Self Scheduling
My therapy style is trauma-informed, collaborative, and strengths-based, integrating evidence-based modalities to promote self-awareness, resilience, and sustainable growth. I emphasize empowerment, emotional safety, and practical skill-building to support lasting change. I meet patients where they are and use different approaches depending on what they need, always aiming to help them feel seen, heard, and empowered to work through whatever they’re facing.
Many of my patients have come in struggling with issues like past trauma, low self-worth, anxiety, depression, and difficulty managing stress. I also commonly see challenges related to unhealthy coping mechanisms, cognitive distortions, burnout, and navigating complex relationships or life transitions.
Patients often say that what sets me apart is my ability to create a space where they feel safe, seen, and not judged—no matter what they’re going through. They appreciate my down-to-earth style, sense of humor, and how I create a safe, nonjudgmental space while still challenging them to grow and make meaningful changes. Many patients share that therapy helped them feel heard, empowered, and capable of creating lasting change in their lives.

Personal Interests
I’m a huge Dallas Stars fan and absolutely love hockey—really, any level of the game! When I’m not watching the Stars play, I’m probably tending to my plants. There’s something really rewarding about caring for them, just like I aim to do with the people I work with!
