Let’s work together!

A Space to Feel Heard, Understood, and Supported

Are you feeling overwhelmed, struggling with anxiety, carrying the weight of past experiences, or simply trying to make sense of where you are in life? Maybe you've spent so much time taking care of others that you've lost sight of your own needs. Perhaps you're navigating trauma, difficult emotions, family challenges, or a world that doesn't always understand the way you think and experience things. Whatever has brought you here, you deserve a space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment.

You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. My goal is to create a welcoming, compassionate environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported as we work through life's challenges together. I believe therapy should be about you and your experiences, your strengths, your challenges, and what you hope to gain from our time together.

How I Can Help

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I offer virtual counseling to children, adolescents, adults, and families in Texas, Florida, Colorado, and Louisiana. I work with individuals experiencing trauma, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, difficult life experiences, and challenges in relationships or family dynamics.

You may find yourself reacting to situations in ways you don't fully understand, feeling stuck in patterns you want to change, or struggling with experiences from your past that continue to affect your present. Together, we can explore what's happening beneath the surface, develop healthier ways of coping, and help you feel more connected to yourself and the life you want to create.

Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all, and I don't believe it should be. My approach is person-centered, individualized, and integrative. This means we'll work collaboratively to find what feels helpful and meaningful for you. Depending on your needs, I incorporate:

• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): Helping you process painful memories, trauma, and distressing experiences that may still be affecting your life today.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Exploring how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors connect so you can better understand patterns and create meaningful changes.

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Developing practical tools to manage overwhelming emotions, navigate stressful situations, strengthen relationships, and feel more grounded.

Sometimes our work will focus on what's happening in your life right now. Other times, we may explore past experiences that have shaped how you see yourself, others, and the world around you. We'll move at a pace that respects your comfort, readiness, and goals.

Celebrating Neurodiversity and Embracing Your Strengths

Have you ever felt like you experience the world differently from those around you? Maybe you've spent years trying to fit into expectations that don't align with how your brain naturally works. Or perhaps you're a parent or caregiver trying to better understand and support a neurodivergent loved one while managing your own emotions and responsibilities.

I have a special passion for working with neurodivergent individuals and their families, including autistic individuals and those who think, learn, communicate, or process the world differently.

I don't believe neurodivergence is something that needs to be fixed. Instead, I want to help you understand and appreciate what makes you uniquely you. We'll explore your strengths, interests, abilities, and even your neurodivergent superpowers, while also acknowledging the very real challenges of navigating a world that isn't always designed with your needs in mind.

For parents, caregivers, and family members of autistic individuals, I offer a supportive space to explore family dynamics, strengthen communication, better understand your loved one's experiences, and find ways to care for your own emotional well-being. You deserve support, too.

Whether you're learning more about your own neurodivergence or supporting someone you love, my goal is to help you move away from feeling like you need to fit a certain mold and toward feeling more confident, understood, and empowered to be yourself.

What You Can Expect From Me

You can expect someone who will listen with compassion, respect your experiences, and meet you where you are. I'll celebrate your progress, help you recognize strengths you may have overlooked, and gently challenge you when exploring a different perspective might help you grow.

You are the expert on your own experiences. My role isn't to tell you who to be or how to live your life. It's to walk alongside you, offer insight and practical tools, and help you discover what healing, growth, and fulfillment look like for you.

A Little About Me

Outside of the counseling space, I'm a wife, mom to three boys, and proud grandmother to my grandson. I enjoy getting lost in a good audiobook, watching Discovery+, spending time in my garden, and practicing yoga to help me stay grounded and present.

I'm also a big animal lover! Our home includes two cats, three chickens (with plans for more!), and more fish than I can count. Family, animals, nature, and finding joy in the little things are all important parts of my life.

Let's Take the Next Step Together

You deserve to feel heard. You deserve support. And you deserve a life that feels meaningful and authentic to you.

Whether you're working through trauma, learning to manage anxiety, navigating family challenges, exploring your neurodivergent identity, or simply looking for a space to reconnect with yourself, you don't have to do it alone.

You are welcome here, exactly as you are. I'd be honored to walk alongside you as you discover new possibilities for healing, growth, and a deeper appreciation for the person you already are.
