Life is full challenges, some we never ask for and some we bring on ourselves. I have always believed that burdens in life aren't meant to be faced alone. My counseling style is relational and empathetic. I believe that all people have incredible worth and I consider it an honor to come along side and help those who are seeking positive change and healing. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Texas. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Social Work from Abilene Christian University and my Master of Science in Social Work from The University of Texas at Arlington.
Since 2005, I have provided counseling services to adolescents and adults facing various mental health and addiction issues. I have significant experience working with issues such as substance abuse, depression, anxiety, suicidality, anger, self harm, trauma, and grief.
I seek to meet people where they are emotionally and spiritually. I am trained in Christian Counseling and can provide services to whom request it. As a board approved supervisor, I thoroughly enjoy working with aspiring clinicians who are pursuing licensure. I am also available for professional consulting to individuals or groups.
