My background
I received my bachelor's degree in Criminology as well as my graduate degree in Social Work with a concentration in Mental Health and Substance Use from the University of Texas at Arlington.
I began my professional career working with individuals who experience various mental health and substance use related disorders with adults in a variety of settings and stages of care.
I have continued my career working with first responders and have a specific passion for working with those who experience job-related trauma exposure, know the dark realities of certain sides of life, and develop those unique skills of managing these on-the-job stresses. No fear, I am comfortable with gallows humor and understand the unique ways these individuals process stress.
I have also worked with victims of crime including sexual assault, domestic violence, and homicide, providing crisis intervention, support, information, and resources pertaining to the criminal justice element.
I have worked with adult offenders that committed various ranges of crimes in the mental health unit to collaborate with other agencies to best assist them.
My view on counseling
I am passionate about helping individuals overcome challenges they may be facing and finding their voice to advocate for themselves.
Many of us normalize our past life experiences and do not see the ripple effect these experiences can have on our bodies, our thoughts, our families, and our personal lives. I am here to help you process those challenges and support clients in moving toward a healthier future.
I believe in helping individuals grow by creating a safe place to learn coping mechanisms, to process past traumas and their present impact, and to develop skills to empower them to accomplish their future goals.
