The decision to attend counseling can be a significant moment in one’s life. The choice to seek this kind of support can come about for many reasons. People seek therapy to deal with issues, conflicts, and problems associated with a range of topics: interpersonal relationships, professional/career issues, family struggles, unwanted symptoms/behaviors/feelings, a desire to make change, a need to process/grieve painful events from the past or present, self-exploration and many other purposes.
Adult counseling for depression is the most common types of complaints I see in my practice. The National Institute for Mental Health estimates approximately 1 in 10 Americans will suffer from depression in their lifetime. In addition to treating clients with depression, I also treats adult clients with a variety of challenges, including:
Anxiety
Depression
Bipolar Disorder
Men’s Issues
Cultural identity issues
Work/Life Balance issues
Anger Management
Our primary therapeutic approach is utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques (CBT) . To learn more about the model CBT click here. I believe that if you change your thinking, you change how you feel and thus you change your life. Although my main therapeutic approach is to rely on CBT, I also rely on strategies from Positive Psychology and Mindfulness Based Therapy.
We provide exceptional services to clients throughout Texas and Florida.

Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy, or MBCT, is designed for people who suffer from repeated bouts of depression or chronic unhappiness. It combines the ideas of cognitive therapy with meditative practices and attitudes based on the cultivation of mindfulness. Recent research has shown that people who have been clinically depressed three or more times in their life find that learning mindfulness-based skills help to considerably reduce their chances of depression returning.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT is a short-term, problem-focused form of behavioral treatment that helps people see the difference between beliefs, thoughts, and feelings, and free them from unhelpful patterns of behavior. CBT is grounded in the belief that it is a person’s perception of events – rather than the events themselves – that determines how he or she will feel and act in response.
