Trauma (ART-trained), Relational Issues, Depression, Anxiety, Self-Esteem
Works with: 15+

I graduated from Texas Christian University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Child Development and from University of Houston: Graduate School of Social Work with a specialization in mental and behavioral health. I spent nearly four and a half years working with adults and adolescents in an inpatient psychiatric hospital unit. I’ve seen and heard it all – you can’t shock me!

I’ve been in your seat and know how scary it can feel to talk about your struggles, fears and uncomfortable emotions. Being vulnerable can feel the opposite of what it is – courage. Therapy helped turn my life around, which is how I know it can for you too. I don’t just believe in therapy, but I live it. I found the tools and tricks that continue to help me daily and I want to help you find yours. I believe in the power of self-awareness in that it is one of the very best things we can do for ourselves. We all have personal weaknesses, struggles, and strengths, but only when we acknowledge them, can we empower ourselves. My goal is to provide a safe space for you to process, learn, grow, and ultimately feel better.

As your therapist, I am not here to tell you what to do or who to be, but I am here to help you discover yourself – what it is that you need to feel whole again. We are a team. As a child and teen, I hated the emptiness I felt, the way I talked down on myself, and the unhealthy habits I formed. There is a way out and I hope to help you find it.

I provide many different evidence-based therapy approaches depending on your needs: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Solution-Focused, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Strengths-Based, and more. One of my favorite approaches is called Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). ART includes all five components of trauma therapy in just one session. It is a very directed and controlled therapy approach that can provide relief from symptoms in just 1 to 5 sessions.
