About My Clients
I believe that with the right help, collaboration, and kindness you can find relief and build the life and relationship you desire. My goal is to work together with you to set goals that can move you forward quickly while building long-term skills that can carry you through life's ups and downs.
My Background and Approach
I have alongside friends and family, experienced dramatically, the physical, mental, and financial hardships of Covid. I have lost my home in one of Texas’s natural disasters. I have endured severe trauma and have experienced incredible beauty amidst terror. I understand that life is an intersection of it all. Throughout, I have found that the way we respond, the way we answer the call, the way we fashion our stories, and the way we tell ourselves stories in our own heads, creates who we are. These stories, in turn, create our reality, create our life, and affect our health. It can be done on our terms. It can be authentic. It can be real. It can be beautiful. In the field of clinical mental health counseling, we call this Narrative Therapy.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a therapist, I work with couples and individuals alike who may be struggling to navigate particularly challenging periods, including those related to significant life changes and traumas. Working together, we can turn your pain into possibility. My role is to walk hand-in-hand with my clients throughout the counseling process to reduce the feelings of grief, worry, and confusion they grapple with. My counseling style integrates behavioral therapy (namely Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT) with psychodynamic and narrative approaches. How we tell our stories deeply impacts our experiences and can affect health outcomes. I know this from firsthand experience volunteering in the cancer ward, which is ultimately what inspired me to become a counselor.
