My Approach to Helping

More Info About My Practice

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Counseling in 2009 and a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology in 2012 from Capella University. I have been practicing as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Mediator since 2013. I left a community agency to open my counseling practice in 2017 in Bellaire, Texas to better serve the needs of my clients in a manner that is tailored to your individual needs. The practice was birthed out of the need to provide quality mental wellness counseling and coaching to all individuals who want to live their best life.

Important Factors for Choosing a Therapist

ASK FOR PERSONAL RECOMMENDATIONS
There was a time the topic of mental health was considered taboo. But luckily those days are behind us and many people are now open to seeking therapy. You may very well have a friend or family member who has or currently is working with a therapist they love.

ASK YOUR DOCTOR
If you already have a good relationship with a doctor, dentist, or anyone in the medical field who honors your confidentiality, they are a great resource to tap into about a mental health professional referral since they are connected to many people in the medical field.

INSURANCE COMPANY REFERRALS
If you happen to be one of those lucky individuals with an insurance company that has a stellar customer service department, you might want to ask them to suggest a therapist in your network whom they have vetted.

INTERNET SEARCH
If you have no one you can personally ask, then you will need to perform an internet search for therapists in your local area. One of the best places to start is referral websites. These sites have a comprehensive list of therapists from around the country. To be listed on them requires a minimum of professional qualifications: a legitimate advanced degree in their discipline and an up-to-date professional license or certification.

What I Say to People Concerned about the Therapy Process

People who ask for help know when they need it and have the ability to reach out. You already have some strengths that you?ve used before, that for whatever reason, aren?t working right now. Perhaps your problem(s) feel overwhelming and are making life challenging. In our work together, we will identify those strengths and work together to improve your circumstances and your life.

Our sessions are completely confidential, therefore, you won?t have to worry about others knowing or spreading your business. Friends and family may develop biases towards your significant other based on how the situations were presented. I am here to help you approach your situation in a new way? teach you new skills for improving communication and restoring intimacy.
