My approach combines the science of therapy with the essence of genuine human connection. I utilize a variety of evidence-based modalities—including EMDR, CBT, DBT, ERP, ACT, and trauma-informed care—but the choice depends on you. Therapy with me isn’t one-size-fits-all. We work together to discover what best aligns with your goals, values, and unique lived experiences. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of assisting survivors of Sexual Assault/Domestic Violence and complex trauma; individuals managing OCD, GAD, social phobia, PTSD, MDD, and body-focused repetitive behaviors like skin-picking or hair-pulling; people recovering from substance use, navigating grief and loss, and making transitions in college or careers. I’ve also worked in community clinics, college counseling centers, and private practice, giving me insight into how people come to therapy and what it takes to create space for genuine healing. Outside of therapy, I’m actively involved in advocacy to enhance access to mental health care—especially in making it more affordable and culturally responsive. I’ve also consulted with organizations to develop employee wellness programs, EAP services, and strategies to improve morale and psychological safety in the workplace using evidence-based psychological principles. I value meaningful connection, curiosity, and staying grounded in the everyday aspects of life. When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me reading something compelling, gaming, sports, politics, spending time with loved ones, or relaxing with Sigmund—my Boston Terrier and dedicated sidekick/demon. I recharge through good conversations, spontaneous drives, and quiet moments by the ocean, especially down at South Padre Island. My clients describe me as warm, fun, and collaborative. I’ll meet and accompany you where you are as we navigate where you want to go. There is no pressure or judgment—just sincere support for the growth and change you’re ready to embrace. I’d be honored to work together if this resonates with you.
