My background

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in the state of Texas and earned both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Baylor University. I have training in EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders, and hold certification in Integrated Behavioral Health.

My professional experience includes providing individual therapy to adults in integrated primary care, hospice, and counseling center settings. I have worked with clients navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, and relational stress. I draw from a variety of evidence-based modalities—including EMDR, CBT, and DBT-informed strategies—to create a personalized and effective therapeutic experience.

My view on counseling

I believe counseling offers a space to reconnect with your values, deepen self-awareness, and find clarity in times of stress, transition, or feeling stuck. My approach is collaborative and holistic, supporting each person’s mental, emotional, physical, and relational wellbeing. I aim to provide a steady, affirming presence while we explore your goals for healing and identify sustainable steps forward.
