You’re the caretaker or the high achiever—the one who always finds a way to make things work. On the outside, it may look like you’re doing everything “right,” but inside you feel anxious, disconnected, or simply exhausted. If you’re wondering how much longer you can keep it all together, you’re not alone. Finding a steady, supportive therapist can be the first step toward feeling like yourself again. As a Licensed MFT, I work with women and men who are struggling with burnout, perfectionism, anxiety and depression. Many of my clients feel stuck in patterns of overthinking, people-pleasing, or putting others first. Together, we look at what’s working in your life and what may be keeping you feeling overwhelmed or drained. From there, we create realistic goals that help you build confidence, set healthy boundaries, and bring more peace into your daily routine. Clients can expect through the process to create stronger boundaries, improved mood, and increased clarity with themselves and the world. I am licensed in both CA & TX, and love to see clients remotely for virtual sessions. In addition to my clinical experience, I also have a background in world religious studies, have a passion for all things creative, and love seeing clients from various cultural backgrounds, LGBTQ+, college students, working moms, and young professionals. Whether you are starting therapy for the first time, returning, or looking for a better fit, all are welcome.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
My style is collaborative, gentle, and reassuring. You will never be rushed in the process and can show up exactly as you are today. During our first session, you can expect a safe space to share your worries, struggles, and accomplishments. My goal is to understand your history, share about my approach, and get to know your unique story. We will then set goals together on what you want to work on most and track progress together.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I take a collaborative treatment approach utilizing a mix of CBT, Attachment, and Neurobiology to help clients learn new ways of managing symptoms and showing up for themselves. I strive to ensure you feel seen, heard, and respected throughout the entire process. We will often learn practical tools like solution focused strategies to discover new ways of coping with stress or CBT strategies, to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thoughts. I am also trained in trauma informed care, DBT, and mindfulness based techniques and will often pull from a mix of disciplines to best tailor my approach to your unique needs.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I also help clients that are struggling with major life changes (starting college, marriage, infertility, divorce, career shifts, pregnancy), LGBTQ+ clients, and those who are looking for some extra support to feel safe, understood, seen, and empowered. I love seeing a large variety of individuals, from those who are actively ready to change, to those who are tired of just "pretending to be fine", all stages are welcome.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I often utilize CBT techniques to help clients learn new ways of thinking challenge old behaviors and feel in control often for the first time of their thoughts. We will explore how thoughts often influence our behaviors and ways to rework them in the moment.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I often utilize DBT based mindfulness skills, and finding a "middle path" aimed at balancing acceptance and change creating better emotional regulation. DBT teaches 4 practical skills to help bring awareness back to the body to help clients reduce overwhelming emotions and improve overall relationships.
Attachment-based
I am also fully trained in attachment as a trauma-informed approach and focused on utilizing this approach during my 3000+ hours of clinical training. Attachment focuses on how childhood bonds with our caregivers shapes our patterns and understanding of care in current relationships. If there is an "attachment wounds" (neglect, abuse, separation, trauma) by building a secure, trusting therapist-client relationship it can improve the clients emotional regulation, self-esteem, and relationship stability.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I often utilize mindfulness based techniques, that are practical skills clients can focus on to create a solid foundation of practical skills that can be used long after therapy ends. This approach focuses on the "here and now" to stop ruminating on the past or worrying about the future. It can teach clients to observe, accept, and detach from negative thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations without harsh judgment. It can be particularly helpful to use for recurrent depression, anxiety, and stress.
