As a clinician, I bring a unique blend of professional expertise, lived experience, and a sense of humor that helps create a relatable and supportive therapeutic environment. I understand firsthand what it’s like to face mental health struggles because I’ve been there. My own journey has given me a deep empathy for the challenges my clients face and a passion for helping them navigate their own path to healing. I believe that healing is a deeply personalized journey that looks different for everyone. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to growth, and I honor that by offering a mix of hard work, compassion, and honesty in our sessions. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Drawing from a variety of therapeutic approaches, I tailor our work together to meet your unique needs. I focus on treating the whole self—your body, thoughts, emotions, relationships, and creativity—because true healing often requires attention to every part of who you are. Whether we’re working on managing anxiety, building self-compassion, or navigating complex relationships, I strive to provide the tools and insights that will foster meaningful change and growth. Life is full of both pain and joy, and I want to help you be present for all of it. While the hard moments can feel overwhelming, they can also lead to transformation. Through a mix of exploration and actionable steps, I’ll guide you toward building a life that feels balanced, intentional, and fulfilling. And yes, we’ll likely laugh along the way. Therapy doesn’t have to be all serious, all the time. Sometimes a little humor is exactly what’s needed to bring lightness to the process of healing.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Welcome! If you’re considering starting therapy, you’ve already taken a courageous step toward personal growth and healing. As a therapist with a holistic approach, my goal is to create a safe and inviting space where you feel supported, seen, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges. Whether this is your first time in therapy or you’ve been here before, your journey is unique—and our work together will honor that. When you arrive at my cozy office, located in the heart of Fort Worth, you’ll be greeted by a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The space is designed to feel like a refuge, with comfortable seating, soft lighting, and soothing touches to help you feel at ease. As you settle in, you’re welcome to enjoy a complimentary cup of coffee or tea to help you relax and focus as we begin our time together. Before we dive into the session, we’ll start with some housekeeping to lay a strong foundation for our work. If you haven’t already completed the intake paperwork online, we’ll take a few moments to review it together. This paperwork provides me with essential background information about you, including: - Your reason(s) for seeking therapy - Medical, emotional, and family history - Any current challenges or goals If you’re feeling unsure or hesitant about sharing details in this stage, that’s completely okay. The paperwork is a starting point, not a test. You’re always in control of what you share, and we’ll take things at a pace that feels comfortable for you. The heart of the first session is all about building connection. I want to get to know you—not just as a client but as a whole person. We’ll explore your current challenges and goals, as well as your values, strengths, and life experiences. Our conversation might include questions like: - What brings you to therapy now? - Have you had therapy before, and if so, what worked (or didn’t work) for you? - What’s going well in your life right now? - What do you hope to gain from our time together? I also want you to get to know me and my approach. As a holistic therapist, I view mental health as interconnected with your physical, emotional, relational, and even spiritual well-being. While we’ll address the specific concerns that brought you here, we’ll also explore the bigger picture—your lifestyle, habits, environment, and mindset—to support lo
