"I believe everyone deserves mental happiness. I will work with you to obtain that happiness from the inside and out."

Hello! It's wonderful you are looking into next steps for your wellness! I welcome you, as you are, to work collaboratively with me towards meeting your goals. Whether you are looking to repair attachment or family of origin trauma, race based trauma, or heal from domestic and/or sexual violence I am here to support you every step of the way. I also welcome you to contact me if you are just looking for support for general life stressors, peer relationships, depression, anxiety, or to strengthen coping skills.

If you're here, welcome! You've taken a big step and are heading in a new direction! Do you ever feel a little crazy? Do you recognize things in life that aren’t working for you but every time you turn around you’re back at square one? When we try all the things but don't address the root issues, we end up doing the same thing over and over in different areas of life. If you're tired of fighting the same battles over and over again, whether that be with yourself, your partner, your goals, etc., and ready to start exploring what’s possible, feel free to reach out. I’d love to be a resource to help you get where you want to go.

I was born and raised in Austin, TX and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my Bachelor’s in Psychology from St. Edward’s University and completed my Master’s in Social Work with a focus in Advanced Clinical Social Work at Walden University. I have gained clinical experience in inpatient and outpatient settings during my 5 year tenure at Austin Oaks Hospital. I have experience working with clients ages 4 and up; treating suicidal ideation, psychosis, homicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, and trauma.

I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I believe it takes great courage to seek out help to take the first steps toward change, and I am here to support and empower you in that journey. If you are open to gaining new insights, learning new techniques to better manage the issues with which you currently struggle, and are willing to regularly practice at home what you learn in sessions, reach out to me to begin that process. You have what it takes to work through the hard things; you really can live the life you imagine.

I help adults and adolescents dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship and behavioral issues. Feeling comfortable with a therapist is one of the first and most important steps in the counseling process. I work to provide a safe space for individuals to explore and process their emotions.

I wear a lot of hats in life- I'm a bonus mom, partner, daughter, friend, colleague, woman. I'm a human. I know what it's like to feel shame, anger, sadness, fear, and pain. I also know happiness, love, safety, gratitude, and hope. I've had a lot of experiences- some beautiful, some not. I share this because it's important to know that while I've not been in your shoes, I've walked in shoes of my own. I know that we are all just doing the best we can at the time. My goal is facilitate a safe environment where people can explore who they are and where they've been, gain insight, and learn skills to live a happier and healthier life.

As a counselor my primary focus is helping individuals live healthier and happier lives. I work with adults and adolescents in individual, couples or family counseling. Young adults are of special interest to me, but I also greatly enjoy my work with all ages. I counsel from a solution-focused perspective that addresses the needs and goals of the client with the primary focus of enhancing their life. Issues including anger, ADHD, relationships, depression, anxiety, alcohol and drug use, grief and more can be addressed in counseling. For both client safety and convenience, I am currently only seeing clients via telehealth.

Are you looking for a therapist that can assist you to identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors? Are you dealing with the ups and downs of life? Are you looking to improve the quality of your overall wellbeing? I am here to partner with you in working through issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, anger, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties.

I embrace the unique story of each individual and use a person-centered, collaborative, and holistic approach to tailor the therapeutic process to your specific needs. We will work together to explore and understand your thoughts and feelings about yourself and the world. My goal is to create a safe space where we can build trust and you can feel supported to examine vulnerable thoughts and emotions.
