About My Clients

Something seems–off. Maybe it starts small. Your energy is low, or you’re staying in bed just a little bit longer. It’s easier for you to listen to your inner critic than to accept compassion and empathy. You can’t remember the last time you felt relaxed or content with yourself. It’s harder to find the words to express your emotions and experience. You don’t ask for help since you are the one that no one worries about, because you take care of everyone else. Let's figure things out together.

My Background and Approach

I graduated from Texas Woman's University with an M.A. in Counseling Psychology. I've worked at multiple levels of care, and pull from these experiences often. I am passionate about serving those who have intersecting identities, as it is my mission to be for others who I needed when I was trying to navigate my identity development. I am here to witness you, validate you, and aid you in increasing your self-awareness. This is a collaborative experience, meaning we work together to accomplish your goals. I listen for patterns in behaviors, challenge that inner critic, and remind you to ride the wave of your emotions. During this time you’ll learn how to communicate with others, manage your emotions, and treat yourself with compassion. I’m going to be honest with you: parts of this will suck. But if you’ve read this far, there is a part of you that knows this process could help you heal. No matter how small that part is, we can use it to motivate you towards a place of growth.
