About Me

Hi, I’m Hope!

I received my Masters in Social Work from the University of Houston in 2021 and have been working in the mental health field ever since. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with a heart for meeting individuals right where they are at with grace and compassion. I strive to make the counseling environment a safe space for individuals of all walks of life and am committed to a strengths-based, client centered, and collaborative approach.

I am trauma-informed and draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities including, but not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also enjoy utilizing mindfulness and self-compassion, techniques.

I have experience working with individuals of various ages and cultural backgrounds. I currently work with ages 18+. I am LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent affirming, and welcome those of all faiths and spiritual backgrounds. I strive to approach the therapeutic relationship with humility and curiosity.

My areas of interest include: Relational issues, identity formation, family dynamics, LGBTQIA+ support, feminist issues and issues of faith and spirituality. I am skilled in treating Anxiety and Panic Disorders, and Mood Disorders such as Major Depressive Disorder and Bipolar II Disorder. I also enjoy supporting those diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder.

Outside of the therapy room I enjoy taking long walks in my neighborhood, snuggling my kitties, doing arts and crafts, drinking lots of coffee and connecting with my community.

I am excited to meet you and come alongside you in your journey towards healing and growth. Therapy is hard work but I am a big believer in also making it fun and empowering; both tears and laughter have a place in the therapy room.

Please reach out if you think we would be a good match!
