What's My Approach to Therapy?

You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or just tired of holding it all together. Maybe you’re longing for a deeper connection with yourself, with others, or with the world around you. If you’ve landed here, you’re probably ready for some kind of shift. As a therapist, I bring warmth, curiosity, and compassion into the room. I believe therapy should feel like a genuine human connection, one where you can show up fully, even in your messiest moments, and still feel deeply seen. I’m not a blank slate, and I won’t just nod silently while you talk. I’ll be with you, ask questions, bring humor when it fits, and help you make sense of things with kindness and clarity. I draw from mindfulness-based approaches, Buddhist psychology, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and other evidence-based tools to support you in building awareness, softening self-judgment, and creating lasting change. Whether we’re working through anxiety, relationship struggles, identity questions, or the weight of caregiving, I’ll meet you with presence and respect. This space is yours. We’ll move at your pace, honoring your story and your strengths. Healing doesn’t mean fixing yourself; it means coming home to who you are.

My Practice & Services

I believe healing happens through connection: with ourselves, with others, and with something larger. My practice offers individual, relationship, and family therapy with a focus on mindfulness, presence, and real, meaningful change. In addition to therapy, I offer workshops that explore contemplative practices, self-awareness, and relational growth. These are open to individuals and couples looking to deepen their capacity for connection and live with greater authenticity. Sessions are available both in-person in Houston and virtually across Texas. My office is designed to feel warm, grounding, and safe: a space where you can exhale and be fully yourself. I welcome people of all identities and lived experiences, with a particular focus on affirming care for LGBTQ+ folks, helping professionals, and those impacted by systems of oppression. Whether you're navigating burnout, anxiety, life transitions, or relationship challenges, this practice is here to meet you where you are.

I also specialize in working with parents, teachers, healthcare workers, and other helping professionals facing burnout, compassion fatigue, or role strain. My practice is inclusive, trauma-informed, and affirming of 2SLGBTQIA+ identities. I welcome clients exploring spirituality, mindfulness, and contemplative practice as part of their healing. I also support individuals impacted by systemic oppression, including racialized trauma, and those seeking culturally sensitive therapy.
