I invite you to imagine having a person and a space where you are met with a bottomless reserve of patience... when you work with me, you are not pressured into a certain deadline. Just like your doctor or dentist, I become part of your care team for as long as I am helpful to you. You can take as long or as little as you like and I will hold space for you carefully and patiently as we establish trust and familiarity. I specialize in anxiety disorders, and I also hold a special place for the LGBTQ community, the autistic community, artists, nerd culture, and young adults, though my door is wide open to all walks of life.

I graduated from the University of Texas in 2018 with my Master of Social Work degree. I discovered I had a passion for helping people at a young age and felt it was my calling to become a social worker. I have worked with a broad range of people, from infants to the geriatric population. I have worked in both small and large communities and integrated these experiences to enhance a balanced overview. I have extensive experience working with different family systems, aging, grief, children, and couples throughout my career. I have learned that each individual I have had the privilege of working with has taught me something special.
