Serving Texas & New Jersey
I firmly believe in taking a holistic approach to therapy, honoring and affirming each client’s unique perspective of their world. Through a client-tailored approach, I customize my therapeutic methods, strategies, and interventions to meet the specific needs, preferences, and goals of each individual.
I view my work as both a passion and a privilege, and I approach each client with kindness, humility, and authenticity. I specialize in individual counseling for a range of concerns, including complex trauma, anxiety, and depression. I also support clients navigating life transitions, panic attacks, perfectionism, and relational wounds, with the goal of accompanying them toward psychological, emotional, and spiritual healing.
You are unique, unreapeatable, and have ineffable dignity
I practice an Interpersonal Process Therapy (IPT) approach, guiding clients through their relational dynamics and exploring attachment styles, family roles, and cultural influences. Committed to providing trauma-informed care, I use a relational approach in counseling, viewing the therapeutic relationship as a source of corrective emotional experiences. My therapeutic focus centers on empowering clients, emphasizing their individual strengths and dignity.
I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR), which I use to treat trauma-related concerns. I incorporate an Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach into EMDR sessions to support inner harmony and integration. Through this work, I aim to foster greater self-awareness, healing, and the integration of adaptive beliefs and internal resources.
A little about me...
Originally from the East Coast, I spent eight years in Dallas, Texas, where I earned my graduate degree in Counseling Psychology from Texas Woman’s University. I am now licensed to practice in both Texas and New Jersey, having recently returned to my roots. Outside of counseling, I enjoy reading, long-distance running, and cooking meals for family and friends.
