I align best with adult men and women seeking support to help with the management of mental health symptoms or challenges. I assist individuals who are self-motivated, open, and curious to explore the "why's" of your life that may keep you feeling "stuck", "lost", or not so great about the trajectory of your life or things. I am licensed to practice in the states of Texas and Colorado and I would be honored if you allowed me to walk alongside you as you walk your journey back to you. I also offer personal development consulting/coaching to adults not seeking therapy services. Simply Thrive and Be well.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults and provide a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate space for my clients. I view the therapeutic relationship as a vital component of successful therapy. Therefore, I ensure that the relationship is collaborative because I believe the client knows themselves best. I believe that advocacy is integral to the therapeutic relationship and advocate for my clients by identifying local resources to aid in achieving therapy goals.

We all do the best we can to cope, but sometimes our efforts throw us out of balance. I work with individuals who are feeling the impacts of these imbalances viscerally, either people who are analytically minded who feel emotions are a hinderance or people who are highly sensitive whose feelings can act like an overwhelming tidal wave. Our imbalances can manifest in depression, anxiety, overwhelming stress, or a dissatisfaction with relationships. In our work together you can expect for us to create treatment goals guided by your core values that move you towards clarity and growth.

I am a compassionate therapist specializing in individuation, connection to nature, and authentic living. With a deep understanding of the transformative power of self-discovery, our work is a journey to embrace true identity. I combine evidence-based techniques with holistic principles; encourage self-awareness, acceptance, and alignment with personal values. Driven by the belief that nature plays a pivotal role in well-being, I integrate ecotherapy into practice, fostering a profound connection with the natural world.

I strive to create a therapeutic environment where you feel comfortable expressing whatever is on your mind without fear of judgment. I believe that you are the expert in your own healing, and I will work collaboratively with you to identify and reach your treatment goals. I use approaches that have been scientifically researched and found to be effective, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and somatic and mindfulness-based interventions. I will work with you to ensure that you are not in therapy longer than is necessary to reach your treatment goals.

When I was in high school, I struggled with my sexuality. The struggle lead to maladaptive coping skills, depression and anxiety. I felt so alone, scared, and like no one understood what I was going through! I needed help but I was too afraid to ask for it! One day, a school counselor, who I've never interacted with before, noticed that something was wrong with me and she reached out, gave me a helping hand, and put me into group therapy with other teens like me! I wasn't alone any more, I wasn't the only one questioning my sexuality, there were other kids like me! Getting help was the first step towards acceptance and self-love!
