Talkspace treatment methods are supported by scientific research and are committed to non-judgmental care that is inclusive and respectful of cultural and other identities. Talkspace patients are matched with the best provider for them based on their needs and availability during the registration process.

Biography: I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas with 15 years experience helping people dealing with a variety of personal issues. I am a graduate of Abilene Christian University and the University of Texas at Austin. Prior to earning my LCSW license, I worked for 25 years teaching parents how to cope with the transitions of life due to childbearing and parenting.
