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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
