I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas with over 19 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I graduated with my MSSW degree from the University of Texas at Austin. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, communication difficulties, family of origin issues, and life transitions. I have worked with the civilian and veteran population. What is your approach to therapy? My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, solution focused, and motivational enhancement therapies. I am also trained on cognitive processing therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you? You can expect that I will take down your history and listen carefully to your treatment goals. You can expect me to be empathic and warm. You can also expect to help you process difficulties, learn new skills, learn to challenge beliefs, listen, and explore your past.
