About My Clients
Along with providing general counseling, my practice focus stands to serve two particular communities in our Houston Metro area: 1) those on a cancer journey, and 2) members of the LGBTQIA+ community. It is my goal to provide for the mental healthcare of these two populations due to personal experience as well as a defined need for counseling services for each. I look forward to the opportunity of working with you.
My Background and Approach
Prior to my final year of study (2010-2023), I served the Baytown and Houston communities as an educator helping students to focus on and improve their English Language Arts and Reading skills. This experience provided me with a wealth of knowledge in working with our youth and serving as teacher, mentor, and guide through many of the struggles that come along with adolescence. I believe that each of us deserves a chance at finding a balance within our lives. This may include counseling over the long-term or the occasional "reset" session. I am here to serve and to help you find that balance so that you can pursue life on your own terms and find the best "you" that you can be.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My focus is on working with clients who are experiencing trauma as a result of the challenges life can throw at us. Areas of specialty include accidents, cancer, LGBTQIA+ issues, and HIV; however, these are not the only areas of mental health that I can help with. I also work with clients with ADHD, anxiety and depression, including: general anxiety disorder, PTSD, and major depressive disorder (episodic or chronic), as well as men's issues. My focus treatment modalities are mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, Sandtray therapy, Reiki, and walk-and-talk therapy, all rooted in Existential theoretical approach. During our first session, we will discuss what brought you to therapy and set a plan of how you want to proceed. This may include one or a combination of the types of therapy that I offer. We will tailor our time to suit your needs. I work with clients ages 15 through end of life.
