Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker currently residing in Texas. I have over 12 years of experience working in mental health and within the last year I have obtained my Doctorate in Behavioral Health. I help clients struggling with depression, anxiety, grief and trauma amongst other diagnoses. I am also a Christian and when clients decide that they prefer Christian counseling, I am able to provide those services as well. I believe that each individual is different and therefore, the approach should be tailored to suit that individual.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During the first meeting, we will begin with brief introductions before going into the specific challenges that you are facing. This approach will help me to get a better understanding of your goals and to create a plan to work through in following sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a therapist who believes that building a rapport is one of the most important things that can be done for the therapeutic alliance, I am able to create a professional bond that allows for an environment of trust, empathy, collaboration and shared decision-making.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I work with adolescents, adults and the elderly population, each presenting with different challenges to address during the session. My clients are eager to work on identifying coping skills to utilize as needed. I assist people according to their individual needs and circumstances, conducting ongoing assessments of the client’s progress.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to help the client become aware of any inaccurate or negative thought patterns. I assist the client with challenging these thoughts and processing them in a healthy manner.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

Looking to promote positive change by focusing on the future rather than the past. Therapist will assist the patient with setting goals and working on how to effectively achieve them.
