I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in the State of Texas. I earned my Master of Social Work degree in 2016 from SFASU. I have worked with numerous populations including those suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, mental health crisis, People Living with HIV/AIDS, as well as those with new and chronic health issues, substance abuse, and job loss. I am a very open-minded person who believes that each client us unique and requires a unique approach to treatment. I have experience counseling clients with a variety of problems bothering them including Stress, Anxiety Self-esteem Depression, Addictions, Relationship issues, Trauma, Career difficulties, Coping with life changes, ADHD, Chronic Pain Illness and Disability, Family Problems, Isolation/Loneliness, Life Purpose, Mood Disorders.

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

Building rapport and beginning to get to know each other. I feel it is important that you are a good match as a team in order to be effective.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy to help shape treatment to your individual needs. Some of the therapies/techniques utilized include: Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered, Solution Focused Brief (SFBT), Strength-Based.

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

I feel my biggest strength is helping people realize their potential/strengths. This has really been the best part of counseling for me. Everyone has individual, unique strengths that they may not realize or even be aware of in their day-to-day life. Using these strengths to achieve your goals and overcome your problems is something I love to help each client with no matter what they may be struggling with in terms of diagnosis.
