Biography

My approach is warm, supportive, and non-judgmental. I integrate evidence-based strategies, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy, tailoring my approach to each patient's unique needs and preferences. I have a particular interest in supporting adults navigating depression, anxiety, stress, health concerns, grief/loss, and caregiver challenges.

I begin by building rapport and creating a comfortable, safe environment. I gather information about presenting concerns, mental health history, psychosocial background, and available supports. Treatment planning is collaborative, ensuring goals align with patients' strengths and priorities for meaningful, sustainable progress.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida, California, and New York. I earned both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Florida State University and bring over 20 years of social work experience, including extensive work in medical social work and hospice care.

My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from multiple modalities to tailor treatment plans that best meet the unique needs of each individual. I am known for my empathetic listening skills and my ability to build strong therapeutic alliances with my clients.

I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from New York University, where I developed a strong foundation in psychological theories and practices. I went on to complete my Master's degree in Social Work at Yeshiva University, gaining advanced knowledge and hands-on experience in therapeutic techniques. My experience working as a group and individual counselor at a private substance abuse outpatient treatment center in Manhattan provided me with invaluable knowledge and insight into helping individuals struggling with substance use disorder, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues, among others.

Outside of my professional work, I am dedicated to continuous learning and personal growth. I regularly attend workshops and conferences to stay abreast of the latest advancements in mental health therapy. I also believe in the importance of self-care and encourage my clients to engage in practices that promote overall well-being.

I have a passion for helping individuals take the necessary steps forward in their personal development. In session, I like to create a judgment-free zone in order to establish a safe environment in which clients can share their concerns. My approach encompasses using the skills that an individual naturally has to develop goals and solutions for their personal growth. This approach comes from having years of experience providing drug prevention education for at-risk youth and their families in Lubbock County.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified Prevention Specialist. I hold a Master's Degree in Counselor Education from Texas Tech University and a Bachelor of Arts from Lubbock Christian University. After receiving my Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling at Texas Tech University, I began working on my doctorate at Texas Tech University in Counselor Education.

I also enjoy working with foster youth at the Texas Girls and Boys Ranch.

In addition to my career and academic pursuits, I serve the community of Lubbock, Texas. I am currently the chairman for the HEARD Coalition, which is an organization that provides drug education and resources for youth and families in Lubbock County.

My approach is centered around the individual. My goal is to help people embrace their authentic self. I believe that counseling and the therapeutic process is experiential. I have been through most of the life struggles we all have been through.

I will help you find the best solutions to the answers you have.

I have also written several books; the latest of which, "Be an Anomaly," is about the autism spectrum. Beyond my passion for helping others, I am passionate about my family, drawing, music, and basketball.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who arrives with a robust set of backgrounds across several fields of interest, with immersion among numerous cultures and diverse ways of life. I have worked in multiple capacities in a variety of settings around the U.S., ranging from correctional to educational to inner-city community-based to corporate.

With an eye on what influences the ever-present connections between body and mind and emotional states, I work well with those struggling with mood disorders, depression, a range of anxiety disorders, relationship problems, esteem issues, adjustment concerns, emotional dysregulation, and more. While I am psychodynamically oriented, I blend attachment theory application, mindfulness, selections from CBT and DBT modalities, or other treatment mechanisms tailored to meet each client's needs and complement any assigned psychopharmacological undertaking.

Considering it an honor to join someone on their journey, I take a direct yet compassionate approach so as to establish a comfortable co-owned therapeutic relationship. Ultimately, I strive to help clients gain a more comprehensive understanding of how they can move themselves forward and collaboratively develop the readiness to step towards it. When goals have been met and it's time to finally part ways, I hope each client's tool belt is fortified with newly acquired techniques to overcome the inevitable obstacles on the road ahead.

My style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, including our country's service men and women. My approach combines an eclectic style of cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing techniques, and schema therapy techniques. I will tailor sessions to meet your unique and specific needs. Humor and deep insights are not incongruent to my practice or off limits! I am invested in a healthcare experience that addresses you wholistically. If you have daily hassles, life transitions, or chronic/acute health conditions that are becoming overwhelming, you are in the right place. I am interested in functional therapy that permits you to move forward. Where relevant, I can gently integrate psychospiritual issues regardless of religious background.

I am dually licensed as both a Family Therapist and Genetic Counselor with a combined 14 years of professional work experience.

My process begins with your first step to get help. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life, and I will support and empower that desire. I work collaboratively with your healthcare team and address your questions and needs directly. I can work on the specific challenge or need you may have and brainstorm your best starting place. While I cannot live your life or make your decisions, I can be responsive to your needs and provide the anticipatory guidance that can transform your internal dialogue or open the door that mends family divisions.
