I’m a licensed clinical mental health counselor who believes therapy should feel safe, honest, and genuinely supportive—not clinical, stiff, or judgmental. I work with clients who feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck carrying things they’ve had to manage on their own for a long time. Many of the people I work with have experienced anxiety, trauma, complicated family dynamics, relationship stress, or long-standing patterns rooted in earlier life experiences.

I specialize in treating complex trauma, couples therapy, grief work, OCD and phobias.
Note: I am now licensed in both Texas and New Mexico! Congrats on taking your first step towards healing! I’m proud of you. I strive to make the therapy room feel like you’re having a cup of coffee with someone you feel safe with. I will walk with you through the valleys and cheer for you on the sidelines when you reach your mountain tops. You should feel empowered, advocated for, challenged, and hoisted up by your therapist; I hope to do that for you. As a client myself, I know it’s scary to get started. But we don’t change if nothing changes. Schedule a consultation with me to see if we are a good fit!

Loss is an all too real part of life.
I use Person-Centered and Narrative Therapy, along with CBT as needed (particularly when addressing anxiety and depression). I find that healing often comes through the telling of story, and I have a passion for listening, for offering support and a new perspective, and for being a witness to each client's story.

My passion is working with clients experiencing grief & loss.
You are exhausted from the constant fighting. Your stomach turns and your head reels at the thought of returning home after a long day. The smallest disagreements erupt into yelling, bitterness, and finally-silence. You wonder if the peace can return, and if your relationship can have joy like it used to, or if it's time to call it quits...

I view depression and anxiety as messengers asking us to turn toward our grief, tend our pain, and realign ourselves with our heart's true desires.
I have worked with many clients experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and PTSD in my ten years as a certified yoga therapist. I work from a somatic lens, which means that I understand the ways that trauma and stress express themselves through the body. I help clients reconnect with the intelligence of the body by weaving somatic practices into therapy.

Have you been grieving the loss of a loved one?
Another day underway... Went to bed exhausted, woke up the same way. Spent an hour last night staring at the ceiling…drift off and bam, time to wake up. Living the dream...not. More like another frickin' long day...spent 20 minutes (you didn't have) searching for your keys. Driving to work, everyone's out to piss you off with their driving. Cut off twice, honked at, and the person tapping their brakes 100 times pushed you over the edge. 15-hour work shifts draining what little energy you have. Mind's all over the place. Overwhelmed and stuck. On your 4th argument of the week with your partner, it’s only Wednesday.

I have worked with a wide range of clients who have experienced trauma in their lives either through abuse, sexual assaults, or death of close friends and family.
Often individuals struggle to see how their life could be different. My joy as a therapist is to watch clients heal and gain the tools they need to continue walking through this life. Pain and struggle will be present at times throughout life, but it doesn't have to rule over us.

Grief Therapists
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.

When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.

Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.

What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
