Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas. I received my masters in Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) and have been practicing for 6 years. I have experience working with individuals from ages 3-100, but am currently only working with adults and young adults. I have a vast experience in crisis work, dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, suicidal thoughts, and self-harm.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will do brief introductions. This will allow us to determine if I am the right therapist for you, based on your current needs and my own experience/specialties. If we are the right match, then we will begin working on a treatment plan that is crafted to your specific situation. We will also discuss an expected timeline of sessions. Typically I see clients on average for 6 months, so we will review how that works and what to expect during that time.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
In my years in crisis care, I have learned to provide a calm and safe space for my clients. I am proficient at helping my clients identify triggers and stressors. I am also effective at teaching effective coping skills that are specific to my clients, and creating appropriate goal-oriented treatment plans.
