About

I am licensed in Texas and Oregon with experience worming with a variety of issues. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

My foundation for working with clients comes from Person-Centered and Gestalt therapies. I align with the belief in each individual’s ability to gain self-awareness in order to make positive changes, draw from inner resources, make informed choices, and move towards desired and self-determined goals. My role as a therapist is to guide and support you in discovering your path forward.

From this foundation, I often integrate techniques as best suited to my clients’ specific needs; in this sense I consider myself to utilize an overall integrative approach. I often draw techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement and Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Collaborative Problem Solving, Solution Focused Therapy, Reality Therapy (REBT), Smart Recovery, and Narrative Therapy.

My goal is to provide the best possible services to each client, and I adapt my treatment plans to each client’s specific needs. While you may encounter obstacles and difficulties, including some discomfort, as we navigate the process of change, I believe you can experience remarkable growth in the journey. If at any time you are not satisfied with your experience in therapy, please discuss your concerns with me. I am here for you and want this to be the best possible experience for you.
