Two years ago I became a (geriatric) mom and walked through a season of post partum anxiety. That experience lead me to complete my education in post partum mental health. If you're an older mom (like me!), first time mom (also like me!), and facing post partum mood and anxiety (I did!), juggling a busy life (yep, me too!), I'm here and would love to work with you!

I approach clients with the an open mindset, looking to explore what the client needs and what they want for themselves. I always want my clients to know there is no judgement from me in their decisions, EVER. I view everyone's mistakes as us just being human and having a human experience. This practice of examining our human journey and what motivates us to do the things we do is extended to myself, my clients and my children/family. I often attempt to have the practice of asking myself "why did I do that? Did I do that because of this or because I was feeling blank?" I think it is important to help others get to the place where they ask themselves the same type of questions. We're all here just having human experiences!

As a clinician, I bring a unique blend of professional expertise, lived experience, and a sense of humor that helps create a relatable and supportive therapeutic environment. I understand firsthand what it’s like to face mental health struggles because I’ve been there. My own journey has given me a deep empathy for the challenges my clients face and a passion for helping them navigate their own path to healing. I believe that healing is a deeply personalized journey that looks different for everyone. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to growth, and I honor that by offering a mix of hard work, compassion, and honesty in our sessions. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Drawing from a variety of therapeutic approaches, I tailor our work together to meet your unique needs. I focus on treating the whole self—your body, thoughts, emotions, relationships, and creativity—because true healing often requires attention to every part of who you are. Whether we’re working on managing anxiety, building self-compassion, or navigating complex relationships, I strive to provide the tools and insights that will foster meaningful change and growth. Life is full of both pain and joy, and I want to help you be present for all of it. While the hard moments can feel overwhelming, they can also lead to transformation. Through a mix of exploration and actionable steps, I’ll guide you toward building a life that feels balanced, intentional, and fulfilling. And yes, we’ll likely laugh along the way. Therapy doesn’t have to be all serious, all the time. Sometimes a little humor is exactly what’s needed to bring lightness to the process of healing.

I have 10+ years of experience working with children and adults providing individual and family counseling, including extensive experience providing trauma-informed care with immigrant families and youth involved with the foster care and juvenile justice systems. I will strive to instill hope by empowering clients to discover and build on their own strengths. I believe therapy can help individuals navigate through difficulties so it doesn't feel like we are doing it alone. Come with me to the journey of introspection and we will find healing in the end.

Life has its ups and downs and struggles, but you don’t have to get stuck there or suffer. If you’re struggling right now, we can work together to make your life better. Therapy doesn’t have to be hard or scary. It can be a safe haven to explore what is getting in the way of having the life that you want. I’m a licensed clinical social worker, specializing in mental health and chemical dependency. I have a laid-back style and often use humor and metaphors to make ideas easy to grasp. I’ll help you learn new skills and make small changes that have big results.

I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and empowering. My approach is person-centered, which means I meet you where you are—emotionally, mentally, and culturally. I integrate evidence-based techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, always tailored to your unique story. You are the expert on your life; my role is to walk with you, offer support, and equip you with tools to navigate challenges and build resilience. My journey into counseling was shaped by my experience as a homeschool mom in an underserved community, where I witnessed firsthand how mental health disparities impact families. I saw the strength and resilience of individuals navigating complex challenges without adequate support, and it inspired me to become part of the solution. With that foundation, I pursued specialized training in perinatal mental health and a career that allows me to center both compassion and justice in care.

As a former first responder and United States Army veteran, I have had the privilege of serving others in some of the most challenging environments. This journey has shaped my deep understanding of trauma, addiction, and personality disorders, and I’m eager to apply my experiences to help those who are navigating their own struggles. My time in the military and as a first responder has given me a unique perspective on the challenges people face when dealing with trauma. I have an eclectic approach that is centered in trauma-informed care, person-centered, with humor injected into my interactions with clients.

I am a seasoned counselor familiar with adolescents, issues of personal development, empowerment, issues about personal power, overcoming fear, and identifying values. I value honesty, courage, self-actualization and altruism. I have worked almost exclusively with males. I see the world from a male perspective because that's the point of view I have experienced life through. I have spent years in the gym. I am a musician, and I play out somewhere every week. There are a few high-stakes, difficult life situations I want to address here: If you are afraid of your child setting a fire, trying to get a gun, or stealing from you in plain sight, reach out. If your child is being bullied, I might be able to help him to acquire the skills necessary to hold his own in life. Finally, if you or a family member is being stalked or threatened by someone, I may be able to professionally assess the danger.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Texas rather than a city like Dallas?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Texas from Houston to Austin! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Texas.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
