Message to clients
With over 22 years of clinical social work experience, I bring a deep understanding of trauma, resilience, and healing to every session. My work has spanned military communities, refugee resettlement, homelessness, and medical social work—giving me a broad and compassionate lens through which I support my clients. I don’t just treat symptoms; I honor your full story and tailor care to your unique background, values, and goals. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas (LCSW) and Ohio (LISW-S), certified in both the Department of Defense Credentialing Program for Prevention Personnel (D-CPPP) and the DoD Sexual Assault Advocate Certification Program (D-SAACP). I’m also a certified iRest® meditation teacher. iRest is an evidence-based practice shown through research to improve overall well-being, reduce stress, and support emotional regulation—making it a powerful complement to traditional therapy. My approach is grounded in proven methods and shaped by years of leadership and direct care. I offer flexible telehealth sessions designed to meet you where you are—emotionally and logistically. Whether you're navigating trauma, life transitions, or simply seeking greater clarity and peace, I provide a safe, supportive space to help you move forward with confidence. If you're looking for a therapist who listens deeply, adapts thoughtfully, and walks beside you with respect and care, I’d be honored to support your journey.
