Qualifications

I am licensed in the state of Texas as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with privileges as a supervisor. I am also a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Boston University. I also hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Dependency Counseling and an Associate of Science degree in Addiction Studies. I have been practicing counseling/therapy since 2013 in a variety of contexts. I have conducted hundreds of family workshops, authored several books, host a podcast for family members of anyone with any addiction, and presented trainings to fellow professionals on the local, state, and national levels.

 

Modalities

I work with clients through a customized mix of many types of therapy, especially focusing on Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy [IFS], and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy [EMDR]. I also use Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Sensory Healing therapies when they seem like a good fit. I strive to find the best way to help each client, focusing on what works best for them more than any set theory.

I currently only see clients through telehealth. I have found this to be very effective therapeutically, and it allows my clients to be seen in an environment of their choosing without the need for travel. I recommend establishing a safe, comfortable place in which to do therapy.
