Hi!! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas, with over 10 years of experience. My greatest passion is offering an empathetic, non-judgmental, safe space to process emotions and thoughts in a collaborate journey towards healing and wholeness. I have expertise in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and am a fierce advocate and ally for LGBT+ clients. I have training in CBT, client centered therapy, Play Therapy and Solutions Focused therapy and I pull from these modalities (and others) to create an approach that meets each client’s unique needs. Outside of work, I’m married to my incredible husband and we have 3 wild and wonderful children. I love spending time with friends, thrifting, reading, hot tea and I am obsessed with my two cats.
I want every client I meet with to feel heard, seen and cared of. Whether I end up being your long-term fit or not, I want to focus on getting to know you in our first session together to create a collaborative plan that will serve you well. We will discuss what brings you to therapy, your goals and your background, along with anything else that might be related. We will then make a plan for a follow-up sessions from there.
Beginning therapy can be a nerve wracking experience. I feel like what I offer is an empathetic, compassionate, understanding and a down-to-earth solution-oriented approach to therapy. I am here to support you every step of the way, trusting that you are the expert in your own life. I work hard to read/learn constantly in my professional life, and I’ll never suggest anything to you I’m not actively working on practicing in my own life. I am so passionate about this work and I want to do everything in my power to help you thrive.
I am trained in a variety of modalities (including CBT, client centered therapy, Play Therapy and Solutions Focused therapy), and I love working with a wide range of clients to help them achieve their unique goals. I do have a particular passion of advocating and championing young women to discover their unique sense of identity, self worth and to help empower them to use their voice. I am also passionate about supporting survivors of domestic or sexual violence, as well as those deconstructing (or reconstructing!) faith after being involved in high control/structure religious environments.
Focused on utilizing a strengths based, supportive, nurturing approach to healing and learning new ways to approach and think through problems
Focusing on fostering a strong therapeutic alliance is critical for long term positive change in therapy
Therapy is a short term commitment. It is my goal that YOU will feel confident and strong to move forward and understand all you have to offer the world.
When appropriate, we can tailor treatment to be lazed focused on achieving your goals.
The majority of my work has been centered around supporting clients who have dealt with trauma. It is one of my greatest passions to support clients who are in the process of healing.
