I am not currently accepting new clients - It’s a relief to show up to therapy without explaining our identities. I offer space for BIPOC, queer and trans clients. I want to help you develop a sense of confidence and self compassion by learning to observe yourself and the world around you with honesty and clarity. I'm here to support you in your healing and growth.

I offer therapeutic sessions for individuals, couples, youth, and families. I help facilitate a process where people can develop insight and understanding of what may be holding them back from wellness, joy, and personal growth. Sometimes this may involve family patterns, behaviors that are not in line with one's values, or relationships that are no longer serving you. My job is to create safety for people to share their authentic selves, honoring strengths and navigating challenges together. My intention is to honor your gifts and to expand new ways of thinking or approaching situations to better meet your goals.

If your life is calling you to something different, something better than where you’ve been, then I would be honored to help you get there. The way to our best life is often paved with obstacles, clouded by the unknown, and honestly painful and terrifying sometimes. But there IS away, and step by step, it is revealed to you. I can help you identify those next steps, navigate the unknown with greater confidence and clarity, and step into your power, courage, and authenticity in order to align with and create the healing, change, and dreams you are being called toward. Guided growth… this is what we will co-create together.

At my core, I am a relational therapist and do my best work with couples, non-monogamous romantic partnerships, and families of all forms, including co-parents who are no longer in romantic partnerships. I believe that systemic therapy is a way to create meaningful change and get unstuck from the patterns that no longer serve us.

I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety/depression, meaning and existence, personal growth, and stress. A few special areas of clinical focus are: LGBTQ+ issues, gender-affirming and neurodiversity-affirming care, and Multicultural/Identity issues.

Hello, brave one! I understand and admire the courage it takes to seek mental health support. If you find yourself grappling with anxious/intrusive thoughts, depressed mood, gender or sexual identity, challenges related to career or life transitions, or struggles associated with relationships and self esteem, therapy can be a safe, supportive space to process these experiences. Together, we may examine social, cultural, and environmental factors that impact the broader context of your lived experience, meaning-making process, and ability to implement change.

Now Accepting New Clients! I am a psychotherapist for And Still We Rise under the supervision of Dr. Natasha Holmes. I hold a Doctor of Philosophy in Counseling Psychology from Texas Woman's University. in Denton, Texas, I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy, and that we all deserve to have a space to learn about ourselves and our relationships. I believe my clients are experts on themselves, and feel honored each time a client chooses to work with me as they grow and heal. I have a strong passion for sexual violence prevention and survivor support.

Your needs and challenges are unique to you and I am here to help support you in finding a pathway to healing. My approach to therapy is strengths-based and maintains that each person is the expert on their own lives. I use a trauma-informed approach to assess the individual needs of each person I work with. Additionally, I utilize the person-in-environment theory, which emphasizes that one’s environment plays a crucial role in their mental health and overall wellbeing. I will share with you the tools you need to succeed and provide you with support along the way.

I believe every person is creative, worthy, and capable if given the right support and care. My clients are often queer or trans, many identify as disabled or chronically ill, and most of them have experienced trauma throughout their lives. Many of my clients also identify as neurodivergent and want to understand how to work with their brains more effectively without judgment. Most of my clients have been taught that their body-minds are inconvenient, shameful, or difficult.

I use various therapeutic models I've learned over the last 12 years, including parts work, CBT, psychedelic-assisted therapy, the Gottman method, motivational interviewing, somatic healing, and trauma-informed care among others.
