I’m excited you are considering making counseling a part of your journey. I believe it is a true honor that individuals and families allow me to walk alongside them as they navigate the hard parts of their story.  There are so many challenges we face in life and therapy can be a great place to help navigate whether you are a child, teen or an adult. Our stories and experiences matter and they are continually shaping us into the people we will be tomorrow.

In my office you will feel seen, heard and capable as we work together to navigate emotional experiences and challenges you are facing. My therapy style is warm, fun, and playful. I utilize sandtray, expressive art, play, media, and games into our therapeutic work. I love coming up with creative new ideas to help clients through trauma and hardship. I tailor ideas and creativity to each client based on their unique strengths and interests. I strive to help clients heal with their mind, body and spirit through the following techniques: play, yoga, mindfulness, trauma narratives, grounding, and creative art.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), among my areas of expertise are grief and loss, attachment, play therapy, trauma, anxiety and depression. I am a TBRI practitioner and utilize an attachment and neurobiology lens when working with clients. I also utilize EMDR. 

I spent 5 years working in school based mental health with students k-12 and staff, prior to that I worked in an in-patient psychiatric hospital. I received my Masters of Science in Social work from the University of Texas at Austin (Hook 'em!) and also hold a Bachelors of Arts in Family Studies and Human Development.
