I utilize components of CBT, motivational interviewing, strengths based, mindfulness, and faith perspectives in my work. I enjoy helping clients develop a sense of self efficacy and meaning in their lives and the change is remarkable to behold.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have been working in the social work field for 14  years. I graduated from Smith College School of Social Work in Northampton, MA and have an undergraduate in Psychology and Communications from Southwestern University in Georgetown, TX. I have specialized in working in adult dual diagnosis settings predominantly with major mental illness and substance use doing individual and group therapy. Much of my work has been with women who have experienced relationship trauma through education and support. I have a family and am a former foster parent so I enjoy incorporating different parenting techniques, such as TBRI, and supporting the overall family system.  When I am with my family we often enjoy the great outdoors with our dog.
