The emotional and social challenges that come with pursuing educational and career goals are often overlooked. After several years working at the Texas State Legislature, I decided to return to school to become a therapist. I was drawn to this path by a desire to meaningfully support young adults as they navigate the complex transition into adulthood. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can develop coping strategies, explore deeper issues, or simply have a place to talk thin...

In addition to that work, I also help many clients address their depression, anxiety, life stressors, childhood trauma, sexual health, and relationship/family dynamics. Since my work primarily addresses trauma and sexual topics, I am very intentional about cultivating an LGBTQ+ affirming and inclusive space. Pleas...
I help my clients become more confident, contented, and true to themselves, while decreasing unhelpful approaches like worry, inaction, bottling emotions, people-pleasing, and avoidance in all its forms. My clients have recognized that, despite their academic and other successes, something is wrong: their old ways of coping are hitting their limits; their challenges are harder to manage; their interpersonal relationships are fewer and shallower than they'd like; painful thoughts keep resurfacin...

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who approaches work with adults through a Psychodynamic, Trauma- Informed lens. I view symptoms as expressions of unconscious conflicts and painful core beliefs that need to be compassionately understood and metabolized in order to achieve therapy goals. When we understand and learn to love ourselves, we gain access to choices about who we are and how we want to live that we never thought possible. It is an honor for me to accompany people on this journey. ...

I want to help you remember that your mental health and well-being are the most important fa...
