About My Clients
Anxiety can be a suffocating. Constantly on the run from this feeling, retreating back from life while trying to avoid it, all while hiding your pain from others. Has your life gotten smaller as you struggle against this feeling? Are you avoiding certain situations? Putting things off? Do you find yourself getting caught up in worries and self-criticisms that push you around or leave you feeling disconnected and disengaged the world around you? I understand. I want to help you reclaim your life.
My Background and Approach
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas, and a nationally certified counselor (NCC). I am also a certified crisis worker through the American Association of Suicidology, and have extensive, specialized training and experience working with those who have thoughts of suicide and self harm. I believe that genuine, warm, and accepting relationships form the foundation for lasting change in life. I aim to create a space for you to open up, gain insight, and learn the tools to live a more fulfilling life. I have a toolbelt with an array of skills and techniques that have helped many people struggling just like you. Yet, I believe in going beyond just treating the symptoms on the surface. I believe my role as therapist is to help you get in touch with what is truly meaningful and important in your life, then work to create a life worth living, in which you are the best version of yourself and doing what matters most to you.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe systemic injustices have given rise to so much unnecessary suffering in our world. I also believe the human mind tends to amplify suffering, and that in many ways, the evolution and history of our species has not prepared us for the modern world we find ourselves in. The result? Rising rates of depression, anxiety, suicide, and other mental health concerns. On a larger scale, I believe in simultaneously working to end discriminations in all its forms while ensuring economic freedom to liberate the lives of those who have suffered as a result of injustice and discrimination. On a smaller scale, I believe in helping individuals learn the tools to liberate themselves from the natural tendency of their mind to induce and amplify suffering and hold them back from truly living a meaningful and fulfilling life.
