I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, graduating from Our Lady of the Lake in 2019. I have worked in mental health for roughly ten years and it has been the best journey of my life. I currently work at a non-profit agency working with everyone from toddlers to the elderly.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, I like to get an idea of who you are as a person. I will ask about what brings you to therapy and we will talk about your goals in therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is that I love all people. I truly care about each individual I work with and want to see them succeed. I tend to be very empathic and have experience working with a wide variety of people and issues.

Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is my go to for many clients. I like it because it makes sense to me and it works. Our minds are so powerful and being able to better manage how it works give us more control over our thoughts, emotions, and actions.
Couples Counseling
I have worked with many couples and have had success with helping them. I tend to look at Maslow and help the couple to see each other from the other's perspective. Communication and honesty is very important in relationships so we work on I Statements and assertive communication.
Trauma Informed Care
I have years of experience working with individuals with traumatic pasts. Trauma and PTSD can look like many other things and I am thorough in trying to understand the whole person in order to help them the best way I can.
EMDR
I am EMDR trained and use it to help clients in many different circumstances, from trauma and PTSD to anxiety, depression, and anger.
Eclectic
Though I do have some favorites, I tend to pick from several therapeutic methods in order to find the right fit for each client.
