Hi! I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Texas. I have been licensed for 15 years and treating individuals who struggle with a variety of issues and disorders including, but not limited to, depression, anxiety, PTSD, life transitions, self-harm behaviors, grief and loss (death, loss of relationship, etc.). I see ages 13 and up.
In our first session, we will get to know one another. I'll ask specific questions to get an understanding of what is bringing you into therapy and see how I can tailor your therapy plan to meet your needs. Also, I answer any questions my clients about the therapy journey.
Often times, I have been told I understand where my client is coming from and that I am a great listener. Many of my clients compliment me on my ability to challenge them in a supportive manner. They feel this has helped them get through difficult times as they learn how to manage getting out of their comfort zone and work toward positive, lasting change.

I use CBT to address the thoughts that typically influence our emotions. We can choose to think differently thereby decreasing the intensity and frequency of certain emotions that are uncomfortable.
Eclectic means that I typically will tailor your therapy to meet your needs. I draw from various treatment methods including but not limited to CBT, DBT, ACT, Rogerian, and supportive therapy.
