I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I work primarily with adults navigating relationship challenges, attachment wounds, anxiety, depression, and difficulties with trust, self-worth, and emotional connection. I also hold an LSOTP credential and provide specialized therapy for adolescents experiencing problematic sexual behaviors. I use a trauma-informed, integrative approach tailored to your needs. I help clients understand how early experiences and core beliefs shape the patterns they continue to experience in relationships, emotions, and daily life. Together, we work toward building healthier relationships, greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and a stronger sense of self. Depending on what’s helpful, we may draw from CBT, DBT skills, ACT strategies, schema work, and attachment-based or relational approaches to support emotional regulation, coping skills, relationships, and personal insight.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session will focus on getting to know you, what brought you to therapy, and your goals. We also cover some background so I can understand your situation better and make sure future sessions are tailored to your needs. We’ll use that information to start building a clear direction moving forward.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I offer a warm, relational, and collaborative therapeutic style. I focus on creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard and understood. I also bring honesty and directness when helpful, and I’m comfortable gently challenging patterns to support growth and meaningful change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I specialize in working with adults who are navigating relational struggles rooted in attachment, and the anxiety, depression, and stress that so often come with them. In addition I work with clients who have found they continue to repeat patterns they don't understand. I also hold an LSOTP credential and offer specialized therapy for adolescents dealing with problematic sexual behaviors.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected and develop healthier patterns that support their goals.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I pull from ACT-informed approaches to help clients build self-awareness, practice acceptance, and take meaningful steps aligned with their values

Attachment-based

I use an attachment-based approach to help clients understand how their attachment style impacts relationships, emotional patterns, and connection with others.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I incorporate DBT-informed approaches to help clients better manage intense emotions, build coping skills, and respond more effectively in relationships and everyday situations.

Integrative

I use an integrative approach that tailors therapy to each client’s unique needs by drawing from different evidence-based modalities that best support their goals and growth.
