I am a licensed clinical social worker in Texas with over 12 years of experience working as a social worker and therapist. Throughout my career, I have worked in various settings, including hospitals, private practice, non-profit and corporate. I have worked with a diverse group of clients, with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, coping with medical conditions, and people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style works towards creating a safe and trusting place together with my clients. My approach combines mindfulness, humanistic and psychodynamic, with a focus on combining thoughts and behavior therapy to impact positive change. I do not believe in assigning "labels" or providing "tough love." I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Mickey has been wonderful. She is incredibly understanding and thorough. She also puts in 100% to make sure that you are comfortable with her before moving forward and makes it obvious she wants what is best for you in every situation.
