I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in the DFW area in Texas. I remember one of my mentors who said (while I was in training/practice): "You can learn all the approaches, but if you are not skilled in listening, it will not be helpful for anyone". My main approach is the Client-Centered and humanistic approach, with unconditional support, acceptance, and empathic listening.

Untangling the mess in our heads can feel like a lonely and isolating experience, but letting someone into that mess is equally scary. I embrace a non-judgmental approach with my clients to cultivate a warm and accepting environment to explore and untangle the mess safely. Our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are intricately linked, and when one is messy, the other two suffer. Together, we will ask the hard questions, and together we will traverse the twists and turns to find peace, building trust and confidence along the way.

When you’re trying your best to show up for your family, your friends and your career, it’s hard to make time for yourself. Outwardly you appear to have it all together, but if someone were to look closer, just below the surface, you struggle with anxiety and uncertainty. You’ve worked hard to build a life for yourself, but fight to take up space in it. And, while your impulse is to take care of others, you neglect caring for yourself and prioritizing your healing. I want you to know that there is another way to engage with life.

Therapy can be a tough but incredibly rewarding journey. It often requires facing difficult emotions and confronting parts of ourselves we may have avoided. When you start recognizing your triggers, learning how to regulate your emotions, and practicing the skills you gain in therapy consistently, the progress can be transformative. The challenge lies in staying committed to the process, especially when the work feels overwhelming.

Starting my career in 1993, I have worked with individuals from all walks of life. I believe that at the core of every human being is the desire for growth and self-discovery. We are each born unique, and yet we spend our lives being told by others how to live and behave like everyone else. Over time, the process of forgetting the authentic self leads one to experience emotional distress that is uniquely personal. Whether dealing with life changes, relationship issues, or disabling mental illness, working with a competent psychotherapist can facilitate the process of overcoming obstacles and developing a more fulfilling life.
