Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My practice is in Texas. My Master’s Degree is from the University of Texas at Austin. I have worked in the Mental Health in Austin and surrounding communities for over 20 years. This platform gives me the opportunity to connect with anyone in Texas wanting therapy. My primary focus is Trauma. I bring different techniques to address your unique experiences.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first meeting I will talk about what to expect in therapy and answer any questions you may have. It is my intent for you to feel comfortable and know that I come to our sessions with no judgement. Because I want to get to know you, I will ask questions about you, your relationships and what brings you to therapy. We will talk about what you might want to change in your life and what is working in your life. Our sessions will be tele-video but please know that does not impact the therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am genuinely interested in you, so I listen carefully to what you say. Being curious about your life and experiences creates a shared commitment to your therapy goals. Respect of all clients is paramount in my practice.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
People can have traumatic events in their life. Some spend years trying to ‘get over’ the event without being able to process the trauma. There is Big ‘T’ Trauma and little ‘t’ trauma. Both impact a person’s life and their ability to heal. I work with adults who want to address the trauma and its effects. They want to change the feelings of inadequacy, poor self esteem and of course depression. Having that feeling that you don’t have the energy to get up and go to work but you have to put on the working face to get through the day, only to collapse when you get home but having a hard time getting to sleep. All symptoms of depression and a response to trauma. You don’t have to continue this way. Change is possible and we can work together to bring about the change you have imagined.
