Great to meet you!

I have always loved connecting with people. Once I woke up to my own journey of healing, growth, and self-love, it seemed natural to support others on their journey as well. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have a Reiki (energy work) Master certification.I come from a large family and I was born and raised in Georgetown, Texas. I have benefited personally from incorporating yoga, meditation, and mindfulness, and energy work into my own life.

My approach to therapy

I like to take an individualized and holistic approach to the healing journey. Feeling safe in our bodies is an important part of the work and I like to incorporate mindfulness techniques including breath work, meditation, and simple yoga poses that help promote release. I bring a down-to-earth and approachable demeanor to sessions and value authentic connection. I look at experiences, attachment, learned beliefs and patterns can give us great insight in how to move forward.

What you can expect from me

You are the agent of change, and I will be here to guide and support you along the way. Mindfulness is a big part of my life and something I strive to practice daily. Sometimes through meditation, sometimes by taking time to think before I respond, and sometimes by doing a quick body scan and taking a few deep breaths. I incorporate mindfulness into my sessions through discussion and introducing different tools so clients can decide what feels helpful and works for them.
