Whether you're feeling distant, unheard, or weighed down by the past, we're here to guide you, take the first bold step and reach out today. Our cozy tea-time chat awaits! âđ˝ WAIT POLICY Respect the 15-minute wait policy, sessions donât always start exactly on time due to back-to-back appointments, and while clients can be a few minutes late without issue, practitioners also deserve that same grace. âď¸ AVAILABILITY & SCHEDULING Though intake and follow-up appointments are set to 30 minutes for scheduling, We intentionally reserve 60 minutes to ensure we have enough time for meaningful, unrushed work. đ¨ IMPORTANT NOTICE: We donât provide documentation for work accommodations, emotional support animals, or leave requests, our practice no longer offers this service. If thatâs your primary need, we're not the right fit. Thanks for understanding.
During our first session, we'll dive into your motivations for seeking therapy, the issues and symptoms you're battling, and what you want the outcome of our therapy journey together to be. The main intervention I will be utilizing is psychotherapy and trauma-informed care. Youâll complete a holistic pre-care assessment to provide a data-driven baseline of your whole life balance, highlight your focus areas, and identify what needs attention.
Hereâs what I bring to the table: emotional presence, reflective listening, and an open mind. If Iâm not the right therapeutic fit for you, thatâs okay (I'm not everyone's cup of tea đ): it's your chance to recalibrate and find what works (just honor my humanity in the process, I'm human too, standing with you, not above you). I donât give advice, I offer perspective. I wonât tell you what to do, Iâll highlight your options. I donât just focus on one part of your life, I see the whole you. With over a decade of experience shaped by training at the University of Texas at Austin, Texas Tech, Guide Uni, and beyond, I help unlock the deeper potential in your relationships. My passion is guiding couples and families toward healing, connection, and lasting love. If youâre ready, letâs begin the next chapter of your story, one filled with clarity, growth, and joy.
My ideal client is a Hispanic or African-American woman, 21â65, done with unfulfilling relationships, embarking on a new life transition, and is ready to do the work. Sheâs open to unpacking emotional baggage, embracing discomfort, and seeing love through a new lens. She knows therapy doesnât end with me, because for her, every day is day one. Often, women convince their partners to pursue therapy with me, hoping to mend whatâs broken, and we welcome that. But we deeply encourage both partners to be truly aligned and ready to show up consistently before choosing us. We won't sell (or convince) you, or your partner, of the value of therapy. When you're both ready to show up and do the deep work, know this is the space for you.
Understanding trauma requires nuance. I focus on de-layering the trauma in your past and present to help you inform and cultivate your future. Trauma can run deep to the point that patients block it out of their memories. We explore your trauma together, stewing in it to ensure you don't get lost in the depths of it and you can rise up for air, take a deep breath, and forgive forward.
Stories matter. Using narrative therapy, we challenge you to explore the past, present, and future of your story. We are the stories we tell ourselves so we guide you in defining yours.
Our primary approach. In our practice, we apply experiential therapy in psychotherapy sessions through role-playing or presenting in-person opportunities that address root-cause issues the patient is struggling with.
We evaluate the psycho, physio-relational, and bio-physiological forensics of the couple's relationship to dissect gaps and opportunities in their relationship. Through this process, we can make informed recommendations and present opportunities for behavioral change and marital bliss.
Most adults forget about the importance of play at an individual and relational level We incorporate play into your life by staging targeted activities that yield enjoyment, thrill, and euphoria. Play needs to exist with self, in relationships, and in relation to the universe. Therefore, we guide you in redefining what play means for you, holistically.
