Helping clients grow and thrive is an honor for me. Life’s transitions can feel overwhelming. They can leave us feeling disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. Whether you're navigating grief, divorce, burnout, relationship strain, or a significant personal loss, through therapy, I offer a space to pause, reflect, and begin rebuilding with intention.
I work with clients in the Houston, Texas area in person or virtually, across the state of Texas. Insurance use is available and welcomed.
Before becoming a counselor, I spent 15 years in the classroom as a teacher and I also worked as a CPS agent and caseworker with both The Harris Center and Communities in Schools. Those experiences gave me a level of understanding for how complex people’s lives and stories truly are.
Whether I am spending time with my four children, fishing, hiking, or playing with my dog and my chinchilla, I strive to find joy in everyday life. I carry that same hopefulness and resilience into my therapy sessions to help my clients find their sunshine.
My therapeutic orientation is integrative, but is grounded in person-centered principles, emphasizing collaboration, empathy, and a strong therapeutic relationship. I approach each client’s experience within the broader context of their relationships, environments, and life roles. My work is informed by systemic and family systems theories, allowing us to explore how your relationships, boundaries, and interactional patterns may be contributing to your concerns. Drawing from Structural Family Therapy concepts, we can examine patterns that maintain distress while identifying opportunities for growth and reconnection.
In practice, I incorporate evidence-based interventions including:
My approach is trauma-informed and culturally responsive, with an emphasis on helping clients develop insight, regulate emotional responses, and engage in meaningful behavioral change that aligns with their personal values.
Part of my clinical training includes experience supporting individuals experiencing acute mental health concerns within a crisis residential treatment setting. In this environment, I developed competencies in:
I have also received supervised clinical training in grief and bereavement recovery, relational disruption, and emotional regulation. With this training I focus on fostering emotional safety, as well as strengthening accountability, and examining internal narratives that may shape how individuals understand attachment and relational navigation.
As a Clinical Mental Health Counselor, my work is guided by ethical standards and an ongoing commitment to continued education and professional development. My clinical framework reflects both evidence-based practice and systemic understanding. This allows me to support my clients as they heal within the full context of their lives and relationships.
I look forward to an intake call, and getting to know you and be there with you through your journey.
Areas that I specialize in include grief and bereavement, divorce and separation, professional frustrations, traditional relationship challenges as well as alternative relationship challenges. With personal and clinical experience in these areas, I have the ability to hold space for you and walk with you through processing your lived experiences.
I aim to provide affirming care and to create a supportive environment where your lived experiences are respected and understood. Together, we work to process loss, strengthen emotional connection, and develop sustainable coping strategies that promote resilience and meaningful change.
Beginning therapy can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. I would love to walk alongside you as you move toward healing, clarity, and renewed emotional well-being.
Providing a compassionate space to process the multifaceted experience of loss, helping you integrate your grief and find a path toward healing.
