My background
I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Texas, and my path into this work has been shaped as much by life experience as by formal training. I’ve worked in mental health for over a decade including private practice, supporting people through seasons of loss, trauma, and change. Along the way, I’ve trained in EMDR and DBT-informed skills. I am certified in Religious Trauma and love working with attachment/relational trauma and parts work. At the heart of my practice is a relational and psychodynamic approach. That means I pay attention not only to the skills and tools that help in the moment, but also to the deeper patterns and stories that shape how you experience yourself and your relationships.
My view on counseling
I believe therapy is a place to slow down and truly feel seen. Many of us carry burdens from early relationships, faith communities, or past experiences that leave us feeling disconnected, unworthy, or “too much.” In counseling, we will work together to make sense of those patterns and create space for healing. My role is not to “fix” you, but to walk alongside you, offering steadiness, curiosity, and compassion as you reconnect with your values and discover new ways of being with yourself and others.
