As a licensed professional counselor and psychotherapist, my relationship with my client is the most important aspect of the process. I strive for connection and a collaborative spirit. It is always my goal to help the client with their unique and special needs. Whether someone struggles with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, trauma, or general relational issues, I want to develop a plan with them that will be customized to their needs, and specific to what their desired outcome is.

Clients describe me as someone who’s compassionate, but who will “tell it like it is.” I believe that most problems in our relationships and well-being come from unmet needs in childhood. I help my clients learn to heal through mindfulness, reparenting, and finding a sense of safety through Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) or somatic therapy. At the same time, we need to identify and challenge negative beliefs that we have about ourselves and the world. This is a process called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Through therapy, we can develop self-awareness, healthy boundaries, and assertive communication. These are skills we can all learn to help us feel better and work towards the life and healthy relationships we want.

I graduated with my Masters in counseling in 2007. I believe we all need to validation and empathy in order to begin to make changes that last. I like to help women overcome loneliness, anxiety, depression, family troubles, divorce, kid challenges, etc but I also help men navigate these things too! I've worked with teenagers all the way to past retirement. I help individuals as well as couples and families. I believe real change is possible with some insight, willingness, and a little bit of tell me I'm not crazy for thinking this!

Every person will encounter difficult obstacles in life, but your past or current struggles do not have to define your future.

I provide therapy in a non-judgmental, supportive space with the goal that you will recognize your value and capacity for wholeness regardless of what holds you back today.

Hi, I'm the owner of The Lounge Collective. I received my Masters in Mental Health and Wellness from New York University. I have experience working with clients ranging from 5 to 99 years old. I am passionate about creating a lasting, foundational relationship. I also meet clients where they’re at and aim to provide an open, calm and welcoming environment.

I earned my Master of Science in Social Work at the University of Texas at Arlington in 2003. I had the privilege of starting in the field of sexual abuse/violence, which began my real-life education. I've continued my study of trauma, and in family dynamics. This continues to shape my growth. I have years of experience working in psychiatric hospitals with those struggling with severe mental illness. The one thing that I've learned and want to share is this: people can (and do!) get better.
