I am a dedicated and experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. With a Master’s degree in Social Work from Stephen F Austin University and a Doctorate of Business Administration in Healthcare Management and Leadership, I have a passion for helping individuals and families overcome obstacles and reach their fullest potential. Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of settings, including hospitals, community and state mental health centers, corrections and skilled nursing facilities. This diverse background has equipped me with a broad range of skills and strategies to address a wide array of mental health issues.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision. I pride myself on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings. My practice is built on the values of integrity, empathy, and dedication to client well-being.
I believe in meeting clients where they are and walking alongside them on their path to wellness. My therapeutic methods are rooted in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Trauma-Informed Care.
