What is your approach to therapy?

My approach with clients is highly relational. I use an attachment-based lens to guide the therapeutic process, though I incorporate various theories and modalities to customize the journey toward healing for each client. My area of focus with adults is family of origin issues, dissociative disorders, complex trauma, and PTSD.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I help clients “update” or transform their own relationship to their need for connection to themselves and others. Each one of us has a unique life story and inherent gifts that shine when we move toward a life lived with connection, purpose, and intentionality.

Career counseling focused on mental health in the workplace is my specialization. I help college students, job seekers and working professionals who are feeling burned out, anxious, or overwhelmed reconnect with their strengths and bring their best selves to work or school. Many of my clients juggle high expectations, relationship challenges at work or college, and feel stuck, frustrated, or held back by negative self-talk. Together, we work on recognizing these patterns, challenging self-imposed limitations, and building healthier, more confident ways of thinking.

If you’ve been holding everything together for a long time but are feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself, you don’t have to navigate that alone. Many of the people I work with appear strong and capable on the outside while carrying anxiety, trauma, depression, or major life transitions that feel heavy on the inside.

Therapy can be a space to slow down, breathe, and make sense of what you’ve been carrying. Whether you’re struggling with past experiences that still affect you today, feeling stuck in survival mode, or simply needing space to process life’s demands, our work together focuses on helping you feel more grounded, supported, and connected to yourself again.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor providing online therapy to adults across Texas. I primarily work with individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, and life transitions, and I strive to create a calm, supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood.
