My Background
Building an authentic working relationship with my clients is at the core of my approach. I aim to foster an environment of safety where you can freely explore whatever you need, with a conversational, interactive, and person-centered approach. I’ve found that humor, when appropriate, can be a powerful tool, alongside harnessing individual strengths. Whether you’re processing trauma, navigating grief, or exploring your sense of self, I am here to support you as you seize your self-care and extend yourself the self-compassion you deserve as you rebuild a life that feels safe, fulfilling, and authentic.
My professional background includes clinical experience in behavioral health, trauma, crisis intervention, and psychotherapy, gained through work in private practice, in schools, and in psychiatric emergency settings. My approach integrates a variety of modalities, including Interpersonal Neuroscience, Attachment-Based work, Internal Family Systems, and Cognitive Processing Therapy, integrated within a Strengths-Based framework tailored to your unique needs. I will also be undergoing EMDR training in 2025 to further expand my trauma-informed practice.
A Few Fun Facts:
I am a genuine Texas girl with a deep love for Friday night football games, Blue Bell ice cream, and Tex-Mex! When I step out of the therapy room and I’m not busy embarrassing my family in the stands at their sports games, you’ll often find me reading, dominating in Mario-Kart, or on the hunt for new taco spots – I love new recommendations!
