Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), practicing in California. I received my Masters from the University of Alabama and have been practicing for over 10 years. As a therapist, I enjoy working with individuals who have experienced trauma, and/or are experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety. I am dedicated to helping clients manage aspects of their trauma-related symptoms and improve their personal and professional lives. By creating a supportive and empathetic environment, I guide them toward healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of hope and empowerment.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will begin by getting to know each other and identifying your personal goals. Building a thorough understanding of you and your needs takes time, and I am committed to progressing at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Initially, I will focus on creating a safe, non-judgmental environment to establish rapport. As we move forward, we will develop a customized plan to address your goals in subsequent sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Throughout my extensive tenure spanning over a decade, I have accrued invaluable experience in both governmental and private hospital environments. My professional journey has been dedicated to delivering comprehensive individual and group therapy services to individuals grappling with a spectrum of psychological challenges, including but not limited to PTSD, depression, anxiety, and stressors associated with various life phases. Preceding my transition into the therapeutic realm, I proudly served in the United States Army, where I actively participated in Operation Iraqi Freedom, affording me firsthand insight into the profound ramifications of trauma on individuals, as well as the broader ripple effects extending to their social networks and surrounding environment, particularly evident in cases of PTSD.
