I believe the sky is the limit! You have already taken the biggest step. I look forward in helping you along this journey called life. A key part of my practice as a Licensed Professional Counselor is to build rapport with my clients to assist them with feeling comfortable sharing what can be tough topics. I am passionate about assisting clients with tools to reach their goals. I specialize in working with teens, young adults and couples. I am dedicated to helping clients navigate life's challenges and promote self-awareness while doing so.
I have over 14 years of experience as a clinician. In addition to developing an amazing rapport with my clients I have adapted several therapeutic orientations including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, person-centered, CBT- trauma-focused, Reality Therapy and various mindfulness-based techniques.
Your search for a therapist who will challenge you so you can thrive has ended. I provide in person sessions to Dallas, Texas residence. And I provide virtual sessions to those in Missouri and Texas.
