I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas with 15 years experience helping people dealing with a variety of personal issues. I am a graduate of Abilene Christian University and the University of Texas at Austin. Prior to earning my LCSW license, I worked for 25 years teaching parents how to cope with the transitions of life due to childbearing and parenting. My professional counseling experience includes private practice, community service and hospice medical social work. As a therapist I have assisted people dealing with anxiety, grief, trauma, abuse, faith challenges, depression and self esteem. Making the decision whether or not to seek help is a personal, and a very private one. In my experience the Client/Therapist relationship is a foundation of effective counseling. A person’s connection and comfort with the therapist are essential aspects of building a trust relationship and go far beyond what a therapeutic modality can offer by itself. I honor each person’s life struggles and believe that past circumstances help us recognize the strengths we want to take forward in life as well as helping us grow beyond past difficulties. This healing work better equips us to deal with current pain, trauma, and/or disappointments. Specialities: Stress / Anxiety Trauma and abuse Faith Challenges Grief Coping with Life Changes Also experienced in: Codependency, Panic Attacks, Abandonment, Caregiving Issues and Stress, Control Issues, Self Esteem, Career Difficulties, Compassion Fatigue.
