I obtained my Master's degree in Social Work at University of Texas at Arlington in 1997. I received my Bachelor's degree from University of Texas at Tyler in 1993. I also received my advanced clinical license in 1999. I have worked in the mental health field for over 25 years. I have worked in the inpatient mental health hospital setting for much of those years. I have also done outpatient, private practice for over 16 years..
I utilize research-based practices: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal Theory, EMDR and other evidence-based skills/techniques.
I like to join my clients in their journey and add skills I have learned to assist and aid in the process. I hold space for my clients to experience their journey and create a safe space to put the pieces of life together. My goal is to send each client away with what they came to therapy to gain.....
