Taking the first step can be the most difficult and intimidating part. The good news is you are recognizing and being mindful of your own experience and what you might need. A step towards taking care of yourself in a healthy and meaningful way is a great one. Therapy can be a safe space to grow in self-awareness, gain insight into the meaning behind your feelings and experiences, and become more open to creating long lasting, sustainable change. I consider it an honor and a privilege to be let in to your personal story.

Are you suffering from crippling depression or anxiety? Are you going through a major life transition like changing careers, divorce, or other loss? Maybe you're battling habitual patterns that keep getting in your way no matter how many times you've tried to change things on your own. We believe that therapy can provide you with the means to face the hardest of life's challenges. Having a space to be heard and learning to better understand your problems can be the key that helps you to move forward. It provides a new perspective, as well as tools to better manage problems well after therapy is complete.

Hello! I have been practicing in Texas for 11 years and have a background in health and psychology, having formally trained at Yale, UT Southwestern and SMU. I have extensive treatment experience with anxiety, mood issues, trauma, adjusting to medical illness, sports psychology, autism, child behavior (though I work with an equal number of youth and adults) and life stress!

We will work together to help you, or your loved one, meet whatever challenges bring you in!

I am extremely passionate about guiding people to a better understanding of themselves and "why we do the things that we do". Our perspective dictates our emotional reactions to situations and therefore it affects our behavior; let me help you gain control of your reactions and change your thoughts! I am especially skilled with Depression/Anxiety, PTSD, substance abuse/addiction, sports psychology, relationships/communication, childhood issues, improving self-esteem, grief/loss, identity development and issues related to the child-to-adult transition. Please see my website and blog for more information.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience working with individual adults going through or contemplating divorce, as well as those going through higher education. I am passionate about working with adults who find themselves at a different point in life than they thought they would be. I also enjoy working with athletes, former athletes, or fitness minded people who are struggling to perform or need help transitioning to a healthy life without sports. Identity can easily get wrapped up in what we do in our day to day lives.

Change is the only constant in life, but that doesn't necessarily mean it is easy! Pain is an indicator that something isn't working and it is time for change. Like most things worthwhile, change requires hard work. Guiding you through the process of change is my lifework. Whatever your struggle, I'm here to work through it with you --you are not alone! If you want to change your life, change your mind.
