In my 20 years of clinical experience, I’ve learned that therapy at its core is about recovering, nurturing and healing the relationship with the self. As an attachment-based therapist, this is my essential focus. I work with folks who are struggling with symptoms related to depression, anxiety, trauma, disordered eating/ eating disorders, and perfectionism. We start with building a trusting relationship where curiosity and self reflection are encouraged, and move on to exploring the specific life circumstances that have brought you to therapy. From a foundation of safety and acceptance, healing and growth are possible.
I earned my Masters of Social Work from Florida State University in 2006. I am fully licensed in the state of Texas and trained in several modalities, including EMDR and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I use a variety of methods based on what is needed and most appropriate for each client's unique situation.
My work is relational, collaborative and inclusive. My guiding principles, in and out of the office, are connection, curiosity, vulnerability, acceptance, and compassion. I am a real person with strengths and flaws, and also a seasoned professional with years of experience, wisdom, and a stash of helpful tools.
I'm here, you're worth it, let's get started.
