About

I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Texas by way of Seattle Washington. I have over 10 years of experience fighting injustice and advocating for underserved populations. With over 7 years working specifically with the mental health population and over five years of experience working specifically with special populations such as homeless veterans, LGBTQ and geriatrics. I have experience dealing with a wide range of concerns, to include but not limited to, anxiety, PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, anger management, self care, substance abuse and use disorder, psychotic disorders, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorders and grief counseling. I have counseled families, adolescents, young adults, adults as well as geriatrics.
I view a person in their environment which allows me to take a holistic approach to their treatment planning. I believe in taking a client-centered strength-based approach to building rapport and developing a therapeutic alliance with my clients. All efforts and work will be done collaboratively with my client; we are a team; I work only as hard as you do. I meet my clients where they are at in their journey and allow them to drive the boat as fast or slow as they need to go; It is my job to provide light and guidance while my client steers. I stay on top of the most current research and information so that I am able to provide the best evidenced based practice as possible. It is my goal and duty to do no harm and to ensure that I am providing the absolute best service that I possibly can to my clients.
In short, I am honored that you have allowed me to join you on this journey and furthermore, I am excited that you have decided to take this very important first step towards a better you, as well as hopeful for where it shall lead you!
