Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas. I graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso with my Master's in Social Work several years ago, and I have worked in mental health crisis, a behavioral health outpatient clinic, and as a school-based therapist. I have experience working with adults with serious mental illnesses as well as children and young adults to help develop coping skills and reduce anxiety and depression.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we will introduce ourselves and get to know each other a bit. Then we will discuss the main reasons you are seeking counseling and what sort of help you are hoping to receive so we can begin forming a plan.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Empathy and the ability to listen and make people feel heard are some of my strengths. I love to learn about others and figure out how to help them manage the challenges in their lives.
