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.

Life can be challenging at times, and some seasons are difficult and painful to go through. There are times our lives take an unexpected turn, and you may have found yourself in a place you never thought you would be. You are doing everything "right", but still feel disconnected, anxious or on edge. My clients often come to therapy feeling anxious, overwhelmed from life changes, and full of pain from grief and trauma. You want a space where you don't have to perform, explain, or be the strong one. Together, we will create a plan prioritizing your overall emotional health and well being.

So often we suffer traumas and emotional struggles, feeling like no one will understand or not knowing where to turn. This is one of the reasons I chose to become a counselor. My role in my client's lives is to provide a different outlook and to evaluate possible solutions. I provide my clients with a safe and supportive environment, free of judgement or criticism, where meeting their goals is top priority. I help my clients recognize their choices, as well as the means to get there, and together we will work towards achieving those desired goals.

I incorporate CBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness-based strategies to help clients process their experiences, develop effective coping skills, and build resilience.
I bring a wealth of experience from working in inpatient, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient settings, where I have supported individuals navigating a wide variety of mental health challenges. Over my career, I have developed a deep understanding of conditions such as trauma, PTSD, grief, loss, and dual diagnoses, enabling me to provide care that is both informed and compassionate. My approach is rooted in flexibility and collaboration, tailoring evidence-based techniques to fit each client’s unique circumstances and goals.

I am an LPC-Associate in Texas, trained in mindfulness and EMDR.
Most young adults I meet aren’t falling apart, they’re just tired of pretending they have it all figured out. Maybe things look fine on paper, but inside there’s anxiety, confusion about identity or faith, relationship stress, or a general “what am I doing with my life?” feeling. I help people untangle that mess in a calm, judgment-free space so they can make sense of who they are and where they’re heading, without needing to meet anyone’s script for them.

I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, stress, and unresolved experiences that continue to impact daily life.

I am Master Certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which can help reduce the emotional intensity of distressing memories without repeatedly retelling every detail. I also offer trauma intensives for focused work and meaningful progress in a shorter time frame.

As a therapist with a mindfulness perspective, I provide a gentle, caring, and accepting environment for thoughtful discussion and a deeper understanding of the self, addressing issues of concern within a broader context.
I specialize in depth work, offering opportunities for self-awareness, longer term change, and help with nervous system regulation through mind-body connection. I help adults heal from childhood trauma using psychodynamic theory, mindfulness and somatic approaches so they can get "unstuck" from the past and move forward.

Often the issues that bring a person to my practice are depression, anxiety, or traumatic events. Some struggle with eating disorders or other behaviors that control their lives. When in the midst of these issues, a person often feels helpless to change course. Reaching out for help from a trained professional is a courageous first step, a step that can change the course of your life. If you are the type of person that desires to take that first step and is willing to change what is not working for you, we will likely work well together.

As a registered yoga teacher I often bring in tools such as breathwork, movement, and mindfulness for nervous system regulation.
The therapeutic process is a healing process. Healing takes place both internally and within the context of relationship. We constantly shift and change day to day, week to week, year to year. Changes can be going from sleeping to waking, from changing our routines, or outdated patterning. Changes can come in the form of a new baby, a new marriage, a new job; and they can also be divorce, death, health issues, or a sudden move. Inherent in every change is a level of questioning, worry, and concern either internal or external. I do believe change is a wonderfully empowering catalyst to growth and healing.

Thank you for considering me as a part of your journey towards healing. I understand choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision. Often times, unresolved mental health issues lead to isolation. You are not alone. Individuals often experience unpleasant symptoms associated with trauma or adverse life events that often lead to mental health issues. Often times, many mood disorders and trauma-related symptoms are often linked in some way to traumatic life events, generational trauma, or hereditary factors. I offer the expertise to help you connect with your inner and external strengths to foster healing, resilience, and hope.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
