What should a new client know about working with you?
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Texas. For over 20 combined years working in children and family home-based services and therapeutic care, I have been privileged to work alongside individuals and families in approaching life’s challenges and understanding their “why”. With intentional effort and hard work, I have watched individuals evolve into a new freedom while learning resiliency from intense struggle. As a therapist, nothing can be as rewarding as sitting with people you serve to create real change, evolving into individuals they thought they could never become. Based on these experiences in the field over the years, I have developed a core belief that any individual can succeed if given an opportunity with unconditional support. In the same manner, I look forward to joining you in your journey as I create a safe space and provide an unconditional positive regard for you in your process. In delivering therapeutic care and essential support to individuals, families, groups, and low-income populations, I am enthusiastic about the potential opportunity to contribute to your life’s story – a story that one day will end in victory.
In my most recent role as a Fellow at a local Psychiatry and Behavioral Health Care Clinic, I participated in extensive training in several evidence-based therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for youth and families, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy; along with more structured therapies such as Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure Therapy for trauma victims. I have honed my skills in providing compassionate, tailored care to individuals, families, and groups who have been challenged with posttraumatic stress and other forms of trauma, along with anxiety, depression, interpersonal and family conflict, involvement with the criminal justice system, as well as employment and spiritual challenges.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
