Houston, TX 77098
I work with couples seeking to cultivate more secure, fulfilling, and resilient relationships. My approach integrates the Gottman Method, secure attachment frameworks, Polyvagal Theory, and principles from cognitive-behavioral therapy to foster effective communication, emotional regulation, and relational safety... I also support individuals in strengthening their relationship with themselves, enhancing self-esteem, self-worth, and self-talk while promoting self-compassion and self-forgiveness. I help clients build the capacity to “feel and deal” by improving their nervous system responses and choosing better coping strategies.

If you are anything like me when I was in my lowest place, I sought therapy. Nobody helped me identify the root, they only focused on the surface issues. It seemed to add more suffering on top of an already distraught situation. Suffering sucks! Life was made for living. I was tired of losing out because of what others had done to me or because I couldn’t get the solutions to my issues! If you are committed to your healing and recovery, I will take you through every step of the process to go from victim to victor! It is so exciting to be able to assist those who are tired of suffering and losing years and decades of their lives.

I can't promise it will be easy, but I do want to be a reliable, trustworthy resource for you too get where you want to be.

If you’re looking for a safe space to heal, grow, and/or transform pain into resilience then you’re in the right place. Emotions are part of being human, but you knew that right? Well, I also like to think of them as indicators. Emotional experiences aren’t without reason, oftentimes they’re trying to tell us something. Emotions can help us uncover valuable information about our needs, desires, and areas that may benefit from healing. I enjoy helping fellow humans make sense of their past, as they work on the present, to achieve sustainable change for a more fulfilling future. Understanding your experience matters to me.

We all struggle. We all feel as though we aren't achieving our goals. We all go through the motions of day to day life. We all think "something has to change". One of the best (and hardest) things someone can do is recognize when they need a little extra support, and it seems as though you've reached that point. And that is okay! What a wonderful step you are taking to regain control of your life, relationship, or overall well-being. You have the answers to your problems, we just have to dig and work a little to get you that point of realization.

Peace, purpose, belonging, fulfillment, happiness - these qualities can feel elusive in the midst of the many challenges of life. Unexpected, painful events pepper our histories with emotional, unseen wounds, and patterns of behavior that we've used to survive can often lead to further distress. However, there is hope. It takes courage to seek help in the form of counseling, and that is a significant step in the journey of healing and personal growth. I want to encourage you for thinking of taking such a step today and let you know that through such steps, one at a time, the overwhelming mountains of life can be overcome.
