LCSW, 20 years of experience
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s transitions with confidence and purpose. Whether you’re managing stress, anxiety, or uncertainty about your career or relationships, I provide a supportive space to explore your goals and build resilience. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical—focused on helping you gain clarity, strengthen coping skills, and create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. Through my experience as a vocational evaluator, I’ve helped many people uncover their strengths, build confidence, and find direction. Whether you're feeling lost in a job that no longer fits, questioning your qualifications, or just burned out, we’ll take the time to understand where you are—and where you want to go—so we can build the tools to get there together. I bring a strong educational and professional foundation to my work. I hold a master’s degree in Social Work and a master’s degree in Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both Texas and Florida, as well as a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor. These qualifications allow me to support clients through both emotional and practical challenges, especially those related to work, identity, and life transitions.
In our first session, my focus is on creating a space where you feel truly heard, supported, and understood as we begin exploring your academic and career goals. We’ll start by looking at the factors currently influencing your career decisions—what’s been working, what hasn’t, and why certain paths may not feel like the right fit. This helps us identify any barriers or challenges that might be getting in the way. From there, we’ll explore your interests, strengths, values, and long-term aspirations—the pieces that shape your sense of purpose and direction. By understanding what drives and inspires you, we can begin to design a career path that feels authentic and achievable. Together, we’ll outline clear next steps and practical strategies to help you move forward with confidence. My goal is to help you gain clarity, build momentum, and feel empowered to pursue the career path that aligns with who you are and where you want to go.
Navigating today’s complex workforce can feel overwhelming, but with the right guidance, individuals can not only overcome challenges but truly thrive in their careers. With extensive experience as a career counselor, I help clients work through occupational and educational difficulties with confidence and clarity. My approach is personalized, drawing on techniques from Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, as well as Adlerian and Rogerian methods, ensuring that each plan is tailored to your unique strengths and goals.
I work with people who are feeling stuck, uncertain, or ready for a change in their personal, academic, or career lives. My ideal clients are curious about their strengths, open to exploring new possibilities, and looking for support in navigating challenges while building confidence and clarity. Together, we focus on finding practical steps and insights that help you move forward with purpose and ease.
With over 20 years of experience in behavioral health and vocational rehabilitation counseling, I offer a wealth of knowledge coupled with a compassionate, non-judgmental approach. My role is to support and encourage you as you embark on your journey of self-discovery. I am committed to helping you build self-confidence and develop a stronger sense of identity as you advance in your career. By providing a safe and empathetic environment, I aim to empower you to explore your true potential and take meaningful steps toward achieving your professional goals.
With Solution-Focused Therapy, we will concentrate on addressing your current concerns and envisioning a future where these issues have less impact on your life. Our focus will be on identifying practical steps and solutions that can help you move towards your goals and create positive change.
In narrative therapy, we will engage in collaborative discussions to explore and reframe your life stories. Together, we will identify alternative narratives and develop strategies to align your life with the story you wish to embrace. This approach helps you create a more empowering and fulfilling narrative that reflects your true values and goals.
