ABOUT ME
Hello, and welcome to my profile. I am a clinical psychotherapist, licensed as an LPC in Texas. I have been working in the field of mental health, in various capacities for the past 34 years, and in private practice for 29 of those, including currently. I have had many years of trainings, and hold multiple certifications. My work has included, but is not limited to; issues with anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, abuse and domestic violence; marriage and family, couples/relationships; custody, LGBQT; gender identity; addictions; terminal issues, death and dying; multicultural issues, and many others.
Although I have worked with all ages and levels of clients, I am currently only working with adults, marriages, and couples. I also provide psychotherapy, counseling and life coaching. My general approach to therapy work, is to assess client’s presenting issues and assist them to resolution of whatever is causing them the most distress. I use, talk therapy, CBT, mindfulness, relaxation techniques and particularly focus on integrative processes, to better balance mind, body and spirit. It is my greatest desire to help others find what best fits in their lives and brings them the most peace.
I have an awareness and sensitivity to multicultural issues, and although I am Christian, I have great respect for other faiths and beliefs. I believe that I am easy to talk to, empathetic and have a gift of being very intuitive, and I will use all of these and other personal characteristics in my work with others. I look forward to working with those who are seeking more balance and contentment in their lives.
