Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Colleyville, TX
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over two decades of experience, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life's challenges. Since establishing my practice in 2004, I have provided counseling services grounded in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practices. My background includes 13 years with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, where I held supervisory and program director roles, and I have maintained a private practice serving the Dallas/Fort Worth metro area. I hold a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington and a Bachelor of Science in Social Work from Texas Christian University. As an adjunct professor at TCU since 2004, I teach courses on child welfare and mental health, ensuring my practice remains informed by the latest developments in the field.My approach combines solution-focused and cognitive-behavioral therapies to address depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. I specialize in custody evaluations, adoption studies, and pre-marital counseling, with a commitment to providing accessible care through acceptance of major medical insurance plans. My practice emphasizes confidentiality, personalized treatment plans, and practical strategies for overcoming obstacles. I have completed over 3,000 hours of direct counseling and maintain active memberships in professional organizations like the National Association of Christian Social Workers. My goal is to empower clients to achieve lasting positive change through a supportive, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship.
