Welcome to my profile! Let me share a little about myself. I own a telehealth practice in TX, Pragmatic Solutions Therapy PLLC.

Are you feeling under pressure, overwhelmed, and as though you are not enough? By utilizing the humanistic, existential, and solution-focused approaches, I can help you feel less pressured and overwhelmed by viewing you as a whole person, encouraging you to remain true to yourself (humanistic), helping you increase your self-awareness, accept responsibility, and know that you are enough so you can live a more authentic life (existential) while focusing on finding solutions for issues in the here and now (solution-focused). Whether you are an adult seeking assistance for yourself or family, or a child/adolescent, I am here to help.

Hello and thank you for taking a moment to read my profile! I know how intimidating it can be to open up to a someone, but I hope to put your mind at ease. Overall, my counseling style is rooted in empathy. I strive to create a supportive environment where you feel heard and understood as you navigate through life. I'd like to help you challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and draw on your strengths, building confidence and self-awareness along the way. I draw from my experience in psychology and exercise science to understand you as a human, not as a diagnosis.

I specialize in working with clients navigating anxiety, perfectionism and OCD or OCD-related experiences. Many of my clients outwardly appear to have it all figured out, but internally the dialogue looks different. Thoughts like, "I'm not feeling like myself" might feel central. My passion in this work is to support you in finding whatever it is you are seeking, greater insight, some ways to do it different or maybe something else to be discovered. I believe in therapeutic work that supports not only with insight, but also skills work to assist you in making lasting and sustainable change in alignment with your needs and wants.

I have a heart for busy, overworked professionals quietly battling anxiety, depression, PTSD, and/or relationship challenges. I am a great fit for those mid-lifers out there, suddenly in the throes of identity confusion, caretaking aging parents, grief and change, and other existential concerns. I can help anyone needing to slow down and be mindful (not judgmental) of barriers to life satisfaction.

Sometimes it can seem like we spend so much of our days trying to please others and meeting their expectations that we have lost WHO WE ARE as individuals. Do we even like what we are doing? Feeling stuck in a ‘rut of life’ without much true meaning or passion? Finding that you are using alcohol or even drugs to cope with your life? Tired of the fake and need some AUTHENTICITY and COURAGE to just be you…to be heard…to be seen? Are you ready to discover your true self? There is HOPE! I have a passion for helping clients find their own strengths to live wholeheartedly and enjoy the journey of life!

Congratulations on taking A.C.T.I.O.N.—your first step in (Addressing Conflict To Increase Optimal Navigation) of your life. I know that obstacles in life can sometimes be discouraging, overwhelming, or even keep you feeling stuck. But with the right therapeutic relationship, we can get life moving in the right direction again. With more than 25 years’ experience in the counseling and helping fields, I have worked with clients of all ages with diverse needs. My experience spans moods disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, family issues, as well as individualized approaches for the next step in life.

My passion is working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples. My goal is to foster a safe environment for all my clients to explore feelings and emotions that have been creating distress. With younger children, I understand that it may be harder to communicate their feelings with words and play therapy can be used to more effectively explore their thoughts. My hope is to create a therapeutic relationship to guide the client toward positive coping skills and start leading more enriching lives. I believe that each client has the ability and the capacity within themselves to become empowered and thrive.

I believe that every individual has their own unique life journey and the capacity for growth and healing. As we explore the complexities of your experience I will work with you to create a space that allows you to feel safe, supported, and validated. I work from a trauma-informed lens and believe in the power of compassion when it comes to healing. I am passionate about providing affirming mental healthcare to individuals who experience (or are curious to know more about) the following identities: Autistic, ADHD, Transgender, Gender Expansive, Queer, and/or Disabled.
