If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, depression, life stress, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions, therapy can help. I have been working in our community for 14 years, and work with children, adolescents, and adults, including athletes, students, and individuals with autism, using evidence-based treatments tailored to each person's goals. My approach is eclectic with elements of CBT, ACT, dynamic approaches and humanistic methods, combining science with genuine human connection to build resilience, psychological flexibility, confidence, stronger relationships, and meaningful, lasting change.
I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from SMU, studied at Yale and completed my pre doctoral Fellowship at Yale School of Medicine. I completed postdoctoral training at UT Southwestern and Children's Medical Center Dallas. I serve as Adjunct Research Faculty at Yale and have been featured in Mashable, Yahoo!, Parents, and Parade among other outlets.
Whether you need a short-term boost or longer-term support, I provide personalized, evidence-based therapy for anxiety, trauma, mood concerns, stress, and performance. Together we'll build practical skills that help you thrive long after therapy ends. In-person and telehealth appointments are available throughout Texas.

I am a trauma-informed psychologist who utilizes an eclectic approach, using techniques found in ACT, CBT, DBT, dynamic and solution- focused based therapies. I believe that context is crucial, and craft each treatment plan to meet a patient's unique needs.
