Great to meet you!

Welcome! Nice to meet you! I am licensed to practice therapy in Texas. Thank you for taking the next step. As your therapist, it is my goal to see you become a better and stronger version of yourself. It is my belief that life's experiences teach us things that may no longer be the most helpful or true today; even if they were true at the time in our past. When we don't adapt and remain flexible, we find ourselves in a web of mistaken beliefs, thinking errors and unresolved and unprocessed life problems. As a result, it becomes too hard to find our way and manage life's challenges in the here-and-now. I love to be present with my clients and help them find a new authentically to experience change. I've worked with clients from many walks of life and with varied needs. My areas of expertise are in Anxiety, Depression, Women Issues, Life Transition, Christian Counseling and Self-Esteem issues.

My favorite activities when I'm not at work are to explore and appreciate the outdoors by traveling, yoga, shopping, and spending time with my family and dog, and trying new exciting restaurants. I graduated from Amberton University in Texas with Master of Arts in Professional Counseling

Selecting a therapist on a platform like Headway can be difficult because it's not easy to know exactly what you are getting into. "Will this person really know what she is talking about? Is she a total Quack? Will she actually be able to help me?" These questions are the norm for clients and uncertainty comes with the territory of what you are searching for. It's my hope that we will make a great team and you will become that better and stronger version of yourself you're searching for.

My approach to therapy

I use a Eclectic and Holistic approach to help my clients bring out the best in themselves. I like to use humor, challenging questions, and a warm open-minded approach.

What you can expect from me

I want my clients to feel understood, heard, valued and safe. My clients has made an important and brave decision to open up to a complete stranger and I hope when they leave I convey appreciation for that.
