I am a licensed clinical social worker in Texas. I have 23 years of experience as a social worker including 3 years as a psychotherapist and life coach. I have worked with clients through a wide range of concerns including anger, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and life purpose. For 10 years I have worked with clients related to personal grief and loss and am recently certified in complex trauma treatment. My therapeutic style is that of an emotional crossing guard. I am committed to growing genuine, supportive and empathetic relationships through unconditional positive regard for the human experience. I believe people can be the experts in their own lives with some guidance and support. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness and psychodynamic therapies. We will collaborate to develop a treatment plan that reflects your specific needs and desire for change. Thank you for coming here. It takes courage and determination to seek answers or ask for help. This could be your first step toward a more balanced and rewarding life. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support, encourage and cheer for you. I look forward to working with you!
