Therapist

If you’ve been carrying too much for too long, therapy can be a place to finally exhale. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas and Oklahoma, and I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, life transitions, trauma, and recovery from narcissistic abuse. Many of my clients feel emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhealthy patterns, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to move forward. My goal is to offer a compassionate, supportive space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered to heal, grow, and make meaningful changes.

Dealing with life can be difficult without adding the struggles of anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma. When dealing with these challenges sometimes we can feel as if we will never be able to get to the light at the end of the tunnel. These struggles can lead to relationship issues, feeling as if you are lost, or like you are just spinning out of control. I want you to know that you do not have to go through life with these feelings. We can work together to help unpack the issues you are struggling with.
