Your First Session
In a first session I create a place to get to know one another. I will educate you on who I am and what Therapy with me can look like. I will walk you thought information that is important for the safety of the Therapy process. After this I like to create space to get to know the person in front of me. We only discuss what feels comfortable with the main goal of seeing if this feels like a good place to start your journey.
Why I Became a Therapist
I choose to be a therapist to help others navigate some of the harder parts of life. I wanted to be a safe place to allow others to discuss hard topics and find the skills to accept life's outcomes. In therapy we can be vulnerable with a person that is safe and creating that for others is an honor.
Deep Dive: My Specialties
CBT/DBT: I use CBT and DBT to help clients build a skills education set to build growth towards their goals. These evidence based approaches help connect clients to the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This understand helps to modify life patterns that may be causing discomfort in the client's life. Traditional Talk Therapy: I use Talk Therapy to create a space of trust and connection within sessions. Use of this skill helps use process life experiences, and emotions that may be causing distress. Building a place of trust allows creation of a safe place to be uncomfortable in order to reach a client's desired goals.
When I'm Not in the Office
When I am not in the office I can be found playing with my dogs or with my family. I enjoy watching reality tv and cooking shows. Houston sports are one of my favorite hobbies to watch or talk about. I am an avid reader and am always on the hunt for a good recommendation.
