Therapists in Temple, TX
People often come to me feeling stuck, repeating the same patterns and expecting different results, but with no idea of how to make the changes they want. Maybe it is a significant life event or life changing news or even feeling tired of the same, people are seeking help to handle what they are going through and understand what is next. With an approach that each person is the expert on their experience, work with me begins with collaboratively navigating how to overcome the struggle that is being faced. As the therapist, I work alongside people to help build their strength and achieve the healing they desire.

My work with clients is intuitive, deeply relational, and focused on helping clients build self-trust rather than simply managing symptoms.
I offer a space for deep listening, self-discovery, and meaningful change. My approach is highly individualized, rooted in trusting the body and nervous system as allies in the healing process. I help clients slow down their narratives to connect with the emotions beneath their experiences, often using a polyvagal perspective. I don’t work from a rigid model but rather draw from 40 years of experience—including therapy, yoga, bodywork, and life itself—to meet each client where they are.

I continued studying Social Work, Psychology, and Sociology, and learning as much as I could inside and outside the classroom.
