I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and hold a Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington. I completed extensive clinical experience and supervision before taking the Texas State Board Clinical examination. To maintain my license, I am obligated to adhere to a strict code of ethics and also complete many hours of Continuing Education yearly to keep up to date with proven effective clinical interventions and research in the field of mental health.
I am a Certified Anger Resolution Therapist (CART) and offer Anger Management Counseling for Adults and Adolescents to meet court or school requirements.
Since 2006 I have worked at an acute care in-patient psychiatric hospital and an out-patient clinic. I have provided group, individual and family therapy to children, adolescents, adults and seniors, both in-patient and out-patient. I have lived in Arlington for over 30 years and spent many years as a community volunteer before entering the counseling field. I have been married 31 years and have two adult children.
My treatment approach is designed to provide support and practical feedback to help you resolve current issues as well as long standing unhealthy patterns. Together we can find solutions to life challenges and psychological issues by building on your strengths and goals.
I have special and first hand knowledge to counsel Airline Crew members. Call for details.
Although I do not advertise as an exclusively Christian Counselor, I am a Christian and will integrate Christian principles and a Biblical perspective, in our work together. If this is your preference, it is my privilege.
