Grief counselors and therapists in Buda, TX

Hello! I am a Licensed Practicing Counselor and Art Therapist here to help you navigate emotional hardships and invest in your mental health and well-being.

I have experience in working with children, adolescents, adults, groups, and couples. My techniques range from a variety of modalities including a person-centered approach, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused therapy. While working alongside my clients, I provide individualized treatment for a wide range of concerns.

I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience in direct practice and leadership. Much of my work has focused on supporting children and families through trauma and daunting times. I help clients recognize their strengths and move forward with crisis intervention, practical tools, education, helpful resources, and compassionate care. I believe healing can begin with feeling understood, supported, and less alone.

As your counselor, I will be a partner in developing appropriate treatment plans that accomplish established goals. I believe that human development is a lifelong process and personality and behavior changes are possible at any time. I also believe in the need for a flexible multicultural approach and that the counselor and client are equal partners.

I love working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I have worked with people from various backgrounds and cultures throughout my career and these experiences help me to easily connect with my clients. Additionally, I have worked with children and adults with anxiety disorders, provided pre-marital counseling, and addressed spiritual concerns for individuals, couples, and families. I have obtained specialized instruction in working with victims of human trafficking, and persons who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or transgender. Also, I have experience working with persons of varied ethnic, racial, sexual orientation, and religious backgrounds.

As a Counselor, I am always looking for opportunities to grow and develop my abilities to best serve my clients. I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC) by the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC). I am an active member American Counseling Association (ACA) and Texas Counseling Association (TCA). I look forward to partnering with you on your journey to achieve and maintain wellness.
