I am a Licensed Professional Counselor offering virtual sessions in the state of Texas! I have completed through two levels of the Gottman Institute trainings, which have equipped me with valuable insights and evidence-based techniques for enhancing relationship satisfaction, improving communication, and resolving conflicts effectively.
I also hold a Perinatal Mental Health Certification from PSI International, indicating my passion in supporting individuals, couples, and families during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenting life stages. Through my training and experience, I am equipped to provide specialized support to those navigating the unique challenges that arise in the perinatal journey and the transition into parenthood.
Approach
In my practice, I integrate elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) to tailor treatment plans to each client’s specific needs and goals. Drawing from the principles of CBT, I help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that may be contributing to distress or conflict. Additionally, I utilize the core techniques of EFT to foster emotional connection, empathy, and understanding within relationships.
While different, CBT and EFT can complement each other by helping clients recognize the interplay between thoughts and emotions, which allows therapists to provide a holistic and flexible approach to counseling that addresses both cognitive and emotional aspects of the client’s experience.
Get in touch
If you are seeking support with relationship issues, navigating the perinatal journey, or adjusting to the transitions of parenthood, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can work towards greater understanding, connection, and fulfillment in your life and relationships.
