HI! I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-S) based in Texas. I received my Masters from the University of Texas at Arlington and have been practicing for about 8 years. I specialize in empowering individuals to create healthy boundaries while encouraging them to find strength from within. This could mean finding one's voice, advocating for oneself, or being honest with yourself. I understand that asking for help may be difficult, but investing in being heard, understood, and assisted on your growth journey is priceless. My approach is holistic, helping individuals, families, and couples explore their authentic selves and identify any issues.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session, we will review your assessments, answer any questions that I have, and ask you where you want to start. Everyone is different, and what brought you to the session and what you need at that moment may not be the same.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength as a provider is giving you space to process and challenge yourself so that you pause to reflect. This is often why my clients "love and hate me, as they say," because I will ask the questions you are avoiding, challenge your beliefs, and require you to do the work. We are in this process together, but it is your journey, and I am only here to support you.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
This methodology is used daily to aid individuals in thinking about their actions and the associated behaviors. Often, individuals must determine if their behaviors align with who they think they are. In some cases, change is required; in others, it may mean re-evaluating the relationships they value most. There is no wrong process; ultimately, clients determine their truth with some tough questions.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
In some situations, change can not be done or isn't controlled by clients; therefore, acceptance is required for healing. This could be when dealing with grief, childhood trauma, or inner child work. Clients have to be open to this methodology; however, it is effective in practice.
Trauma Informed Care
Trauma-informed care is a method that I use in my practice daily and in every session. As a therapist, the goal is to be mindful that while in therapy, you treat sensitive issues identified in a way that does not cause more harm to the individual. This could look like waiting until you are ready to discuss an issue, circling back, or giving a homework assignment that may help guide the emotional process.
