About My Clients

My work consists of supporting adults & teens ages 16+, through complex trauma history & healing, navigating close & intimate relationships, unpacking major life transitions, intentional exploration of your identity & sense of self, or processing the unbearable loss of a loved one. I enjoy working with individuals who don't know where to start, yet are making the intentional choice to help themselves. I believe that integrating a holistic perspective of an individual is essential!

My Background and Approach

My approach with clients is establishing a trustworthy & safe therapeutic relationship, as this is key in clients' overall progress. I am very open, honest, and encourage feedback from what is and what is not working. I encourage and empower my clients through having real-life conversations, while collaborating on areas of growths and developing strategies together that could best reach their goals. As I specialize in trauma and grief, I know sometimes the goals may not seem so clear or concrete, but there is an instinctual feeling that you need help. That is okay! That is where I love meeting my clients at, and learning from their reality & being a witness to their intentional growth. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas. I have a M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of St. Thomas-Houston, & received a B.S. in Psychology for the University of Houston-Clear Lake.
