As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas and Idaho, I work with adults navigating life’s challenges and transitions, including anxiety, trauma, depression, substance use, and phobias such as driving anxiety and health anxiety. I am EMDR-trained and committed to using evidence-based practices to support meaningful and lasting change. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply tired of living in survival mode, my goal is to help you reconnect with your own capacity to heal, build confidence, and move forward with greater peace and clarity.
My approach is client-centered, compassionate, and integrative. I draw from evidence-based practices and tailor therapy to meet your unique needs. I am EMDR trained, trauma informed, and have completed Gottman Method Levels I and II training, allowing me to support individuals in navigating relational healing.
Healing isn't a straight line. Some sessions may feel deeply reflective, others may focus on learning new skills, processing difficult experiences, or even sharing a laugh when it's needed. My hope is that you'll leave each session with a little more understanding, a lot more hope, and the confidence that lasting change is possible.
