Introduction
Healing begins when we turn inward with curiosity and compassion. Emotional distress is a sign that something needs to change. If you feel stuck or disconnected, it may be due to unprocessed pain or unmet needs that have become embedded in your mind and body. Areas I specialize in treating include:
Anxiety
Depression
Trauma
Relational challenges
Difficult life transitions
Through experiential approaches like Coherence Therapy and EMDR, and "parts" models like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Psychosynthesis, we can access and heal each area of your mind, fostering a sense of inner harmony by updating the emotional patterns that no longer serve you. These processes help you uncover new strengths and find relief through living with greater authenticity, balance, and self-connection.
Education and Experience
I am a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and I have a Master of Science in Counseling from Southern Methodist University with a concentration in trauma studies.
Some of my prior experience includes counseling inmates on mental health and rehabilitation, facilitating Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) group therapy, and providing individual counseling to clients with complex mental health needs.
Additionally, at the SMU Center for Family Counseling, I worked with adults, adolescents, and families, providing support and guidance across various issues. As a Nationally Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC), I gained two years of experience coaching men in undergraduate student organizations. I have also presented locally and nationally, equipping men with the tools and knowledge to enhance their wellness and strengthen the well-being of their organizations.
Before becoming a counselor, I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Arts from the Plan II Honors Program and a minor in Kinesiology and Health Education.
Personal Focus
Therapy with me is an active, collaborative process. I strive to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space for growth, balancing honest reflection with warmth and lightheartedness. Together, we will work to untangle the roots of your distress and build greater self-connection by exploring your inner world and healing from past experiences.
