Managing bipolar disorder requires specialized care. Headway's Temple network of providers offers psychoeducation, routine stabilization strategies, and medication management to help navigate mood episodes and build stability. Many sessions covered by insurance with copays as low as $0.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and co-founder of The Pineheart Center, with nearly 20 years of experience supporting adults through trauma, attachment-related concerns, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My professional background spans nonprofit, clinical, and healthcare settings, which informs a grounded, compassionate, and relational approach to therapy.
I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work and am also a Licensed Child Placing Agency Administrator. In addition to traditional clinical training, I am a Certified Narrative Enneagram Practitioner, and I thoughtfully integrate this framework when helpful to support self-understanding, emotional awareness, and relational insight.
I primarily work with adults and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, complex trauma, identity exploration, relationship dynamics, and stress related to caregiving or high-responsibility roles. I value creating a space where clients feel seen as whole people—honoring both their struggles and their strengths.
I came to counseling after having already completed a successful career and was looking for something different. I completed graduate school in Texas and have since become licensed in both Texas and Colorado. The majority of my work is in general counseling and I also work with couples and families. I have worked for University of Texas schools as well as for the University of Alabama. While working in the UT system schools I helped with veterans issues and transition to civilian life. During Covid I provided counseling for military families and first responders.
Some seasons of life are just hard, and you don’t have to go through them alone. As a Licensed Professional Counselor who is passionate about helping people feel supported and understood, I believe everyone deserves to be seen and heard.
I also believe our backstory matters. It often shapes how we think, feel, and relate to others. My role is to help you make sense of those experiences while building the tools you need to overcome insecurities, heal from past trauma, and manage anxiety and stress. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more confident, empowered, and in control of your life.
I believe everyone can improve their quality of life
