About My Clients
My clients often come to me with anxiety, depression, grief, and/ or struggling with the relationships in their lives. I enjoy supporting law enforcement and those former and current members of the military. I work with some members of the LGBTQ+ community. Children, teens, and their family members often benefit from support as they manage the special challenges associated with growing up today. I'm particularly proud to offer EMDR for resolution of trauma history.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) Supervisor and Registered Play Therapy (RPT) Supervisor with over 30 years of experience. I have worked in the mental health field with children and families, the Texas Family Courts, domestic and international adoption, and in education from pre-K through college. I have training and experience with military members, first responders, and special education populations. I have additional training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy, and Couples Therapy from a Developmental Model. I take a systems approach to therapy that’s client-centered and strengths-based, working together with you as a team.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Like everyone else, I’ve gone through things no one wants to talk about. But I’ve learned from all of it, including how to laugh. You’ve got to. I’ve experienced a lot in my life and taken away many lessons on how to deal with what life throws at us. I think it makes me down-to-earth and relatable to anyone. I have enormous respect for what others have been through. I can’t help but admire the perseverance and strength of the human spirit. It inspires me every day. My hippie side loves the yoga greeting, “Namaste.” It signifies that “the divine in me sees the divine in you.” I see this in my clients despite their pain. I’ll always strive to help you bring out your best self so you can see and remember the best inside you!
