Great to meet you!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with the state of Texas. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Behavioral Science from the University of Houston - Clear Lake and my Masters degree in Social Work from Baylor University. My professional experience in mental health has been working with adolescents (teens) and young adults (12yr. - late 20's) in residential, inpatient, and outpatient settings. I currently am a student support/crisis counselor for a school district where I work with students, their families, and/or school staff and administration to identify the most appropriate supports for a student's academic and mental health needs. It is because of the work I have done with teens that my practice focuses on helping teens/young adults and their families (when appropriate) navigate the complexities of their interpersonal relationship with each other and the world around them. I have experience in working with individuals who struggle with complex trauma and mental health issues, suicidality, high risk behaviors (e.g. self-harm, running away/elopement, sexual promiscuity, etc.) and oppositional/defiant behaviors.
In my spare time I love to hangout with family, friends and my animals. I also love dancing, cooking/eating, listening to or watching true crime documentaries/podcasts, working out, and just recently took up Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
