LCSW, 8 years of experience
Hi! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas. I obtained my master’s degree from the University of Texas at San Antonio and have been licensed as a social worker for 7 years. I am passionate about working with people from all walks of life. I focus on meeting people where they are in life and helping them utilize their own strengths to reach a place of healing.
In our first session together, we will begin with brief introductions and begin building rapport. Then, we will dive into presenting challenges and expectations for therapy.
As a therapist, I believe that of my strongest strengths is that I am a relational therapist that focuses on identifying and utilizing my clients strengths to guide therapy. I am also person-centered so I strive to meet my clients where they are in life. Many times I have been told that "working with teens is my superpower."
I have the most experience working with adolescents and young adults. They are usually struggling with anxiety, trauma, depression, self-confidence, body image, and life transitions that affect their daily life. However, they are motivated to heal and improve their overall life satisfaction.
It is very important to me that I meet all my clients where they are in life; and to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment where the client can be authentically themselves as I help them to become more self-aware.
I prefer to focus on my client's strengths and innate resilience rather than their weaknesses. This way I believe it will be easier to find solutions to your problems by developing a positive and flexible mindset.
Though I utilize a variety of therapy methods as needed in treatment, as a humanistic therapist I take a holistic approach in treating clients by focusing on self-discovery. Together we explore your feelings, circumstances, and utilize your own strengths to create a treatment plan that is unique to you and your needs.
