More Than a Therapist

You can love your life, deeply love your people, the life you've built, and still be completely at war with your own head. Gratitude and anxiety sure do exist at the same time. You can have everything you wanted and still feel like you're somehow not doing it right, not doing it enough, not doing you enough. You can love your life and still want it to feel different. That's not ungrateful. That's human.

The pressure to be everything to everyone. To show up perfectly at work, at home, in your relationships. To have it together because honestly, things are good, so why does it still feel this hard?

Nobody tells you that understanding anxiety doesn't make you immune to it. The transitions you planned for can still knock you sideways. Motherhood can be the greatest thing and the hardest thing simultaneously. Knowing perfectionism is a trap doesn't free you from it. You can accomplish everything and still not feel like enough. And that wanting more, even when life is good, is not something you need to apologize for.

I started my clinical training at Parkland Hospital in the Psychiatric Inpatient Unit and Emergency Department meeting individuals exactly where they are. From there I built my practice doing the work I love most: sitting with high-achieving anxious women and moms who are tired of white-knuckling it.

I believe the relationship you have with your therapist is a very important factor in how successful therapy will be. Not the modality, not the credentials, not the office decor (although mine is really cute). The relationship. Which is why I show up as myself every single time, because you can't do real work with someone you don't actually trust.

I received my Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington and completed my clinical training at Parkland Hospital, where I later worked as well for 5 years. I pull from a range of approaches that I am trained in, CBT, DBT, ACT, ERP, and EFT, using whatever actually fits what you need. Because you are not a one-size-fits-all situation and your therapy shouldn't be either.

You will be sitting (or laying down if that's your vibe) across from someone who gets it from the inside. Most of my clients find that's exactly what makes the difference.

Honesty, compassion, and a genuine drive to actually get things done with a side of humor and sass. We go deep when we need to, laugh when it's called for, and build real coping skills to use in your actual life. Not someday. Now.

Anxiety is hard. Mom life is hard. Not feeling like enough is hard. Wanting to be everything to everyone while also trying to hold onto yourself is really hard. You don't have to have it together before you reach out. You don't have to know what to say or how to explain it. You just have to be ready to do something about it.

Individual therapy for women who are ready to actually meet their goals — not just talk about them. I will listen, support you, and challenge your thinking. We will shift the patterns that are keeping you stuck, build practical tools you can actually use, and create real change that sticks.
