Hey there! Do you find yourself feeling anxious, sad, frustrated, or having trouble coping with life transitions? That’s where I come in! I'm a LCSW based in Dallas, Texas. I earned my Master of Social Work from Our Lady of the Lake University and a Bachelor of Science from the University of North Texas. During the day I work in hospice care and when I’m not working I enjoy advocating for my fellow zebras, knitting, reading, and volunteering at UNT.
In the first session we are simply going to get to know one another, this is where we start building the therapeutic relationship. We’ll also focus on creating goals together that match your specific needs.
I believe my greatest strengths as a provider include being an active listener, genuinely caring about my clients' well-being, and creating a supportive environment where clients feel heard and understood.
I use CBT to help you identify and change your negative thought patterns and behaviors. We explore how thoughts, feelings, and actions are interconnected, and develop practical strategies to address and manage challenges life throws at you.
I use grief therapy to assist you in navigating the complexities of loss and bereavement. I assist you in processing your emotions, understanding your grief responses, and finding meaningful ways to honor your loved ones.
I use DBT to help you manage intense emotions and develop healthier interpersonal relationships. By combining CBT with mindfulness practices, DBT assists you in building skills like emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication.
I use ACT to help you embrace your thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty about them. This approach helps you develop psychological flexibility and resilience in the face of life's challenges.
