About My Clients
Are you feeling stuck, anxious, depressed and unable to decipher why? Are you having difficulty identifying and sifting through your emotions to make sense of it all? Perhaps you lack healthy boundaries with others, are involved in a toxic relationship or have unresolved trauma from a past relationship, event or childhood experience. You may be experiencing a life transition that is challenging your existing habits, internal resources and relationships.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Texas. I received my BA in Psychology from LSU in 2000 and my Master's degree (MSW) from Tulane University in 2002. I have experience working with all ages in various settings. I practiced as a school counselor for 12 years. I've also provided direct clinical services at an inpatient treatment center, medical hospital as well as private practice/counseling agencies. I practice from a holistic wellness perspective, assessing and addressing the wellness of the "whole person", working on the daily practice of creating your own wellness by breaking negative patterns, healing from your past and creating your new conscious self. This approach focuses on the integration of the mind and body in rebalancing the body and nervous system and healing unresolved emotional wounds. I also offer Walk & Talk counseling. This is a mindfulness-based body- oriented therapy that can make it easier for clients to relax while being in nature.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that growth and healing often finds us during our most challenging times. Life is anything but a linear experience, denying and/or avoiding this reality can provoke many uncomfortable emotions. We all experience the peaks and valleys of life! I truly believe that awareness is key! It's the first step in the healing journey. Once we gain awareness of our emotions, triggers and the root cause of them, we can move forward consciously with intention. Growth and healing can be uncomfortable at times as it pushes us outside of our comfort zone, but I will be here to walk through those moments with you in a safe, confidential and judgement free space. I have gone through my own valleys of life where I have had to dig deep and push myself outside of my own self enforced limits. The intentional act of seeking out and engaging in therapy is courageous and is the best gift you can give to yourself and those that you love.
