The most important element for positive change in a person’s life through therapy is the therapeutic alliance. This is why I will work with you to ensure you agree with treatment, goals, and a positive bond can be formed. I have the utmost respect for all clients who reach out for guidance. I understand the courage, perseverance, and vulnerability it takes to begin therapy. As a licensed clinical social worker, I take a kind, nonjudgmental approach so that you are better able to recognize what you need from sessions. I am not there to tell you what to do or how to do it, but rather to guide you in figuring that out for yourself. I will meet you where you are. I have worked with clients experiencing a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, substance abuse, life transitions, grief and loss, relationship issues, academic stress, and more. I am flexible and curious and will tailor treatment to you. I have experience with cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. I am trauma-informed, humanistic, and culturally sensitive. In addition to the private practice setting, I have spent three years working in the acute inpatient psychiatric hospital in Austin. I received my Bachelor’s of Arts from Lewis & Clark College and my Master’s of Science in Social Work from Steve Hicks School of Social Work at the University of Texas-Austin. I strive to not only understand my clients but also the different systems in which they operate, from home to work, to school, and beyond. I have a strong commitment to social justice and empowering clients to create positive change in their lives. Whether you are seeking therapy for the first time, or already have some familiarity with therapy, I would be honored to be the clinician to accompany you on this journey towards improved mental well-being and self- understanding. We have online scheduling and eveningweekend online appointments are available. Schedule an intake session by clicking the link to our web page and selecting “Schedule Now” at the top of our page.

Reaching out for professional help is the first and often most difficult step of the change process. Change can be scary at times. With change and asking for help, a person opens the door to HOPE. Hope is the belief that tomorrow can be better than today, and that it will not always feel this way. Hope can come in many forms and from many different parts of your life. I advocate for prioritizing mental health just as you do your physical health. I believe that every person has the right to feel safe, feel heard and understood, and feel connected to another person in community. My goal is to offer my therapeutic assistance to help clients move forward with clarity and understanding. This is a collaborative effort between the client and the therapist. As a licensed school counselor in addition to my LPC, I have worked with adolescents, teenagers, and families for the past 18 years. As someone who has mental health concerns in her family, I know what it is to come to the point of needing help.  Counseling is not a job to me, it is a calling and a joy.

I work with clients of all ages and consider their culture, lifestyle, gender, and life experiences to determine the most beneficial treatment approaches for therapy. We work together to determine what goals you would like to accomplish through therapy, whether you are coming as an individual, couple, or family. It is important to feel comfortable with the therapist you choose to work with, so please do not hesitate to call me with any questions you might have. I look forward to your call!

Don't settle for a generic drug and alcohol therapist. You deserve help that actually helps you feel happy again. (And, that's in-network with your insurance). The program at this Symetria clinic goes beyond traditional therapy to treat everything hiding behind the drugs or alcohol — all while still living at home! Treatment here helps you rebalance your brain, create healthy thought patterns and heal underlying issues (like trauma, anxiety, depression or family conflict). In addition to our therapy sessions, you have access to our physicians. They help with any physical symptoms, including detox, anti-craving medications like Vivitrol or medications like antidepressants. Or...stick with therapy only. It's your treatment (and we actually listen).

Life can look fine on the outside while still feeling overwhelming, uncertain, or out of balance. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas, and I work with adolescents (16+) and adults who are navigating anxiety, eating disorders, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, caregiving stress, and the pressures of everyday life. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical, helping clients better understand themselves while developing tools to manage emotions, respond to challenges with greater confidence, and create lasting change. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and accelerated resolution therapy (ART), tailoring treatment to each person’s unique needs. Whether you’re facing a specific challenge or simply want to feel more like yourself again, therapy can provide a supportive space to move toward greater clarity, resilience, and peace.

Having experienced personal trauma and life’s challenges, I am passionate about creating a safe and compassionate space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to heal. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with four years of experience in mental health care. I support individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, mood challenges, and life transitions. I combine evidence-based medication management with supportive therapy to promote healing and long-term well-being. I am dedicated to creating a compassionate, client-centered environment where people feel heard, understood, and empowered on their journey toward mental health.

Are you struggling to deal with your anxiety? Have you had trouble sleeping because you can't get your brain to shutoff and let you rest? Do you feel like you're so depressed you can't deal with anything else but just go through the motions? Is the grief overwhelming you? Consider reaching out to me because I can help you. Therapy with me is an empowering experience because I don't just focus on all the problems you've got going on. I focus on your strengths, the things you're already doing to help yourself because believe me, you're doing them; you just need a little support to help bring them to the center. Together we'll take your strengths and use approaches like EMDR and Somatic Experiencing to help release pent-up emotions tied to painful memories and unhelpful thought spirals. As those painful memories are released, you'll feel better, lighter, and more easeful. Things in your life will improve and it really won't be that much work to do so. I'm a warm and curious in my approach and would be delighted to help you break free from what's holding you back so you can enjoy your life right here and now. Let me help you take your power back and thrive!

You served, and now you’re fucked. You spend your nights worrying about whether or not you did the right thing, about whether you’re failing your family, about how you and your spouse don’t connect anymore. You would have done this, and you should have done that, and oh shit what did I do, and those things haunt you at night. You’ve tried everything to get it done on your own because, hey, they trained us to be independent and strong, right? But you don’t feel strong anymore. And you don’t feel comfortable talking to anyone. A: you don’t want to relive it, and B: you’re not all share-y and interested in talking out your garbage.

As a nurse practitioner, I draw on my clinical knowledge and strong commitment to compassionate, client-focused care to create a secure environment where clients feel safe, seen, supported, and encouraged to heal. I am a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP)) with four years of experience supporting clients in managing their mental health through compassionate, evidence-based care. I provide treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, mood challenges, and life transitions. My work is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and respect, and I strive to help each person feel heard, understood, and supported throughout their healing journey.

I am passionate about working with clients that are seeking ways to improve their well-being and to promote meaningful connection in the relationships that are important to them. I find that our first session is most essential in establishing a solid client-therapist relationship which is why I like to learn a great deal about your background. While I gather family of origin information, my goal is not to stay in the past but to gain a better perspective of how you like to solve problems and to learn about your values and beliefs. I think it is really important that you feel respected and valued as a person. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can speak and think freely.
