Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas. I have spent my career in the Social Work field serving a diverse clientele.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, practicing in both Arkansas and Texas. I have over 13 years of experience as a social worker dedicated to helping others learn tools that they can put in their emotional toolbox to use when needed. I work with both adults and couples who want to not only process what they are going through but also learn about themselves in order to discover what tools they need to grow. I am a little different than what you probably think of when you consider going to a therapist, but this is a good thing. I will tailor your therapy experience to your unique personality and way of dealing with emotions or struggles that you may encounter in life.

I am licensed in Texas with over 8 years as a mental health practitioner. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, lgbtq+ related issues, trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

We live in busy times with many responsibilities as students, workers, children, and as a parent, or any combination of these. It is easy to become overworked, set high expectations of ourselves, and can become exhausted with our own efforts, struggling to find purpose, optimism, and motivation. I believe that when we slow down and have someone to check in with, we can find our way back to what we believe is our path, our purpose, and/or be more present in our lives. Checking in with our habits, behaviors and our emotions and intuition can tell us if and when we are thriving in life. I also believe in the resilience and capacity for growth within every individual, however, sometimes due to trauma or patterns of behavior, we become stuck. One may know their behavior is unhealthy or preventing growth, yet unaware of how to change. The process of therapy is exploring what is stopping you from living your best life and offering support and guidance to make changes. I have experience helping clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional dysregulation, adjustment to life transitions, relationship issues, and parenting concerns. My therapeutic style is collaborative, person-centered, and solution focused. I am friendly, passionate, optimistic, and show up authentically in the therapy room. I frequently use a psychodynamic approach, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT/DBT/ACT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), tailored to meet the unique needs of each client.
