Great to meet you!

I’m a Dallas-based, full-time telehealth therapist in private practice, serving all of Texas.

The serious: I have spent about 10 years working with eating disorders, at every level of care. During 2 of those years, I also worked at a non-profit community center. I specialized mainly in working with first offenders, self-harm, family issues, gender identity, LGBTQ+/SOGI, and couples. I then spent a year in a Case Manager position, where I advocated with insurance companies to ensure that clients receiving eating disorder treatment in Texas were getting services authorized by their insurance plans.

The fun: I’m mom to 2 pretty bad-ass teenagers, a best friend to several gorgeous people, always ADHD, and an ever-learning partner. My friends, family, clients, and polycule are the most important things on the planet to me. Not directly related, but we love cats around these parts. Four things that always make me happy: good coffee, The Office, a good eyeshadow palette, and fresh hydrangeas

My approach to therapy

I'm solution-focused in session, and I love to help clients establish achievable goals. I like for session to feel laid-back, as if you're with a like-minded friend.

I specialize in working with:

  • ADHD
  • Polyamory/CNM
  • Eating Disorders
  • Couples
  • Bariatric Patients

What you can expect from me

I like to end every session with setting intentions for the week ahead. Together, we can come up with achievable tasks that get you closer to your overall therapy goals!
