My training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, family systems, shame resilience and The Daring Way(tm) will help light the way forward; whether we work individually or alongside your loved ones.
Reaching out for help can be terrifying especially when we're hurting. Throughout the past decade I've worked with University of Houston's Graduate College of Social Work, Menninger Clinic, The Council on Recovery and Montrose Center. I have specific interest in working with men and couples who are looking to deepen intimacy within themselves and in their relationships. As an educator and clinical supervisor, I offer guidance to students as they establish and fine-tune their love for this work. I commit myself to co-creating a therapeutic environment where safety and growth are of top priority. We are in this together.

I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral, Psychodynamic/Humanistic, and Solution Focused Therapies, including, DBT, Matrix, CBT, Seeking Safety, Family Systems, and more.
Welcome! I provide support, compassion, and expertise to guide you in the process of self awareness. I provide a warm environment that encourages you to realize your full potential. I believe we all have the capability to create the life we want to live. I will help you discover what blocks your life's development. Counseling is an evolving process, which does not happen along the same path for each individual. However, most clients strive for the same thing, "to be happy." I work in a collaborative, strength's based fashion to help you improve your life and your relationships. Life truly can be Content.

Because each client’s goals and path are unique, I employ an eclectic, client-centered approach to therapy founded in Feminist and Narrative therapies, Family Systems Theory, and Attachment Theory.
I am, first and foremost, interested in working with people as people, not as their diagnoses. As a fellow human and collaborative therapist I'm interested in meeting my clients where they're at with whatever they are facing. As an ADHD-er myself I particularly enjoy supporting other neurodiverse folks traversing this neurotypical world. I am also passionate about supporting other therapists through the challenges they face as caregivers and humans.

I utilize a humanistic approach through a broad range of counseling theories including solution-focused, family systems, and strength-based trauma informed care.
As a client, you can expect authenticity and curiosity from the beginning. I believe you are the expert in your life, and it is our job together to work towards your goals while building a happier, healthier life. We all face overwhelming challenges, but a supportive and trusting therapeutic relationship can foster change and healing.

I combine the use of art therapy with regular talk therapy, writing, meditation, IFS (Internal Family Systems), and somatic awareness.
As a therapist, I strive to provide an accepting, genuine, creative, and hands-on way to process loss, trauma and overwhelm. Maybe the past is not allowing you to move forward, or worry about the future makes you feel stuck. Perhaps you have lost a loved one, or your health, or a job, or an important relationship. Perhaps you are looking for a way to express yourself fully and integrate your experiences, but need structure and guidance to do so. I offer art therapy sessions in both individual and group format.

The practice of being human is utterly challenging and incredibly complex. I offer empathetic support for individuals, couples, and families who frequently fall back into their own negative thought patterns and family dynamics. Using a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Psychology, and a Family Systems approach, I can help you recognize and better understand how an individual action may affect yourself and others.

I use therapeutic approaches such as narrative exposure therapy for PTSD, mindfulness, internal family systems (IFS).
My practice focuses on trans, nonbinary, and gender expansive adults who are facing hardships related to trauma. I offer a validating and accepting space where you can gain a deeper understanding of how life challenges have impacted the mind and body, and develop tools to love and accept yourself. I am neurodivergent affirming and create a treatment environment that honors the neurodivergent experience. I treat adults struggling with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, chronic health conditions, relationships, and identity. As a trans person I prioritize working with the trans community and especially transfeminine individuals.

Deep inside of you is the awareness of what you need to heal. I help facilitate and unearth that inner wisdom with individuals, couples, and groups. Together, we'll practice tuning into your own unique embodied awareness. From there, we can translate that increased clarity into tangible action that aligns with your greatest, most authentic wellbeing. Our bodies exist within larger systems — many of which can disconnect us from ourselves and each other. We'll look together at the messages we've internalized from these systems in order to unearth the ones that are no longer helpful.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
