My Approach to Helping
Welcome! I'm an LCSW-BACS and a Louisiana native who practices in both Texas & Louisiana. I've worked with a variety of clinical presentations in various clinical settings. I have experience working with children, youth, adults, veterans, and families. The settings in which I've practiced include inpatient, clinic, mental health rehabilitation, correctional rehabilitation facility, and school settings. I'm EMDR trained and a recently Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I collaboratively assist clients with improving their self-esteem and self-worth, processing trauma, managing depression and anxiety, challenging negative thought processes, emotion dysregulation, and processing symptoms of grief and mood issues. This is a collaborative therapeutic process that allows fostering healthy intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships, resolving symptoms of grief and trauma, modifying negative internal narratives, managing anxiety and depression, decreasing emotion dysregulation and dissociation, and fostering one's sense of self.
I've worked with adults, families, and adolescents who experienced anxiety, depression, family transitions, trauma wounds, anxiety, low self-esteem, posttraumatic stress, LGBTQIA transitions, substance use, bipolar mood issues, personality issues, and several other life challenges, etc.
I have been so honored to be present throughout my client's journeys of growth, if only to help unburden them from internal suffering. I strive to be both non-judgmental and collaborative, while challenging those who fear-based responses to the environment.
