About

I am originally from WA and a U.S. Army veteran. I have become a licensed clinical social worker or LCSW in Texas with six years of working in the mental health field. I have been a social worker going on five years. I am also licensed in Washington, Iowa & South Dakota as a clinical social worker in private practice. My goal is trying to bring mental health services to more communities. I am a huge advocate for spending time outside and learning self-care. This can be something as simple as sitting on the porch watching the sun set. My bachelor's degree is in health. I have my 1st master's degree in criminal justice, the 2nd master's degree in social work, and my 3rd master's degree is in public administration. I have experience in helping with stress, ADHD, anxiety, trauma, depression, women's concerns, etc. Life can be prickly like a cactus, sometimes we need help to navigate this. Therapy can be your refuge. I want to hear every detail of your experience; listen carefully without judgement and provide supportive resources. I have proven methods, tools, and resources to help you alleviate the issues that make life with feel overwhelming. Let’s make a plan that will give you the skills, perspective to be successful. Specialties: I have experience in helping clients with stress, ADHD, anxiety, trauma, military community, depression, women's concerns, coping with life & many other concerns. During the first session it will be a high-level overview to see what is going on. I will ask questions to get to know your situation well. Credentials & Experience: I was an LMSW for just about three years working as a medical social worker. I recently upgraded to LCSW in Sept 2024. I'm licensed in as an independent clinical social worker in private practice for WA TX, SD & IA.

"I like using a combination of methods because no person's situation is cookie cutter. In one session I may use mindfulness, CBT, gratitude thought, outdoor, then journaling."
