​About me

​

Sometimes in life, we find ourselves feeling lost or stuck, or maybe we have experienced a great loss or trauma. While friends and family can offer support and solace during these times, sometimes people need more help.  Developing a relationship with the right therapist can offer a unique space to gain insight and work through issues is important. I strive to be a therapist that can help my clients grow and change in meaningful ways. I am passionate about helping clients identify and grow their unique, innate resilience to withstand adversity and thrive!  

​

I use an integrative, person-centered approach tailored to each individual's needs. Using my eight years of counseling experience, I collaborate with clients to develop an individualized plan based on their needs and goals. I aim to create a safe environment where my clients can better understand themselves and enact meaningful change.

​

I am trained in EMDR and passionate about helping people with trauma. I am also trained inI am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and enjoy helping people with insomina and other sleep related difficulties. Additionally, I am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and sometimes utilize DBT skills and concepts in therapy.

Background 

 

I am deeply dedicated to guiding individuals through personal growth and meaningful transformation. My practice focuses on trauma, dissociative disorders, ADHD, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and LGBTQ+ issues. I am particularly passionate about providing affirming care and fostering growth and resilience and in those I work with.

 

As a lifelong learner, I continuously seek out new training and skills to better serve my clients. I am certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and have advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), and  Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as well as Sexual Health in Recovery from Dr. Doug Braun-Harvey.

​

I am experienced in providing individual and group psychotherapy.  While I work mostly with adults, and people ages sixteen and older. Additionally, I am available for speaking engagements and professional trainings.

​

I earned my M.Ed. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Houston, where I gained invaluable clinical experience at the Montrose Center. Additionally, I conducted research at Texas Children's Hospital, focusing on coping mechanisms, resilience, and minority stress in marginalized communities.

​

After graduation, I spent five years at the Montrose Center, where I worked with survivors of trauma, addiction, depression, and grief, with a special emphasis on LGBTQ+ issues. I have also had the privilege of working with transgender clients as they navigate gender identity exploration and access gender-affirming services.

 

In my work, I recognize that relationships and attachments are unique to each person. I have experience supporting individuals in polyamorous, non-monogamous, and kink relationships, offering a judgment-free space for all.

​​​

II offer a free 15-minute consultation to determine if we're the right fit. If it turns out we're not, I’ll gladly provide referrals to other therapists who may better meet your needs.

​

Rates: $210 for 50 minute session 

I offer the option of an eighty-minute session for $280 for EMDR.

​

​

The above rate is the full fee this therapist charges for a standard 50 minute session. However, we do not want cost to be prohibitive of people getting the help they need. All of our therapists provide a portion of their services for a reduced fee to help those who can benefit from psychotherapy but might not be able to afford their full fee.
