The Houston area was my first home and I have now returned after spending an adventurous decade in the beautiful hill country of Austin. I’ve been privileged by those who have allowed me to join their mental health journey — ranging from all walks of life in varietal backgrounds. I became a fully Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in June 2022 & captivated my passions in evolving into a Relational Therapist over the last 10 years. Human connection is vital to who we are, as interpersonal relationships & emotions create our identity. Through meaningful, authentic, and emotionally attuned connections, you can begin to heal the psychological wounds that prevent all you are capable to be.

I specialize working with adults in learning how complex traumatic experiences have shaped & altered their lives. If you suffer from C-PTSD, you likely experience emotional dysregulation, negative self-perception, and avoidance to painful memories/people/places. This drives us further away from our innate sense of belonging & engagement. I help my clients create their blueprint of an ideal future by healing the wounded past.

In our time together, we will collaborate often because it’s important I not only understand you, I hear you. You are the expert on your life & nobody knows your story better than you. Knowing your past is a gift, one I value greatly — as it’s the foundation upon which we were built & meant to grow, not sentenced to stay ‘stuck’ in auto-pilot. Our trusted relationship with one another begins to heal these emotional wounds caused by traumas — releasing what is no longer serving you, regaining your empowerment, & redefining your identity. It is a pure joy to experience the wins with you in this life, therapy does not have to be “just about the bad.” All parts of you are welcome — as I will always be rooting for you.

Therapeutic frameworks I practice from are Humanistic, Psychoanalytic, Cognitive, and Behavioral approaches — larger umbrella terms to target more specific beliefs & interventions within these therapy modalities. I am also specialty trained & actively practice Brainspotting (BSP) — a highly effective trauma treatment therapy that borrows from the healing powers of Somatic Experiencing & EMDR to reprocess traumatic memories.

As each of these skill sets is unique, so are you. I tailor my approach on what you need from me — ranging from more hands on & directive or free association. You are always driving this car, I’m just here to help you navigate.

Vulnerability can feel ominous, we typically shy away from it — subconsciously protecting ourselves. My hope is that by creating a space & personalized pace — the most authentic version of you can be present and unapologetically heard. The uncomfortable begins to become comfortable. I am here to support you from beginning to end and all the in between. I believe our ability to stabilize, recover, & evolve into who we want to become is always possible, it is never “too late.” Therapy takes immense courage at any stage, so whether you’re a ‘seasoned client’ or it’s your first time — be proud you took this step. Your past does not define you, the future is unknown, all we can control is the present.
