“All great changes are preceded by chaos.”
– Deepak Chopra
The process of growth and change can be hard, uncomfortable, and often illusive. However, I have learned that meaningful transformation is possible, that the human spirit is resilient, and that the effort is worth the reward. I specialize in working with adults and couples who are feeling stuck and who are searching for a change. I am passionate about helping my clients to awaken their innate ability to live full, vibrant, and connected lives.
My approach to therapy is trauma-informed and grounded in neuroscience and attachment theory. I nurture a sense of agency and empowerment in my clients by providing compassionate support, a non-judgmental space for exploration, and valuable information about how our brains, bodies, and relationships work. I integrate mindfulness, body-based interventions, and parts work into my sessions to address trauma, foster safety, and alleviate anxiety and depression. I also incorporate therapeutic expressive arts for those interested in alternative and complimentary approaches to talk-therapy.
I received my Master of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling from Southern Methodist University in Dallas. During that time, my interests in mental health and wellness grew into a profound passion. I am deeply committed to my clients and feel it is an honor to walk with them on their unique journey.

“Awakening is not changing who you are but discarding who you are not.”
