I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Bachelor's in Psychology from University of Texas at Austin and a Master's in Social Work from the University of Houston. I have experience with a variety of populations including those struggling with trauma, PTSD, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, reintegration after serving long prison sentences, self-esteem, life changes, relationships, family discord, family structures, and individuals struggling with chronic health issues, specifically Cystic Fibrosis.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will introduce ourselves and get to know each other as people. This will strengthen our base and our human connection. Therapy is meant to be collaborative. We will explore what brought you to therapy and what goals you have for the space we will share. Sometimes, I am meeting someone who has experience with therapy. Other times, it can feel highly emotional to step into a space that is made for emotional processing for the first time. We will approach the first session in a manner that is catered to you.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am a strengths based mental health professional. I will see strengths in you immediately. We will remember your wins and connect them to everything that we do. We will remember your losses and connect them, as well. I am told that my presence in a therapeutic space is validating, positive, and calm.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
ACT is a great tool that allows you to learn about what you value and use that information to move through life's obstacles and challenges. I will be there to educate, explore, and motivate you along the way.
Attachment-based
Our history of relationships with caregivers and partners reflects our attachment styles and how we approach new and existing relationships. Exploring attachment styles and connecting behaviors could allow space for relationships to become healthier.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a classic. CBT is a concept that allows us to handle thoughts and change our behaviors in a working manner. CBT treats anxiety, minimizes depression, and maximizes self-awareness.
Couples Counseling
It's challenging to describe relationships with a character limit: fruitful, loving, ever-changing, painful, lonely, comforting, confusing, invalidating... validating. Relationships are complex. I, a third party, can provide support, feedback, and an intentional space to explore ways to make life within your relationship more positive.
Trauma Informed Care
I specialize with individuals who have endured trauma. We will venture into the past at your pace if we venture at all. How I can support individuals through the effects of trauma is vastly different for each person. With your permission, we can be thoughtful and smart as we move through the healing process that follows traumatic experiences. Together.
