Heartsong: The expression of a person's inner essence, underlying identity, and reason for existence. Being a kid in today’s world can be overwhelming, stressful, and confusing at times. Sometimes life circumstances or traumatic situations happen that cause these big feelings for kids. I would like to offer a safe space for kids to explore these things. My hope through the counseling process is that kids will feel safe enough to grow by learning new techniques and strategies, heal from hurtful or traumatic experiences, and of course have some fun while we are at it by using play, laughter, and games.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by perfectionism, “momma guilt,” chronic work stress, or high-functioning anxiety? Maybe a long-standing phobia or unresolved trauma is holding you back. I’m here to support you in creating a space for healing, growth, and lasting change. For those seeking deeper transformation in a shorter timeframe, I specialize in EMDR intensives—structured sessions designed to focus on specific challenges with concentrated support. These are ideal if you're seeking the potential of rapid symptom reduction. I also provide support to children and adolescents seeking to manage anxiety, phobias, and family conflict.

I see clients including adolescents or adults who struggle with anxiety, depression or trauma. I also collaborate with and empower clients who have eating disorders or struggle with body image. I offer psychotherapy in Texas through Zoom. And I see clients in Lubbock in person. I aim to exceed client's expectations for a full and productive life. My personal approach is to practice radically open acceptance of my client through validation, while also expecting change and personal growth. This is particularly important for individuals who have intense emotions along with ineffective coping skills.

Waitlist for new clients
Waitlist for new clients! Working with people for nearly 10 years has been a privilege, and I’m grateful for what I’ve learned in that time. I am guided by three core beliefs. 1. We each have a unique life story. How we interpret that life story impacts how we live our lives. 2. How we see our present is impacted by the things that have happened to us in the past. 3. Our thoughts, behaviors, and values shape how we develop relationships and relate to the world around us. I use a holistic approach to each person’s mental health journey. You, as a person are at the center of therapy.
