Hi, I’m so glad you’re here. Reaching out for support can be hard and I want you to know that you don’t have to have it all figured out before you begin. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, burnout, or feeling like you’re carrying more than your share this space is for you. I help clients get to the root of their struggles and spot the patterns that keep them stuck. In our work together, you’ll learn practical ways to understand your feelings and build lasting coping skills. All are welcome here it’s a safe, judgment-free space to explore, heal, and grow.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over eight years of experience providing therapy in both English and Spanish. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, specializing in trauma, stress, and depression.
I strive to create a warm, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your needs, helping you build insight, develop coping skills, and move toward meaningful change.
Whether you’re navigating a difficult time or working through past experiences, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
When life feels overwhelming, it's easy to lose sight of yourself while trying to keep everything else together. Anxiety, depression, family conflict, grief, or difficult life experiences can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. You don't have to keep carrying those burdens alone. I work alongside individuals experiencing anxiety, family issues, stress management, grief and loss, and relationship issues so they can build healthier relationships, regain emotional balance, and reconnect with the life they want to live. Working with adolescents, adults, and seniors, I strive to create a compassionate, supportive environment where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and empowered to create meaningful, lasting change.
I believe therapy should feel like a conversation, not an interrogation. My role isn’t to tell you what to do—it’s to walk alongside you, helping you better understand yourself, work through life’s challenges, and build the confidence and skills to move forward. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered Therapy, and strengths-based techniques, but I also believe the most important part of therapy is the relationship we build together.
Every person is different, so I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs. With younger children, that may look like play-based therapy. With teens and adults, it often feels like a comfortable conversation where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. My goal is for every client to leave feeling heard, supported, and equipped with practical tools they can use in everyday life.
Blest be the life that finds joy in the journey...
Getting here was the first step—now let's focus on where you want to go.

Ms. Johnson graduated from the University of Texas- Arlington school of social work with an MSSW degree in 2004. Her work experience entails working in medical social work working in primary care, women's health, substance use, and the homeless population. Working with chronic illness is difficult because you see the obvious decline in your clients. My goal is to provide support and coping strategies for patients with chronic illness. Ms. Johnson has 18 years, of experience working in medical social work with the goal of improving clients optimal health by providing support with all primary care, mental health, and physical health needs. Above all she enjoys mentoring new clinicians and is a board approved clinical supervisor in the state of Mississippi.
As both a mental health and addiction professional, I bring a compassionate and holistic perspective to my work with clients. I understand that each person’s experiences are unique, and I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable exploring challenges, building on their strengths, and working toward meaningful change.
My educational background reflects my commitment to understanding the connection between mental health, trauma, and overall well-being. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Health Promotion with a minor in Psychology from Colorado State University–Pueblo, followed by a Master of Social Work with a concentration in Mental Health and Trauma from the University of Denver.
