I believe the therapeutic progress is successful by supporting my clients in their journey toward a healthier sense of self. I also believe a fundamental piece of forming a foundation for long lasting change begins with the power of a genuine, accepting relationship with my clients. This is achieve by creating a compassionate, authentic and safe space enabling client(s) to feel comfortable and understood in their process. I have been in public schools for more than 12 years helping students and their families navigate unexpected times. I look forward to my clients growth and journey.
For the past 5 years I have been a Student Support Counselor in Westlake/Eanes ISD at the elementary level. Additionally, I have worked for more than 5 years in middle and high school levels in Austin ISD. Throughout my journey of elementary, middle and high school levels I have acquired a unique perspective on various issues troubling todays youth.
Quoting Mr. Rogers, there are three ways to ultimate success; The first way is to be kind. The second way is to be kind. The third way is to be kind. I believe kindness is the path to trust and safety in the counseling relationship and journey. Through these comfortable feelings and trust the journey is effective and creates hope. With hope all is possible.
