You may know that your thoughts aren't dangerous, but that doesn't make them any less exhausting. If anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or OCD are making you doubt yourself, avoid situations, or spend hours trying to find certainty, you don't have to keep navigating it alone. I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, rumination, reassurance-seeking, or avoidance and want to feel more confident, present, and engaged in their lives. I primarily work with adolescents, young adults, and adults experiencing OCD and anxiety, while also supporting clients working through depression, trauma, and life transitions.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with three years of clinical experience. I earned my master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Eastern Washington University in 2023. Since then, my experience includes outpatient therapy, adolescent mental health, trauma-focused treatment, and private practice, which has allowed me to work with clients across a range of concerns while developing a particular focus in OCD and anxiety.

Clients often describe me as warm, empathetic, humorous, and practical. I believe therapy can be both meaningful and down-to-earth, and I want you to feel like you can be yourself while also making real progress.

My approach is collaborative, practical, and solution-focused. I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and solution-focused therapy.

For clients with OCD and anxiety, therapy may involve learning to respond differently to intrusive thoughts, reducing avoidance and reassurance-seeking, building tolerance for uncertainty, and becoming less controlled by anxiety. Rather than simply talking about what is difficult, I want us to identify patterns, understand what's maintaining them, and develop skills that translate into your everyday life.

I also incorporate trauma-informed care when working with clients whose past experiences continue to affect how they feel, think, or relate to themselves and others.

My goal is for you to leave therapy with a better understanding of yourself and practical tools for handling what's happening outside of session.

Depending on your goals, that may mean learning how to respond to intrusive thoughts without getting pulled into compulsions, challenging anxious thought patterns, becoming more comfortable with uncertainty, improving your ability to manage difficult emotions, or working through experiences that have left you feeling stuck.

I don't believe progress means never feeling anxious or uncomfortable. Instead, I want to help you build the confidence to experience difficult thoughts and emotions without letting them dictate your choices.

We'll work together to identify what matters to you, set realistic goals, and make therapy a place where you can make tangible changes while still feeling understood and supported. If you're ready to spend less time fighting with your thoughts and more time living your life, I'd be glad to work with you!
