About me

Hey there! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Texas. I received my Masters from East Texas A&M University (formerly known at TAMU-C.) I have been in the field of social work for about 8 years now and I am loving everything about what I do! I help anyone from ages 13- 45 experiencing anxiety, depression, and life stressors navigate through healing.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we'd keep it very relaxed and laid back! Starting with brief introductions and what's bringing you to therapy. First sessions can be a little awkward but I will provide a safe non judgemental space for you to share whatever you are comfortable with sharing.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having worked with young people more of my career, I am able to relate to most challenges adolescents and young adults are experiencing. I have learned that sometimes venting in the only way you know how, may be the best start to the turn around you need! Working with me allows you to be authentically you........while improving in the process.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, coping skills, or just the stressors of life? I love working with those who are needing a little more guidance in navigating life. This journey is not the easiest and for some the road a head may seem unbearable. Allow me to be the support you need as we embark on the journey together.

My treatment methods

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I used ACT for the past year in working with those struggling with anxiety, depression, and life changes. This is done by clarifying values and goals, shedding light on those uncomfortable thoughts and emotions, and taking the actions needed to overcome feels or symptoms.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I have used SFBT in helping clients set and achieve goals. I have used this modality primarily with teens and young adults to help them work towards their future.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I have used DBT for the past two years primarily in assessments and diagnoses. During therapeutic sessions, I create a safe space for clients to achieve their goals and improve their quality of life. I have used this modality primarily with clients struggling with anxiety, depression and self harm.
