LPC Associate Supervised by Heidi Johanson, M.S., LPC-S: Life can be messy, but there can be beauty in the mess. I aim to guide my clients in developing effective coping skills, improving communication, building positive relationships, and recognizing their inner strengths. I am a former teacher of 15+ years in the public school system. I am Generalist Pre K-6th, Math Supplemental 6-8th, ESL, GT and SPED Certified Kindergarten-12th grade in Texas. I am also a Texas Licensed School Counselor. I specialize in educational consultation and school behavior modifications. I can assist in a strong alliance with the school system.
I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and other life stressors. I use a variety of modalities including play therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and activity therapy to help manage symptoms, build self-esteem, and foster healing and growth.
Each person brings a unique perspective and set of experiences, which is why I prioritize creating a supportive, empathetic environment where clients feel heard and understood. My approach is rooted in genuine acceptance and collaboration, working together to help you discover your strengths and equip you with the tools to navigate life’s challenges.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better
