Therapists serving clients in Springlake, TX

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate in Behavioral Health and over ten years of mental health experience, and I am a military officer. My education includes a B.S. in psychology, a Masters in Health Service Administration, a Masters in Social Work, and a Doctorate in Behavioral Health (clinical) with five years of studying integrated care. I use a holistic approach and solution-focused approach when providing therapy to my clients which involves assessing if a client has co-morbid issues such as diabetes and depression or chronic pain and anxiety. I believe it is vital to assist clients with health management while addressing mental health issues. I am caring and compassionate and recognize that there is still a stigma associated with seeking mental health treatment. As a result, I appreciate anyone that takes time to care for their state of mind as it is just as important as maintaining physical health. Additional treatment modalities that I use include mindfulness practice, dialectal behavior therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing. In addition to providing services to the civilian population, I also have experience working with the military community to include Active Duty, Reserves, National Guard, and Veterans. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, personality disorders; i.e., borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorders, trauma, sexual abuse, self-esteem issues, and PTSD. I am a military Victim Advocate who completed Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) which provides me with additional skills to assist those that are survivors/victims of sexual assault and to intervene appropriately and prevent the risk of suicidal thoughts and suicidal behaviors. I also have experience working with clients dealing with substance abuse issues, adjustment problems, grief and loss, and work-related stressors.

I am here to help you navigate this part of your journey by supporting you along the way. Here is a little more information about me: I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor and I have been in the helping profession in one way or another for more than nine years. My first professional career was as an Elementary teacher and then I moved into Middle School/High School counseling, and as a Social Emotional Counselor for the alternative education program. I currently supervise licensed professionals for the same school district. Through my school-work career, I have had opportunities to work with people of all ages. I have the unique experience of seeing firsthand how a crisis, grief, interpersonal conflict, trauma, and family conflict can impact each person in the family in a different way. When we work together I hope to build a meaningful connection, so that the work you do is specific to your needs and your growth. My approach may vary depending on what you need and what you're hoping to gain. Primarily I focus on a client-centered approach in which unconditional regard to your care is key. I may also utilize tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Reality Therapy, Cognitive- Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered therapy. Some of the tools from those approaches help YOU empower YOU! My goal as your professional counselor is to provide a safe and ethical space for you to explore, work through, and grow emotionally. I consider myself laid back, non-judgmental, and a good perspective taker. I hope that I may help you during this time in your life.
