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.

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.
Faith based therapy
In faith-based therapy, I blend your spiritual beliefs with counseling to support your mental and emotional well-being. Your faith should be a big part of your life. We will use it as a source of strength and guidance during our sessions. Together, we'll explore how strengthening your faith can help you navigate challenges and find deeper meaning in your healing journey. It’s all about honoring your beliefs while working toward emotional and spiritual growth.
