About Me

I’ve known for as long as I can remember that I wanted to be a therapist. My journey officially began at the University of North Texas, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Sociology. I then moved to Austin, Texas, to attend St. Edward’s University, where I completed a dual-track master’s program in Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy.

Upon graduation, I successfully passed the licensing examinations for both the LMFT and LPC. Although I chose not to pursue LMFT licensure, my education and clinical training in Marriage and Family Therapy provided me with a strong understanding of family systems, healthy relationships, and the dynamics that can influence how we relate to ourselves and others. In addition, my more than seven years of experience working in professional childcare while completing my education has given me valuable insight into child development, family dynamics, and the challenges families can face.

My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, understanding, and a commitment to helping clients navigate life’s challenges and work toward meaningful healing and change. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I have also received training in Advanced EMDR protocols, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Attachment Therapy, and Play Therapy. I remain committed to continuing my education and expanding my knowledge of trauma-informed approaches so that I can provide thoughtful, individualized care for each client.

I specialize in working with individuals who are healing from the effects of trauma, including childhood abuse and neglect, experiencing or witnessing intimate partner violence, and recovering from narcissistic or emotionally abusive relationships. I also support clients navigating anxiety, depression, family-of-origin conflict, and healing after the end of a relationship.

I work with individuals across a wide range of ages, identities, backgrounds, and life experiences. I strive to create a supportive, compassionate, and affirming space where clients feel seen, respected, and understood. Whether you are working through the effects of past experiences, navigating a difficult season of life, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to help you better understand yourself, develop effective tools for coping, and move toward the life and relationships you want. I offer both in-person and telehealth appointments.

When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy practicing yoga, cooking, and spending time with my Goldendoodle, Luca.
