About My Clients

Feeling like you’re juggling a thousand things, always one step away from dropping it all? ADHD, executive functioning struggles, anxiety, or depression got you spiraling? Maybe you're exploring your queer identity in an unsupportive world, or navigating life transitions that feel overwhelming. My ideal clients are neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, and anyone struggling with anxiety, depression, or relation

My Background and Approach

I didn’t always plan to be a therapist. In fact, during social work school, I swore it off. Then, I said I’d never enter private practice because of the gatekeeping in the mental health field. Turns out, I was wrong on both counts—I’ve now built my own group practice. My initial hesitations keep me grounded, ensuring I always prioritize your needs as my client. Life is messy and unpredictable, and I get that. As your therapist, I wear many hats: emotional container, teacher, role-play partner, life skills coach, and sometimes, an embarrassing cheerleader. My extensive experience in trauma-informed therapy, executive functioning coaching, and relationship work means I’ll meet you where you are while challenging you to grow and heal. Whether you’re navigating ADHD, anxiety, relationships, or LGBTQIA+ identity, my approach is rooted in authenticity, accountability, and the belief that therapy should feel like a partnership in your personal growth.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I'm a licensed clinical social worker first and a therapist second - and I have an intersectional feminist, restorative practice approach. Basically, that means... That I absolutely believe that All Black Lives Matter and continually try to undo my own socialization tied into colonialism, white supremacy and the maintenance of patriarchy. That I intentionally teach my kids about life experience of people who are different from them. It also means that I try to parent my children with respect, nurturing, and patience. That I'm in constant internal conflict about being an entrepreneur who begrudgingly engages with capitalism while simultaneously trying to dismantle it. That I absolutely will be at the Texas Capitol trying to testify when bigoted legislation comes down the pipeline. That I go to therapy. My personal belief is that you have to walk the talk to truly create change, and I make every effort to do so. If that resonates with you, drop me a line and let's get to work :)
