Youth pastor and teacher for Churches in the Waco area for 5 years.
Have you discovered that you are lacking in motivation? Confused or completely lost when it comes to your own personal purpose in life? The number one symptom I have noticed in the past few years is that people lack motivation and purpose. That might be because of trauma, grief, personal issues, or any number of events and relationships. The goal of therapy with my clients is to increase awareness, renew motivation, and rediscover purpose that aims at a better, more authentic future.

I work with adults, teens, and couples navigating divorce, relationship conflict, anxiety, and life transitions.
Feeling depressed, anxious, or burned out? Coping with loss, healing from a breakup or searching for your life's purpose? You don't have to figure it all out alone. Therapy offers a place to slow down, make sense of what's happening beneath the surface, and reconnect with yourself.
My goal is to provide a supportive, collaborative space where you can show as you are. We slow things down and gently figure out what is happening underneath the anxiety, conflict, or emotional shutdown. Often there are patterns, old wounds, or relationship dynamics you’ve been carrying for years without realizing how much they’ve been affecting you.

I am currently licensed in Texas and Connecticut. I help women navigating the complexities of family issues, specifically around grief and loss, estrangement, divorce. These challenges can cause identity crises, financial issues, increased stress, strained family relationships, which can show up in several ways. It can become easy to isolate yourself, have difficulty concentrating at work or school, increase guilt and self blame, or anxiety. My clients tend to want to understand what's happening, but also want to know there is a way out...which there always is!

I view therapy as a place for thoughtful examination and intentional change. Many of the individuals I work with are capable, high-functioning adults—often men—who appear steady on the outside but feel restless, overextended, or misaligned internally.
They are not looking for someone to simply agree with them. They want clarity. Direction. A deeper understanding of who they are becoming and how they are showing up in their lives.

What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
