“I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) residing in Texas. With over a decade of dedicated service, my passion lies in guiding children, teenagers, young adults, and families toward brighter tomorrows. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy and empowerment, cultivating a safe space where clients can explore their emotions, thoughts, and experiences without judgment. I firmly believe that each individual possesses the strength and resilience to navigate life's challenges, and my role is to help them uncover those inherent abilities. Utilizing a client-centered methodology, I tailor each session to meet the unique needs and preferences of those I work with. From traditional talk therapy to incorporating creative techniques such as art, play, or narrative therapy, I strive to foster a holistic healing journey that honors the whole person. As the renowned psychologist Carl Rogers once said, "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." Together, let us embark on a transformative voyage of self-discovery and growth.”

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD)
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, is one of the most common disorders diagnosed in children. Nine percent of children in the USA have been diagnosed with ADHD. Symptoms, which include hyperactivity and difficulty maintaining focus or paying attention, can last into adulthood for some patients. Boys are four times as likely to be diagnosed as girls, although experts don't know why this is.
There are three main types of ADHD:
When diagnosing ADHD, it is important to rule out other issues that may be causing the symptoms. Seizure disorders, hearing loss, anxiety, and domestic problems are some examples of problems that can cause behaviors similar to those seen with ADHD.
Treatment can include stimulant medications, behavioral therapy to teach patients ways to navigate their world and control symptoms better, and accommodations at school or work. A structured environment (with lots of organization and well-defined rules) seems to help most kids with ADHD function at their best.
ADHD is mainly thought of as a disorder that affects children, but symptoms can last into adulthood for a third to half of those diagnosed. In adults, ADHD has similar symptoms as when it is seen in children: impulsive behavior, difficulty maintaining focus, being easily distracted, or a tendency to fidget. These symptoms can cause problems in a patient's careers and relationships. Additionally, adults with ADHD are at increased risk for substance abuse. Medications can be an important part of treatment for adults, as well as stress reduction techniques and organization skills training. Specialized ADHD coaches can help adults with ADHD manage their symptoms and succeed in all areas of their life.
