Seeking to navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, and relationship or self-esteem issues. Have a desire for compassionate understanding and effective strategies to improve you life. My approach fosters self-sufficiency through evidence-based methods, aiming for long-term wellness. With a background in supporting marginalized communities, I offer a safe, respectful space for diverse individuals to grow and thrive.

Our emotions, behaviors and relationships can be overwhelming to make sense of. Having the support of an unbiased perspective can help as we grow beyond the things that cause us discomfort. As a systems therapist, I understand the issues brought into the therapy in relation to the school, work, relational, societal and intergenerational systems involved. Yes, that does mean talking about your parents and how the messages you received in your family have shaped you. It also means talking about the ways culture, race, sexuality, work environments and history affect the ways we feel and behave.

We can sometimes find ourselves in a position of dissatisfaction with how things are playing out for us. We feel that our life should be going differently, or that things just don't make sense anymore. When our life is in disarray we may deal with sabotaging coping skills, arguments with friends and family, and have a negative view of ourselves that controls how we view the world. Going on a healing journey is important in changing ourselves and the environment we are currently living in. Change can be difficult but it is such a rewarding experience. Therapy is a tool to assist you in becoming the best version of yourself.

One of my favorite quotes embodies my approach to therapy. “Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul be just another human soul.” C.G. Jung Therapy can include warmth, humor, comfort, safety, and fun. As your therapist, I bring the playful spirit of curiosity and a deep love for the transformative power of therapy to our work. My approach is heart-based and guided by your interests, your insights, and your needs. Therapy with me is a collaborative process, and I often receive feedback from clients that they look forward to their sessions.

I research and write about the psychological and spiritual development of aging women and work almost exclusively with older women (50+).

Do you feel overwhelmed by keeping up with the demands of your daily life, or have trouble connecting even when around others? Maybe you've been told you are "too sensitive", or think that if you could just "toughen up" or change your perspective you would feel better. Well, I’m here to tell you that your feelings are valid, and they are important messengers from your nervous system telling you that some healing needs to be done. Facing life alone has a profound negative impact on our well-being. I will provide much needed emotional support while we explore what you need to feel safe and confident going into each day.

I specialize in utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people take active, specific steps to achieve their goals. CBT is an effective, scientifically-supported treatment that involves learning and implementing skills to achieve and maintain changes. Homework and goals are set collaboratively.

The process of therapy can be a place to explore patterns that can keep us stuck or create suffering in our lives. My aim is to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space that allows for this exploration to occur. This process tends to foster deeper insight and awareness, which leads to greater self-acceptance and more satisfying relationships. Part of our work together will be to identify patterns or obstacles that get in the way of your healing and progress. We will also collaborate to prioritize your goals and work at a pace that feels right for you.

Whatever you're facing, you don't have to face it alone. If you find yourself struggling to be understood, therapy with me can provide a safe and private space for you to talk through your thoughts with a supportive, confidential partner. All my work is LGBTQ+ affirming.

For people who struggle with anxiety and depression, other mental health problems, relationships, past or recent trauma, or attention issues, finding a good therapist can feel like an insurmountable challenge. Finding one who takes your insurance, is trauma informed, an LGBTQIA+ ally, culturally affirming, and actually "gets" you can feel like winning the lottery! We really want that for you. Live Oak Collective was founded with the goal of connecting dynamic therapists with Texans who want to heal, grow, change, and challenge themselves.

Questioning your sexual orientation or gender identity? Navigating a new diagnosis or questioning if you’re neurodivergent? The journey can be daunting, and having a therapist you trust can make a huge difference. I am passionate about supporting teens and adults in navigating life’s challenges with authenticity, curiosity, connection, and hope. I specialize in the intersection of mental health with LGBTQIA+ identities, with particular interest and experience in working with queer folks in eating disorder recovery.

Life often presents us with challenges that impact our emotional well-being. Sometimes, these challenges arise from our early experiences, shaping how we interact with ourselves and others. We may have learned to disconnect from our needs, emotions, or even from those around us. While these coping mechanisms may have helped us in the past, they can become limiting patterns that no longer align with our present desires and goals. Through therapy, we have the opportunity to update our inner templates and work through struggles, freeing us up to connect with our lives in the ways we want to.

Through the use of talk, music and other creative modalities we will explore and engage with the things that may be showing up for you in your every day life and create a supportive space for you to be truly seen and heard.
