Great to meet you!

Welcome to your journey! I look forward to meeting with you and working together to navigate your life needs. I'm a counselor in Texas and I work with older teen and adult clients who are looking to improve their overall quality of life.

My approach to therapy

I work with clients holistically to help them integrate the pieces of their lives. I trust my clients' experiences and help them trust themselves so they become empowered to create the life that fits best for them. I like to use a little humor and spice sometimes too!

What you can expect from me

Clients who work with me have expressed that they understand themselves and their surroundings more deeply, and they feel empowered to navigate their lives differently. They often notice their own changes and express that these changes feel real and authentic to them.
