(She/Her)
Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Texas. I received my Masters from the University of Texas in Arlington and have been practicing within the mental healthcare field for the past five years. As a dedicated professional in the mental health and substance use field, I have had the privilege of working with youth, adults, and geriatrics, helping individuals navigate some of the most challenging aspects of their lives.
In our first session together, we will begin with brief introductions and life challenges you are presently facing. This will help build a treatment plan and goals for follow-up sessions.
I believe that true progress begins when individuals are supported in recognizing their strengths, confronting their challenges, and embracing their potential for change.
In working with diverse populations, I understand the distinct challenges that come with many different stages of life. Whether it’s helping youth build resilience, supporting adults in managing life stressors, or providing compassionate care to older adults processing past experiences, I aim to meet each individual where they are and support their growth.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I believe each person’s journey is unique, shaped by their personal experiences and stories. My approach is centered around helping individuals -regardless of age, enhance their self-awareness, discover their life purpose, and foster personal growth. I am deeply committed to creating a therapeutic environment where people feel safe, valued, and empowered to explore their inner worlds without judgement.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured therapeutic approach to help resolve traumatic memories. The approach is effective in treating anxiety, depression, PTSD, and trauma related conditions.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindful-based therapeutic approach that encourages individuals to accept their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or avoiding them. This approach helps clients align with their core values and fosters flexibility by reducing negative thoughts as well as emotions.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidenced-based therapeutic approach designed to help individuals manage intense emotions, reduce self-harming behaviors, and improve relationships with others. DBT fosters balance between acceptance, change, and mindfulness with distress tolerance and regulation.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
Cognitive Processing (CPT) is a structured evidence-based therapy designed to help clients recover from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other trauma related conditions. CPT focuses on identifying and challenging distorted beliefs and thoughts stemming from traumatic experience's such as guilt, shame, and feelings of helplessness. CPT focuses on long term emotional healing by creating resilience and coping skills.
