Many of the clients I work with feel stuck in repeating relationship patterns, question their value in relationships, or find themselves prioritizing others while losing connection with their own needs and voice, often leading to isolation and poor coping. Often, people who seek out therapy are motivated for change but need a space to better understand themselves and their experiences. I primarily work with women navigating challenges such as anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, life transitions, boundaries, and self-worth. Therapy is not about “fixing” you — it's about understanding yourself more deeply, in a meaningful way.
My approach is relational, attachment focused and collaborative. Together we explore how your individual past experiences may still be shaping your present relationships, helping you develop greater self-awareness and emotional clarity. I integrate a Psychodynamic approach to therapy using elements of IFS, CBT, Person Centered Therapy and Narrative Therapy.
Therapy is always tailored to your unique needs and goals. My hope for you is that you feel more connected to yourself and others. My practice is fully remote via Telehealth, and I am licensed in both Texas and Colorado. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation and look forward to chatting with you.

Some core areas I work with women is in healing self esteem/worth and relationship patterns. Good therapy consists of increasing self awareness, focuses on resiliency and building up self-worth while addressing core, impactful issues so there is meaningful, lasting change. Clients often report improvement within the first month.
