I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas who adores working with children and adolescents. I received my Masters in Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington and have been working in Community Mental Health services since COVID. I am a follower of Christ and I love helping people get through hard times, regardless of who they are or where they come from.
Our first session will be getting to know each other and building a strong, collaborative relationship. I will gather information and evaluate appropriate treatment, and together we will develop a personalized treatment plan.
In my practice, collaboration is key. Clients who are willing to take responsibility for their treatment goals will see a lot of growth and progress, and I can do my best therapeutic work when the client is also putting in the effort to get better. I will be your teammate, your advocate, and your helping hand, but you will take the lead on your goals.
I have the most experience working with children and adolescents, but all ages are welcome! If you are dealing with spiritual issues, relationship issues, work/school stress, depression, anxiety, poor coping skills, low motivation, grief and loss, trauma, low self-esteem, negative self-talk, adjustment issues, or other life stressors, you're in the right place to get help!
I use various therapeutic models in conjunction with CBT to provide a holistic therapy experience - I will help you reframe irrational thinking patterns and negative core beliefs in order for you to start healing mentally and physically.
Spirituality is a major part of a person's wellbeing, and therapy is the perfect place to discuss how belief systems can influence mental health. I accept patients of all spiritual practices and beliefs; and for those who are Believers in Christ, I can offer services rooted in scriptures and in accordance with God's Word.
The most fun part of therapy is learning "tools" for your "toolbox," and that's where psychoeducation comes in. I love to teach my clients communication skills, coping skills, grounding skills, anger management skills, and so much more! My job is to equip each client with the tools they need to survive anything life throws at them.
