Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas, holding a Master’s degree in Social Work from Baylor University. With five years of experience in the field, including having worked in an inpatient psychiatric setting for four years. My expertise includes supporting adolescents and older adults in managing mental health challenges and developing effective coping strategies tailored to their individual needs.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first therapy session, we will begin with introductions to establish rapport and create a comfortable environment. We will then explore your reasons for seeking therapy, discussing any specific concerns or challenges that you are experiencing. Together, we will start drafting an individualized treatment plan, tailored to your goals and needs, to guide our work throughout the therapeutic process.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My strengths as a social worker lie in my ability to collaborate with clients to effectively problem-solve and develop strategies to achieve their identified treatment goals. I am skilled in fostering a supportive, client-centered environment that empowers individuals to take an active role in their own progress, while providing guidance and evidence-based interventions to help them succeed.
