I am a seasoned therapist who has over 15 years of clinical experience working with individuals across a broad cultural spectrum. I have a special interest in treating anxiety-related disorders such as stress, generalized anxiety, social anxiety and trauma, but I also address symptoms of depression that often coexist with anxiety. I am experienced in addressing issues that may arise during life transitions, such as parenting, going to college, divorce, empty nest, aging and grief.

Feeling lost, overwhelmed and as if you can't find the real you? If you find yourself stuck in the midst of change and don't know how to move forward, I can help. I work respectfully and collaboratively with clients to address their concerns and goals. My style is developmental, supportive and direct. I enjoy working with both individuals and couples who are new to therapy process as well as those who want to add to their ongoing self-discovery and growth.

Are you stressed? Worried? Sad most of the time? Dissatisfied with your life the way it is? Feeling hopeless to change your life the way it is? You are not alone and there is hope for you. If you would like to create a life worth living and even the life you dreamed of having, therapy is one place that can make that happen. I believe we all have the potential to change with the right person to listen and guide us.

I believe that therapy is a tool of self-examination that helps individuals navigate difficult life experiences and know themselves more deeply. It often takes painful experiences or emotions for someone to seek therapy, and I enjoy helping people find new pathways through which to experience a more fulfilling life. I most often work with people navigating depression, anxiety, perinatal and postpartum depression and/or anxiety, or general life stressors (such as relationship issues or a new job).

Have you or your child experienced something terrifying? Or perhaps there's not one harrowing memory that stands out, but a lifetime of painful experiences. Other times, children, teens, and adults may struggle with anxiety or worries that they can't trace back to any particular event. My practice offers a haven when life feels out of control and provides support for adults and children to heal from anxiety and trauma. I see Houston-based clients in person and via telehealth, and am credentialed through PSYPACT to provide telehealth to clients in 20+ other states.

You have come this far. Sometimes we find ourselves feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and sad with the way we've been living life. I provide support for my clients who want transformation in their anxieties, relationships, traumas and personal life. We explore who we are and how relationships, conflicts or insecurities effect our well being. I utilize EMDR, DBT, and CBT modalities with my clients to work through challenges. I invite you to embrace courage and bravery to find solutions to your concerns. "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves” - Victor Frankl.

Life feels like a constant game of catch-up, leaving you feeling drained and overwhelmed. You're often running late, forgetting important things, and struggling to keep up with your to-do list. People may think you're doing okay because you hide how you feel, but inside, you feel like you're falling apart. You feel consumed by worry, anxiety, and your fear of messing up and failing. You long to feel normal and in control of your life. You want to wake up refreshed and enjoy your life. You need a break from the noise in your head and a chance to catch your breath. I get it, and I can help you find joy and balance in your life.

I am a licensed psychologist practicing in the Dallas area. I am also able to provide virtual appointments across the state of Texas. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy services to older adolescents and adults. My areas of expertise include body image and eating disorders, anxiety disorders, identity issues, and issues pertaining to loss and grief. I also treat depression, stress management, trauma, relationship problems, and adjustment issues. I've worked with clients who struggle with anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder at all levels of care, ranging from outpatient to inpatient settings.

***Teletherapy***Phone/Video Sessions and Messaging Plans Available*** I am currently accepting new clients across the state of Texas for teletherapy. As a therapist my goal is to join you on your journey, provide support, offer tools, and empower you to meet your goals. My style is non-judgmental and exploratory. I will be direct and honest with you, challenge you when necessary, and always strive to bring out your greatest potential.

Are you feeling like life could be more fulfilling, but fear, worry, and sadness seem to be holding you back? You've been on a journey, trying to find peace and happiness independently, and you've carried the weight of your emotions in silence for far too long. You're an empathetic person, deeply connected to your relationships, but sometimes, the emotional toll can feel overwhelming. You've considered seeking professional help, but doubts have held you back. Will your therapist truly understand your unique experiences, your culture, your background, and your upbringing?

I believe in treating and facilitating the individual's psychological and emotional transformation through an integrative therapeutic approach. We all yearn for love, acceptance and the capacity to reach our utmost potential! I believe in treating the 'whole person,' as I help guide my clients towards reaching their therapeutic goals through a newfound self-awareness and confidence. With healthier actions and reactions we can move forward in life as more productive, thoughtful and self-aware beings. I believe that therapy connects us more to our authentic selves, and that you can grow, with you, in a newfound space of acceptance.

You can visualize your ideal self, yet anxiety, trauma, and negative habits are holding you back. I have been there and I understand the struggle, but your actions and thoughts are all behavior and they can be changed. With my unique approach as a behavior analyst and trauma-informed coach, we can collaboratively devise a tailored plan for meaningful change. While traditional talk therapy has its merits, I'm not a therapist—I am a behavioral scientist and coach. If you've hit a plateau in your self-help journey or feel stuck in your current behaviors, let's explore a more structured, action-based path to healing and growth.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life could be a bit easier and not so hard? Or if you could feel better? Happier? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, family, careers, health, and their day-to-day lives. Pushing away your needs and getting stuck in old patterns and behaviors, negative beliefs, and unresolved emotions can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. We believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life.

I am honored to have the opportunity to walk with you in your journey. Trusting others can be hard, and I am committed to cultivating a safe place where you can share your story. My goal is for you to feel empowered to explore and share your fears and joy. Every person has faced challenges, and and I hope to create a safe place for you to be fully seen and celebrated. As you navigate the terrain of your life, I look forward to providing you with a listening ear and self-advocacy tools and strategies. Together, we will pursue healing and help you discover the courage and resiliency you have to meet life's challenges.

Every one of us will experience crisis in our lifetime. These intense times of difficulty may be easy to name: relationship strife, a significant loss, or traumatic events. Other times you may be living with the gnawing sense that the life you’ve built doesn’t serve who you truly are. You may be experiencing anxiety and depression, unfulfilling relationships, or a resurfacing of unmet grief or trauma. No matter what distress has arrived at your door, it’s possible that you feel lost and confused and wonder what you can do. You’re not alone. I’ve been there, and so has almost everyone you know.

Are you feeling stuck in a place of overwhelm or uncertainty, detached or misunderstood? That something isn't quite right, but you're at a loss? Or are you a parent looking for help for your struggling child and want relief and support for your family? My focus is helping pre-teens, teens and young adults navigate the complex challenges, pressures and opportunities that they face during a critical period of development and life transitions. I provide a supportive and non-judgmental space to openly express and explore, and utilize methods that seek to empower, facilitate insight and achieve growth.

My biggest goal in therapy is to help clients feel equipped to take on each day to their best ability. Whether that means learning and practicing coping skills, using EMDR to re-process past trauma and reduce triggers, growing your confidence and self-esteem, or just allowing space to better understand your thoughts and emotions, I will be with you every step of the way to support you through your therapeutic journey. I am a firm believer that therapy has the ability to truly improve your quality of life and relationships with those around you, and I hope that you will allow me to be a part of your process.

I offer individual, couples, and family therapy formats for adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, or attachment trauma. **I am also trained in DBT and Self Compassion and offer 1:1 work.** Struggles we face in life can negatively influence our understanding of ourselves, others, and the world around us in ways that keep us stuck, afraid, and unhealthy. Processing these difficult experiences can allow us to break free from this influence and show up in the world in ways that align with our inherent goodness, enabling feelings of success and happiness. You deserve to feel these things and more!
