Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas. I received my masters degree in Social Work specializing in Community Mental Health in 1997 and have been licensed as a LCSW since 2000, originally in Illinois. I have had the opportunity to work with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, addictions, grief, crisis/trauma, and relationship issues. My goal is to meet you where you are utilizing the treatment method that best fits you.
During our first session, we will focus on your specific challenges. Although we will review your intake form, I want to hear your story from you and gather background information. This will act as a roadmap to goal-setting and follow-up sessions.
I have had the privilege of working with individuals, couples, and families with various life challenges/traumas. I believe in using an eclectic approach that utilizes affirmation and encouragement by meeting you where you are and empowering you where you want to go.
Life is tough, the world is constantly changing. Sometimes, everyone needs someone to walk with during a season of life. It takes courage to reach out and take the first steps. It would be my privilege to walk with you as you discover your new path.
My goal is to process with you your thoughts, feelings & behaviors while increasing your coping skills and decreasing depression and/or anxiety. By identifying faulty thinking & sabotaging behaviors, you can begin create new positive thoughts and experiences.
I use this short-term approach which focuses on building solutions and goal setting.
Christian counseling is utilized at the request or desire of the client.
