Do you think nobody understands you, even your family and friends? You feel stuck in a repeated pattern of relationships. You may constantly try to prove your worth to others. I’m a licensed clinician in TX and VA. I have worked in the mental health field over 10 years. My professional interests are relationship trauma (romantic/ social/ family), life transitions, self-criticism, and identity issues. Using a holistic and intuitive approach, I can help you to bring more awareness to your childhood experiences, family origin, unconscious feelings and your current self. No matter what culture you are from, I'd love to hear your story.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to take that first step in beginning to understand your story. Let me help you take that first step in discovering who you are. In life, we are faced with many challenges that impact all areas of our lives and those challenges can leave us at a loss in knowing how to navigate the next step. Whether the next step is for yourself, your marriage, or your family, you do not have to walk it alone.

Feeling like you could use a bit of support? I'm glad you're here. Nurturing your mental health is key in promoting overall growth.

Have you tried everything to understand or fix a problem, but it just keeps showing up? I believe complicated problems require complex understanding. I aim to help every client gain greater insight into themselves and the dynamics at play in their life, relationships, and experience. Insight alone can have a powerful and significant impact on progress and is at the heart of my work. However, lasting change often also requires learning and trying new ways of interacting with the world. I offer information, suggestions, and encouragement to assist you in feeling, thinking, and, ultimately, living better.

Everyone is faced with obstacles at some point in their lives. Sometimes these challenges bring up different emotions or you feel “stuck” and you find yourself having a difficult time processing them. They may even be affecting your work/school, relationship, family, or day-to-day activities. I provide a safe space to work through these challenges. I believe therapy is a collaborative effort where we work together to navigate through difficult emotions, patterns and behaviors that may be contributing to problems, and any obstacles in the way of change for the better.

Although life can get messy, we can practice owning our story and loving ourselves through that process.Great therapy transforms your relationships, your confidence at and your perspective on life. AT PHC we have dedicated our life’s work to helping people like you connect with your authentic self and integrate lasting healing and change!

I am passionate about breaking the stigma of vulnerability and reframing it as a sign of strength. Therefore, I invite my clients to take a step closer to becoming more comfortable with vulnerability. I understand that, while the past has shaped all of us and helps to explain who each person is today, I believes that each person still has the power to choose how their past experiences can help them thrive in the present and the future, and I am committed to helping my clients do just that. I also help clients build a more secure relationship with themself in order to connect with others in a more purposeful manner.
