I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real conversation between two people. I show up as myself: warm, direct, and genuinely curious about your life. I will not tiptoe around hard things, but I will never make you go somewhere you are not ready to go. Much of my work centers on trauma, PTSD, and bipolar disorders, alongside anxiety, depression, OCD, and the everyday stress that builds up until it feels unmanageable. I have sat with a lot of people through some of the heaviest moments of their lives, and I have watched them come out the other side steadier than they thought possible.

I specialize in using DBT, CBT, and IFS modalities to help adults (and some teens) struggling with substance use, personality disorders, self-harm/suicidal thoughts, emotional outbursts, and other behavioral issues.
We all begin the therapeutic journey with our own set of strengths and needs. Our uniqueness can promote creativity, new perspectives, and collaboration. Other times our uniqueness can be terminal; leading to emptiness, feeling disconnected from self and others, and beliefs that mental health treatment may work for other people, but it won’t work for you. Therapy is not about “getting over” events and issues; it’s about understanding your triggers and learning how to manage your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so that you can move forward and continue to build a fulfilling life.

Symptoms are signals received from both the conscious mind from various sources throughout the body, an indication that something is wrong. By avoiding theses indicators, clients with extending and spiraling issues are able to address symptoms that would otherwise end in a complex and convoluted crises. Obviously our weaknesses and issues, such as anger, insecurity, fear of intimacy, and/or the need to control are expressions of a wounded child within. Much of society has been wounded through abuse or dysfunctional families. Unresolved conflicts tend to carry-over into our adult functioning.

Life can feel heavy at times—but you don’t have to carry it alone. I work with adults—individuals and couples—navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, or faith-related struggles. The clients I work with often reach a point where they’re ready for change—ready to slow down, look inward, and begin the work of healing. They desire greater emotional awareness, deeper connection, and a more grounded sense of peace within themselves and their relationships. Ultimately, they want to create a life that feels whole, authentic, and aligned with who they are and who God is calling them to be.

You’ve tried to push through, but something isn’t clicking—mood is dysregulated, sleep is poor, focus is scattered, and you’re not feeling like yourself.

My ideal client is someone who knows it's time for something different and is prepared to accept support and take bold steps toward healing and growth.

I am an eclectic therapist that combines emotion-focused strategies with psychotherapeutic evidence-based approaches. The underlying principles in my approach are that treating anxiety, depression, self-esteem and more can be traced to experiences, beliefs of shame, and other negative core beliefs in an individual. Finding out these aspects of a person’s life, naming them, and working through them are components of her counseling process. I believe in providing a holistic counseling therapy process so you live a wholly present, healthy life.

Currently accepting clients for Fall support groups focused on Complex-PTSD, relational trauma, neurodivergence and high sensitive persons. Clients often describe my presence as calming and supportive, noting that our work together has led to meaningful change. For some, this transformation came after years of therapy that offered insight but lacked actionable steps. EMDR is a powerful tool that provides clients with the resources to achieve lasting change. I am trained in EMDR, the Gottman Method, and Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples.

Round Rock, TX 78681
Thank you for taking the time to explore what connecting with me may be like. I was twenty-something when life taught me strong relationships are the key to health and well-being. Neuroscience has proven this true and we now know that we are inherently wired for connection on a neurobiological level. Connection isn’t a luxury, it’s essential to our survival. Ironically, it’s connection that can also be the source of our most profound pain and suffering. No matter how deep the hurt or how great the loss, things can shift when we feel seen, heard, and understood by another. We heal in connection with others.

Personality Disorders Therapists
What are the common treatment options for personality disorders?
Personality disorders are typically treated with psychotherapy, sometimes in conjunction with medication. Therapy can help people with personality disorders develop skills to tolerate difficult emotions, navigate interpersonal relationships, and solidify their sense of self. Medications can treat symptoms that co-occur with the disorder, such as depression, anger, aggression, and impulsivity.

When to seek treatment for personality disorders?
Even though treatment for personality disorders can be an uphill battle, it’s best to seek help if you suspect that you or a loved one is struggling with one, because personality disorders can create substantial problems in life. Symptoms depend on the specific disorder, but overall signs of personality disorders include consistent difficulty maintaining close relationships, dramatic variations in self-esteem, and an unstable sense of identity.

How long does therapy take for personality disorders?
The timeline for treating personality disorders isn’t as clear-cut as it is for other disorders. Change can be difficult, taking from around one year to five, 10, or more. The key is finding a therapist who has extensive experience treating the relevant disorder. For example, a psychologist who specializes in narcissistic personality disorder has specific communication strategies that allow them to sustain the relationship and be more effective with narcissistic patients.

Can therapy help people with personality disorders?
Research suggests that for those who are motivated to address concerns or interpersonal conflict related to a personality disorder, therapy is far more effective than no treatment, and that most people in therapy see improvements. However, since personality disorders involve entrenched elements of identity, they are less responsive to treatment than are other mental health conditions. Finding an expert who has extensive experience working with a given personality disorder is one factor that increases the likelihood of successful treatment.
