Regardless of what life has thrown at you, I am here to go through it and grow through it with you.

Respect, optimism and advocacy are at the core of my work. I specialize in counseling with individuals, couples, multi-partner relationships within LGBTQ+, and heterosexual communities of color.

Be Seen. Be Heard. Be Known. These three brief sentences perfectly summarize my approach as a therapist. I am seeking to be a safe, non judgmental place for my clients to rest and truly be seen, heard and known. I use a multitude of therapeutic approaches ( DBT , CBT, Family Systems, Attachment, Narrative, Solutions Focused to name a few) but believe my skills as a relational clinician differentiate me amongst the crowded field of options. I work with Individuals (13+), Couples and Families. I find it a great honor to be a therapist and walk alongside those seeking help and I look forward to connecting with you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Texas. I have 8+ years of experience working with individuals coming from a range of circumstances and backgrounds. My formative work primarily involved working with adolescents, families, and couples dealing with crises in a social service setting. This laid a great foundation as I was able to develop new skills with each incoming client. Through that experience, I found that my true passion lies within a few specialties: couples & family counseling, adolescents & young adults, LGBTQI+, EMDR, stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

The purpose of therapy is generally straight forward. Individuals seek professional help when conflict in their world causes pain. In the counseling session, clients share their concerns and therapists share their training and professional experience . I believe that it is my responsibility to provide a safe place where clients can talk about their thoughts, feelings and experiences in a non-judgmental atmosphere. My approach is interactive, validating, compassionate and collaborative. Depending on the client and/or the specific situation, I work from a variety of perspectives.

I feel honored to share in the growth and healing process of others. I come to the counseling field with a background in health and fitness as a personal trainer, marathon and triathlon coach, and Licensed Massage Therapist. My background provides me with an unique, holistic lens to address the whole person. The services I provide are compassion focused, exploratory, and highly relational. With my strength-based, collaborative approach to therapy, I endeavor to empower individuals to create more authentic and wholehearted lives by embracing vulnerability and practicing courage.

DBT is short for Dialectical Behavior Therapy. This is a specialized type of therapy that requires intensive post-graduate training by the therapists who offer it. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is recognized as an evidence-based practice by the American Psychiatric Association. DBT is an effective treatment for helping people to manage the intensity of their emotions and impulsive behavioral patterns that are disrupting the quality of their daily lives. What DBT does best is that it teaches skills that are not confined to a clinician's office. These skills generalize to every aspect of your world.

I am honored to have the opportunity to walk with you in your journey. Trusting others can be hard, and I am committed to cultivating a safe place where you can share your story. My goal is for you to feel empowered to explore and share your fears and joy. Every person has faced challenges, and and I hope to create a safe place for you to be fully seen and celebrated. As you navigate the terrain of your life, I look forward to providing you with a listening ear and self-advocacy tools and strategies. Together, we will pursue healing and help you discover the courage and resiliency you have to meet life's challenges.

I help young adults navigate through various types of loss and life change: relationship, familial, friendship, work. My style is calm and non-judgemental. I use CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to empower clients to take better control of their negative thoughts and create healthy coping strategies/ thought patterns. Through also incorporating  DBT ( Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) in sessions as well, I am able to help clients challenge negative thinking patterns while regulating emotions to feel more level. I utilize a solution focused approach while holding space for clients to process in their own way.

I believe at some point in our lives we all need some extra support. Therapy gives people the opportunity to talk to a non-judgmental, caring individual who can help you in the difficult moments of your life, and help you feel not alone or lost.

I work with adults of all ages. I especially enjoy clients emerging from the college setting or people going through a transition. I like working with people motivated for change on their journey to emotional wellness and building a life worth living. No life is free from pain, but we get to choose how we respond to pain and transition. In that choice lies freedom and power.

The last years have been trying years for everyone. Perhaps they brought new behaviors from your partner, family member, or yourself. Maybe they reminded you of past traumas. Many have "big T" traumas like abuse or near-death experiences. We all have some "little t" traumas, like feeling rejected by others. Part of us gets stuck back to when we experienced the trauma. But you don't have to stay there! You can be free of the grip of both "big T" & "little t" traumas. These no longer have to affect you, your relationships, or many other things.
