Personal Statement
I believe there is no problem that cannot be worked through. I see life as a jigsaw puzzle with many pieces. We often run into problems and frustration as we begin building our puzzle and trying to fit pieces in certain places. It isn’t that we don’t have the pieces, we just need to know where they fit. I enjoy being a part of people’s journey as I help them to navigate their “pieces.” I look forward to working with you to reach and attain your goals while helping you discover the myriad of opportunities that lay ahead.
Education and Training
Toni earned her Bachelor of Arts in Education from the University of Texas at Dallas. Upon completing her degree, she worked as an early childhood educator for 15 years. She graduated with a Master of Arts in Counseling from Crown College in 2020. Trainings are ongoing and although Toni works from an eclectic approach, she especially likes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and person centered therapeutic approaches.
