Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed out of Texas. I have my master's degree from University of Texas at El Paso and I've been working in the field since 2015. I have a background in medical social work with a focus now on mental health. I help people learn more about their mental health and develop skills to alleviate distress like self compassion.

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

First sessions can feel a bit challenging because it is a gathering of your history. I try and make this process smooth while also educational and validating. I also encourage asking any questions needed to feel more comfortable with the process moving forward.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I use evidenced based practice in a client centered approach. This incorporates a Solution Focused perspective with emphasis on Empowerment and Strengths. I also employ interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and Family Systems.

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

My strengths would be my warmth and approachability. It can be very challenging feeling comfortable with someone instantly to the point of telling them your deepest concerns and emotions. I help make the process smooth and comforting. My approach is very kind even when discussing challenging topics such as change.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I work well with clients who have both depression and anxiety. All that is needed is a willingness to try and I can take over from there. This sets the strongest foundation to move forward and establish real change that has positive benefit.
