I was extremely nervous and unsure if I made the right decision for my child but after meeting and speaking with her, I knew I had found the right therapist for my child. He also said she was easy to talk to and that he looks forward to talking with her again.

I work with individuals, couples, and families who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or relationship stress. You might not have perfect words for what is going on, but you know something needs to change. My goal is to offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and supported as we make sense of what you are carrying and what you want to be different. I am a trauma-informed therapist trained in EMDR, and I use a solution-focused approach to help you find relief and build lasting change. Together, we will develop practical tools for coping and self-soothing, including mindfulness, grounding, and emotional regulation skills, while also working through experiences that may still be shaping your thoughts, feelings, and relationships. I graduated from Abilene Christian University and am finishing my doctorate at Texas Woman’s University. Whether you are seeking individual support or hoping to strengthen connections in your relationship or family, I am here to walk with you toward healing, clarity, and hope.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

I work with young adult men who want to strengthen their mental performance, emotional regulation, and decision-making—especially during periods of transition, pressure, or identity development. My approach is grounded in performance psychology and focuses on helping clients move from feeling stuck or reactive to feeling intentional, confident, and in control. I primarily use Solution-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This means we spend less time reliving the past and more time building practical strategies you can apply immediately—while also developing awareness of thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be holding you back. Therapy with me is collaborative, goal-oriented, and rooted in real-life application. I have a particular interest in working with young adult men navigating challenges related to motivation, discipline, stress, relationships, self-worth, and life direction. My goal is to help clients not only cope, but perform at a higher level—mentally, emotionally, and behaviorally—while staying aligned with their values.

Therapy is a space to understand your emotions, slow down, and feel more in control of your thoughts.

Sessions focus on practical coping tools, emotional regulation, and recognizing patterns so reactions don’t feel overwhelming. My approach is collaborative and supportive, helping clients build skills to become well-functioning, confident members of society. The goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and more capable handling everyday situations at home, school, and socially. With a background in education training at Houston Christian University, I use a developmentally informed approach to meet each person where they are while fostering self-awareness, resilience, and independence.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate supervised by Swathi Weaver, Ph.D., LPC-S providing virtual therapy to children, adolescents, and adults across Texas. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating disorders, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I especially love working with adolescents and teens navigating this stage of life, as well as young adults experiencing high levels of stress or feeling stuck. My approach is warm, relational, and trauma-informed. I view therapy as a collaborative process, walking alongside clients in a way that feels supportive, empowering, and balanced. I integrate evidence-based modalities including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to support emotional regulation, self-awareness, and meaningful, values-aligned change. When working with children, I incorporate play therapy and creative approaches to help them express emotions, build coping skills, and feel safe in the therapeutic space. I also collaborate with caregivers to support growth and strengthen family dynamics. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen and understood for who you are, and safe enough to try, learn, and move forward at your own pace.
