Great to meet you!

I am licensed in Texas with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, & trauma and abuse. I also have experience working with depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe that true healing comes from addressing the whole person; mind, body and spirit. I utilize client-centered interventions and will meet you where you are as we work to develop a client invested treatment plan. I mix compassion, coaching and a clinical approach best suited to your goals.

What you can expect from our first session

Reaching out for help can be difficult; I strive to create a safe environment that is welcoming, respectful and encouraging as we chart the path to your personal goals.
