What's My Approach to Therapy?

If you’re searching for a therapist, you may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or unsure where to begin. Life changes, grief, chronic illness, or ongoing stress can quietly build until something feels off. You don’t need to have the right words yet — just a willingness to be supported.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and person-centered. I believe healing happens when you feel safe, understood, and respected. Therapy with me is not one-size-fits-all; we move at your pace, focusing on what feels most important to you. Together, we’ll explore patterns, build self-compassion, and develop coping skills that feel realistic and sustainable.

I use evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based care, while remaining flexible to your unique needs. I work primarily with adults navigating chronic illness, grief, life transitions, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but struggling internally — therapy offers a place where you don’t have to hold it all together.

Healing isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about reconnecting with who you are and finding steadiness, clarity, and resilience — one step at a time.

My Practice & Services

My practice is designed to be calm, intentional, and supportive from the very first interaction. I offer virtual therapy for adults in Texas, creating accessible care without the added stress of travel or long wait times.

Sessions are collaborative and tailored to your needs. I work proactively, meaning we’ll focus not only on processing what’s difficult, but also on building tools, insight, and emotional resilience you can carry into daily life. Therapy is not rushed, and there’s no pressure to move faster than you’re ready for.

I value clear communication, consistency, and thoughtful care. My goal is to create a steady space where you feel safe showing up as you are — even on the days when things feel heavy or uncertain.

My Role as a Therapist

My role is to walk alongside you - offering guidance, perspective, and support while honoring your autonomy. I'm here to help you understand patterns, develop coping skills, and reconnect with your inner strengths.

My Therapy Focus

I work primarily with adults navigating chronic illness, grief, life transitions, anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm. Many of my clients are high-functioning but feel stuck, disconnected, or exhausted beneath the surface.

How My Own Struggles Made Me a Better Therapist

Like many people, I've experienced life transitions, loss, and health challenges that reshaped my understanding of resilience and healing. These experiences deepened my empathy and reinforced the importance of meeting people where they are, without judgment or pressure to "move on" before they're ready.

They've also taught me that healing isn't linear - and that meaningful progress often comes from self-compassion, patience, and support. I bring this understanding into my work by creating a space that feels steady, validating, and human.

Why Going to Therapy Does Not Mean You are Weak or Flawed

Seeking therapy is a sign of self-awareness and courage. It means you're choosing to care for yourself, not because something is "wrong," but because you want support, growth, or clarity.

Importance of the Client-Therapist Alliance

The relationship is central to healing. Feeling safe, respected, and understood creates the foundation for meaningful change. Therapy works best when it's built on trust and collaboration.

The Duration and Frequency of Therapy

Therapy looks different for everyone. Some clients come for short-term support around a specific issue, while others engage in longer-term work. We'll decide together what feels most helpful and sustainable.
