Therapist

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel safe, heard, and accepted. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, ADHD, grief, or major life transitions, my goal is to help you better understand yourself, develop effective coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington and have experience in private practice, medical social work, community mental health, and pediatric therapy. I am EMDR-trained and integrate evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed therapy, Motivational Interviewing, strengths-based therapy, and play therapy when working with children.

I work with clients across the lifespan and enjoy helping people heal from trauma, manage anxiety and stress, improve emotional regulation, strengthen relationships, and build resilience. My approach is collaborative and individualized because I believe every person brings unique strengths and experiences to therapy.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you move toward healing, growth, and the life you want to create.

What is your approach to therapy?

I am dedicated to help individuals lead fulfilling lives. Starting therapy is a brave step and together we will uncover elusive core issues and assist in transforming blocks, leaving you free to thrive in the life you choose.

My approach integrates acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and somatic practices. We will explore unhealthy thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. I bring a mind-body perspective to all my work and believe that therapy is a collaborative relationship.

What can clients expect from their first session with you?

We will work to help you become your clear, loving, authentic, creative, and fearless self.

Finding a therapist who truly gets your life can feel like a long search. One who sees more than a diagnosis, who doesn't need you to explain yourself before you can get to work. If you're part of the LGBTQ+ community, that search often comes with an extra layer: the quiet work of figuring out whether this therapist is actually safe, or whether you'll spend your sessions educating them. With me, you won't have to do that work.

I'm a licensed therapist with more than 22 years of experience in mental health and addiction treatment. I've worked in community mental health centers, psychiatric hospitals, correctional settings, and private practice. I've sat with people in some of the hardest moments of their lives and know how to meet them there without flinching.

My primary focus is LGBTQ+ individuals and couples. That includes navigating identity, coming out at any stage of life, relationship dynamics unique to queer and same-sex partnerships, internalized stigma, minority stress, and everything that comes with living authentically in a world that doesn't always make that easy. I also work with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, substance use and dual diagnosis, men's issues, and stress and burnout.
