I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Arizona in Creative Writing. I offer a safe, inclusive and culturally respectful space for any individual seeking growth and healing.
My style is collaborative. We work together to both identify your goals and decide on the right therapeutic approach to help you achieve the goals. I am highly creative and open-minded while also grounded in the latest research and evidenced-based practices. I specialize in trauma and offer EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) – a highly effective form of trauma treatment – as one of several approaches I may suggest. I have trained in IFS (Internal Family Systems) which I frequently weave into all my work. It’s a gentle, effective and very compassionate way to work with parts of ourselves. I often incorporate mindfulness, guiding you into the present moment more deeply to acknowledge and care for what is happening in your experience. I would describe myself as an experiential, depth-oriented and relational therapist.
I strive to create a safe, inclusive and culturally respectful space for any individual seeking growth and healing. Some of the populations I frequently work with are LGBTQIA, young adults, high-pressure working professionals, trauma survivors, those suffering from serious mental illness, and more.
At the core of my practice is safety and the therapeutic relationship. As you build trust in the therapeutic process and in yourself, you can begin to take bigger risks. In the first session, I am learning about you, what's important, what's at stake, what the obstacles are and where your strengths lie. We will begin to define therapeutic goals and carve a mutually collaborative path together in terms in terms of treatment modalities and frequency of sessions.
