I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and Oregon who works with adults navigating the lasting effects of difficult relationships, childhood experiences, anxiety, and emotional distress. I specialize in relational trauma and helping individuals better understand how earlier experiences may continue to influence their sense of self, relationships, and emotional well-being.

Many of the individuals I work with struggle with overthinking, people-pleasing, self-doubt, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling responsible for the emotions and needs of others. Therapy provides an opportunity to slow down, better understand these patterns, and develop a healthier relationship with yourself and the people around you.

My goal is to create a collaborative, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore your experiences, develop greater self-understanding, and work toward meaningful and sustainable change.

Approach to Therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, relational, and trauma-informed. I draw from several evidence-based approaches, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and somatic interventions to help individuals better understand their internal experiences, emotional responses, and behavioral patterns. I believe many of the struggles we experience today make sense when we consider the environments and relationships in which we developed. Rather than simply focusing on changing behaviors or reducing symptoms, I work with clients to understand the underlying beliefs, emotional experiences, and protective patterns that contribute to their difficulties. Through our work together, we may explore how past experiences influence present relationships, identify parts of yourself that have developed to navigate difficult circumstances, and build greater emotional awareness and self-compassion. I also incorporate practical tools and strategies to help manage anxiety, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, establish boundaries, and respond to difficult situations differently. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship built on curiosity, authenticity, and collaboration. My hope is that therapy becomes a space where you feel understood, develop a deeper connection with yourself, and gain the confidence to build a life and relationships that feel more aligned with who you want to be.
