I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC). I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Texas at Dallas and a master’s degree in social work from the University of Texas at Arlington. I am a neurodivergent individual and the parent of neurodivergent children. I use a neurodiversity- affirming approach. As a neurodivergent individual, I am passionate about working with other neurodivergent individuals of all ages and identities from a neurodiversity-affirming approach. I am especially passionate about working with autistic individuals, ADHDers, AuDHDers, and individuals with mood disorders (Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Disruptive Mood Deregulation Disorder). As a parent to neurodivergent children, I also understand some of the unique support needs of parenting a neurodivergent child. I don’t believe in a “one size fits all” therapy approach. Therefore, I use an integrative and eclectic therapy approach which includes techniques and strategies from a variety of modalities and theories, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), AutPlay, play therapy techniques, and expressive therapy (art, games, etc.) to name a few. I will tailor your therapy to target your specific areas of need and desired areas of growth.
