The ideal therapy client is someone who seeks personal growth and emotional well-being. They may be experiencing difficulties such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or low self-esteem. They have a genuine desire for change and are open to exploring their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. They value a supportive and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship. Their goals include developing coping skills, improving self-awareness, fostering resilience, and achieving a greater sense of fulfillment and balance in life.
I bring an extensive clinical background that includes inpatient psychiatric care and clinical practice focused on people of color and the LGBTQ+ population. Additionally, I hold specialties in substance abuse and domestic violence. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of Texas and Nevada. I am a two-time alumnus of both LSU and USC.
Congratulations on taking the first steps toward meaningful change in your situation. I know that it was difficult, but I will do my best to help you make your first step your best step. I am looking forward to being your partner in maintaining good mental health .
