About My Clients
My ideal client is anyone dealing with the human condition. Need to talk? You would be perfect. Feel stuck? You would be perfect. Conflicted? You would also be perfect. My ideal client is interested in progress over perfection. The goal is to assist clients in creating a comprehensive plan for setting and achieving goals; helping to facilitate behavioral change; assisting in helping clients to establish and maintain relationships; and assisting in enhancing client's effectiveness and coping.
My Background and Approach
I am dedicated to helping children, adolescents, and adults with social skills development, parenting, trauma, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, anxiety & fear, relationships, stress, anxiety, grief, behavioral concerns, and social-emotional learning. I am currently a certified Professional School Counselor and LPC-Associate, supervised by Susan Reinke, LPC-S. I attained my BS in Psychology from Xavier University, MS in Juvenile Justice from Prairie View University, and another MS in School Counseling from Lamar University. I believe in an integrative approach depending on the needs of the client with an emphasis on the Person-Centered and Solution-Focused Approach. The goal is to assist clients in creating a comprehensive plan for setting and achieving goals; helping to facilitate behavioral change; assisting in helping clients to establish and maintain relationships; and assisting in enhancing client's effectiveness and coping.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My personal belief is that people can grow, change, and even recover (wellness) from suffering, discomfort, or stressors by going through crisis/catastrophes/unfortunate circumstances and realize that they can successfully go through these things without practicing avoidance techniques that they have oftentimes employed. Real change and wellness begins with awareness of a need to change. Being aware of the need to change is just the beginning. In order to move forward in an effort to grow and achieve wellness, commitment is needed. As Muhammad Ali stated, “A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.”
