About Me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Supervisor in the state of Texas and a member of the National Association of Social Workers. I earned my Masters of Social Work degree through the University of Texas, Arlington and my undergraduate degree from Portland State University. I am trained in EMDR and am Trauma Certified through Colin Ross Institute for Psychological Trauma. I am also trained as a TBRI Practitioner assisting parents and caretakers in creating stronger and deeper relationships with their children and families. My passion includes supporting adolescents, those who have experienced trauma, women struggling with infertility and loss, and individuals desiring growth and awareness.
Specializing in Adolescents, Adults, and Families
Adolescents
The adolescent years are full of challenges, growth, and ongoing transitions that can sometimes feel overwhelming. Teens are navigating changing relationships, developing a stronger sense of self, and learning how to manage big emotions while trying to find their place in the world. After many years working in a high school setting supporting adolescents and their mental health, I understand the unique challenges teens face and the importance of having a safe, supportive place to work through them.
I specialize in supporting teens who struggle with self-harm, emotional regulation, and relationship challenges. My goal is to create a space where adolescents feel heard, understood, and accepted without judgment. I value their perspectives, welcome their questions, and work collaboratively with them to explore their experiences, develop healthy coping skills, and strengthen their relationships.
Although every teen’s experience is different, the desire for connection and understanding is universal. I believe many adolescents have strengths and abilities they have yet to recognize in themselves. Together, we’ll uncover those strengths, build confidence, and develop the skills needed to navigate challenges and move toward a healthier, more connected future.
Adults
Whether you’re navigating the uncertainties of young adulthood or entering a new chapter later in life, therapy can be a place to better understand yourself and discover who you want to become. I work with young adults as they learn who they are, recognize their strengths, and navigate the challenges of transitioning into adulthood, relationships, and life decisions.
I also support adults who are ready to heal from past experiences, explore patterns that may no longer serve them, and create meaningful change. Together, we’ll build on your strengths, deepen self-understanding, and help you move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling. You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin.
Parents and Families
Parenting through adolescence and the transition into adulthood can bring significant change. As teens grow and seek greater independence, family relationships can become strained, leaving parents and children feeling misunderstood or disconnected. Yet these seasons of change also offer opportunities to strengthen relationships, build understanding, and grow together.
As a TBRI® (Trust-Based Relational Intervention) Practitioner, I help parents and families strengthen connection, build trust, and better understand one another’s needs. Through open communication, perspective-taking, and compassionate conflict resolution, we can work toward healthier relationships and a more connected, supportive family environment.
My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, creating space for each family member to feel heard and understood. Together, we’ll identify areas for growth and build on your family’s strengths to create the connection, trust, and relationships you want for your family.
