MS, LPC-s, TA-s, BC-TMH
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 23 years of experience, licensed in the state of Texas (75464), Florida (TPMC76), and Arkansas (P0112055), and a Board Certified Telemental Health provider (BC-TMH). I also have a Supervision Specialization, which qualifies me to supervise LACs in the counseling field.
I have spent most of my career working with children, adolescents, and adults with various mental health issues. I have worked with clients struggling with anxiety, trauma, mood issues, panic disorders, depression, ADHD while working in many different settings/areas in my career, such as outpatient, inpatient, residential, alternative school, day treatment, and school-based settings.
I use a variety of treatment modalities as needed with my main focus on CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and REBT. These treatment modalities address cognitive distortions, conscious and unconscious beliefs, dysfunctional behavior, habitual behaviors, unhealthy emotional responses (e.g., unhealthy anger, depression, anxiety, guilt), and maladaptive behaviors (e.g., procrastination, addictive behaviors, aggression, negative cyclical self-talk) that can negatively impact life.
I will help you develop a better understanding of why problems are occurring, patterns developed in childhood, identify possible interventions, and develop healthy coping mechanisms/strategies to improve your overall level of functioning. No matter what someone has gone through in their life, we all have the ability to heal and be successful; sometimes, we don’t know how to get there. Information is power, and I am here to help you learn more about how behaviors, negative thought patterns, negative/unproductive coping skills, familial issues, and childhood experiences/trauma can keep you from achieving the peace and happiness you deserve.
