As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas, specializing in supporting individuals as they navigate life stressors, overcome internal challenges, and heal from past experiences. My approach is rooted in organically empowering clients to discover their unique strengths, build resilience, and achieve personal growth and well-being. Whether you're facing relationship issues, anxiety, trauma recovery, or seeking personal development, I provide a compassionate and supportive environment where we work together to foster positive change and a fulfilling life.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll begin with introductions to get to know each other. From there, we'll dive into discussing the specific challenges you're currently facing. This conversation is crucial as it helps me understand your unique situation and concerns better. Based on our discussion, I'll create a personalized plan to guide our work in subsequent sessions. Together, we'll explore strategies and tools to help you overcome obstacles, build resilience, and move towards achieving your goals.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

In our sessions, we'll work together to break the cycle of negative thoughts and habits. I'll guide you in finding practical, everyday strategies to overcome these obstacles and improve your well-being. My goal is to create a supportive and collaborative space where you feel comfortable and empowered to make positive changes.

Christian Counseling

With years of experience, I've witnessed how combining Faith with therapeutic techniques can lead to profound healing and growth. In our sessions, we'll work together to explore your concerns through a Christian perspective, finding strength and guidance in biblical teachings and spiritual practices. My goal is to create a supportive and collaborative space where you feel empowered to make meaningful and positive changes, with your faith as a cornerstone of your journey.

Strength-Based

I make it a priority to shine a spotlight on what my clients excel at and what has empowered them in the past. Strength-Based Therapy, centers on uncovering and harnessing each client's unique strengths, resources, and resilience to catalyze growth and transformation. Together, we forge a path towards their goals with positivity and affirmation, creating a supportive space where they can thrive and build on their strengths with confidence.

Biofeedback

Incorporating Biofeedback therapy is transformative. This method allows clients to harness their body's signals, such as heart rate variability, skin temperature, and muscle tension, to enhance well-being and manage stress and anxiety more effectively. Biofeedback helps us monitor these physiological responses, fostering mindfulness by increasing awareness of bodily sensations and promoting relaxation techniques. Together, we develop personalized strategies to strengthen mindfulness and resilience, creating a supportive environment where clients can achieve lasting positive change.

Trauma Informed Care

I deeply understand how trauma can profoundly impact individuals' lives, influencing their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we explore the effects of trauma with empathy, working collaboratively to build resilience and promote healing. My goal is to empower clients to reclaim their sense of self and cultivate lasting emotional well-being through compassionate listening and personalized therapeutic approaches.
