Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Texas, holding a Master's degree from the University of Texas at San Antonio. Specializing in supporting adults grappling with depression and anxiety, I also work with individuals who have endured trauma, as it often intensifies symptoms of both conditions. My aim is to guide people towards a life of peace and wholeness, fostering possibilities they may not have imagined for themselves. As a veteran, I am especially passionate about providing accessible therapy to helping professionals, including those with demanding schedules. To accommodate work obligations, I offer flexible after-hours sessions to ensure care is available when it's needed most.
In our initial session, we'll begin by establishing a connection and delving into the challenges you're currently navigating. The insights gathered in this first meeting will inform the development of a personalized treatment plan, serving as a roadmap for our therapeutic journey together.
As a mental health provider, my strengths lie in cultivating a compassionate and non-judgmental therapeutic environment. I am adept at building strong, trusting relationships with my clients, fostering a space where they feel heard and understood. My commitment to ongoing professional development ensures that I stay abreast of the latest therapeutic techniques and approaches, allowing me to tailor my interventions to the unique needs of each individual. With a collaborative and client-centered approach, I strive to empower individuals on their journey toward mental and emotional well-being.
I aspire to support adults who may have lost hope in the possibility of improvement. My clients often see therapy as a last-resort, yet they possess a determination to instigate positive changes and work on self-improvement. These individuals have a genuine desire for change but seek the necessary tools to turn that aspiration into reality.
