Online in Texas
(Online Only)
As a therapist, I believe healing happens in safe spaces where you feel seen, heard, and understood without judgment. My approach is collaborative and relational, blending evidence based practices with deep compassion and curiosity. I work with you to uncover patterns, calm the nervous system, and gently explore the parts of yourself that are asking for care and attention.
Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or burdened by old wounds and expectations. Together, we create space for rest and self discovery while building tools that foster resilience and deeper connection. My hope is that through our work, you not only find relief from what weighs you down, but also rediscover your strength, clarity, and the freedom to live more fully as yourself.

Approach Description: My approach is relational, compassionate, and body centered. I believe healing is not about rushing to “fix” yourself but about slowing down enough to listen to what your mind, body, and spirit are trying to say. In our work together, I draw from EMDR, somatic practices, DBT skills, mindfulness, inner child work, and attachment theory. These tools help you process the past, calm your nervous system, and move toward a more grounded and authentic life.
I see therapy as a collaborative process where you set the pace. Some sessions may focus on building practical coping skills, while others go deeper into exploring core wounds, patterns, and the parts of yourself that need compassion and care. Above all, my approach is trauma informed, curious, and centered on creating safety so that real healing can unfold.
