There's Instagram motherhood... and then there's reality. When people ask how you're doing, do you choke back the pain and force a smile? Pretend like everything is great when it's not? Maybe you're actually feeling depressed, anxious, or irritable. Or you're having scary and intrusive thoughts. Maybe you've had a traumatic birth, are having difficulty adjusting to parenthood or bonding with your baby, or are experiencing loss and grief.

Are you ready for therapy? If you're frustrated, feeling alone in the struggle and interested in understanding more about the patterns that have kept you (and your relationship) stuck, it’s time. Therapy with me will help you get started on the path to making real, lasting changes.

There are many reasons people come to therapy. We all have an innate need to belong, be supported, and understood. I place a strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship and provide a safe space for clients to move forward. This emotional space for clients allows them to examine their personal experiences in a confidential and nurturing environment. While building a unique relationship clients can explore their personal feelings and emotions, habits, insecurities, beliefs and perceptions with curiosity rather than judgment and ultimately become the best version of themselves.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Board Approved Supervisor based in Houston, Texas. I am also licensed in the state of Virginia. I provide Telehealth/virtual sessions for Virginia residents. It is my desire to provide a safe environment where individuals are able to grow through the process of counseling.

Do others look at you and think you “have it all together”? You appear successful on the outside (and you have so much to be proud of), but inside you feel anxious, critical of yourself, & overwhelmed. You’re constantly questioning yourself: Am I good enough? Did I do it right? Did I say that wrong? You may look back on your life and notice experiences from your past that have made it difficult to feel confident in everything you have to offer. It feels like you live in worst-case-scenario mode at all times, and while you want so badly to feel less stressed & more secure in yourself, you haven’t been able to change this on your own.

Have you or your child experienced something terrifying? Or perhaps there's not one harrowing memory that stands out, but a lifetime of painful experiences. Other times, children, teens, and adults may struggle with anxiety or worries that they can't trace back to any particular event. My practice offers a haven when life feels out of control and provides support for adults and children to heal from anxiety and trauma. I see Houston-based clients in person and via telehealth, and am credentialed through PSYPACT to provide telehealth to clients in 20+ other states.
