I’m passionate about creating an atmosphere of trust and safety where you can openly explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors without judgment. I actively engage in the therapeutic process and use a warm and empathetic style. Using experiential therapies, I will guide you through a transformative experience. Equally important, I will equip you with the tools needed to maintain your treatment gains. My background as a Licensed Professional Counselor allows me to help a wide range of people, my practice focuses primarily on: individual and couples therapy. Interpersonal relational issues, Eating Disorders, Addiction Recovery, Depression, Anxiety and Stress Reduction.

I’ve been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 1994 and in private practice since 1996, first in Victoria, Texas, and in Houston since 2001. I’m a Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapist and an Approved IFS Clinical Consultant, I’ve completed multiple IFS Level 2 trainings, and I serve as a Program Assistant for IFS trainings. I’m also Level 2 trained in Somatic IFS and Level 1 trained in Somatic Experiencing, EMDR trained, and a registered 200-hour yoga instructor, and I draw on psychodynamic and mindfulness-based therapies. I hold an MEd in Counseling Psychology from Texas State University, and as an LPC-Supervisor, I supervise LPC Associates earning their licensure hours.
