About My Clients

I typically work with adults and older teens navigating relationships, trauma, boundaries, people pleasing, and the complicated emotions that come with being human. I also have additional training in perinatal mental health, and a particular interest in supporting individuals navigating infertility and the emotional challenges surrounding pregnancy and parenthood.

My Background and Approach

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas, and I’ve been seeing clients since 2009. My style is laid back, conversational, and compassionate, with a healthy dose of humor and honesty when the moment calls for it. I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can let your guard down, be yourself, and talk about the hard stuff without worrying about feeling judged. Our conversations might include laughter, a few uncomfortable truths, and moments that make you think, “Well, I hadn’t looked at it that way before.” I believe in being honest and straightforward while also giving you the space to explore things at your own pace. My approach isn’t one size fits all. I draw from several therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, and interpersonal and feminist perspectives. But more importantly, I believe in meeting you where you are and figuring out together what actually works for you.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Some days, therapy means digging into the deeper stuff. Other days, it’s about figuring out how to set a boundary without feeling guilty, stop taking responsibility for everyone else’s feelings, or simply make it through a really hard season. I believe it’s impossible to separate mental health from the world we live in. Things like discrimination, systemic barriers, and our individual experiences have an impact on us. I try to be mindful of what each person brings into the counseling room and create a space where people feel seen, respected, and supported. That commitment extends beyond my work as a therapist too. I believe in continuing to learn, showing up as an ally in our communities, and advocating for equity and inclusion outside of the counseling room. When I’m not in session, I’m probably catching up on a favorite book series and eating Hot Cheetos. Because balance, obviously.
