Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Texas. I received my Masters from the Minnesota School of Professional Psychology. I have been practicing practicing for 15 years. I have been practicing in the state of Texas for the last 6 years. I have worked in private practice, case management, in home and grief counseling. I currently work with adults on adjustments and transitions. I focus on motivation and positive change and processing barriers. I help process a preferred narrative that leads to an improved congruency of mental and emotional wellness.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session we will go over an overview of therapy and any questions they may have about therapy. We will then build a foundation of understanding the problem they are up against. I both listen and interact with my clients to identify takeaways each session.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked in multiple settings from private practice to case management, lifestyle management coaching, in home therapy and case management and grief counseling I have multiple perspectives to draw from when working with diverse clients.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with people who are eager to live a life that is more congruent with their personal best self. A lot of problems stem from incongruent narratives that a client has taken on from their environment that contrast with how they would like to live their life. I help my clients to process these narratives and move toward personal meaning and improved experiences.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Mind-body approach
The mind and body work in synchronicity to each other. A healthy body will influence a healthy mind. I help clients to explore healthy habits to improve their mental well being.
Motivational Interviewing
I focus on the stages of change pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action and maintenance and elicit the change process with clients through identifying what motivates them and provides meaning in their life.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I assist clients to identify thoughts and behaviors that are getting in the way of their happiness and to identify alternatives and more positive ways of thinking This in turn helps them to turn to to these alternative meaning that empower them.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I explore observing rather than pushing away stressors and cultivating curiosity of the positive, negative and even neutral thoughts and feelings that circulate in the mind. I focus on mindfulness that can be incorporated through breathing, movement and during every day moments.
Narrative
I help clients see problems as separate from their identity. We process where these problems originated in belief systems and identifying alternative narratives that can be supported and developed.
