Smart, driven teen girls and women are often praised for keeping it all together - even if it means secretly falling apart behind the scenes. There's a lot of pressure to be the best at everything you do, which means there is no room for mistakes, and definitely no room for self-care. You wind up feeling panicked, overwhelmed, frustrated, or depressed. You often worry about what others think of you, and wish you could turn off that little voice that is always telling you what a failure you are. You wonder if anyone else ever feels like this. You know this isn't exactly normal...but you're not sure what to do about it.

From the earliest moments of our lives, we are searching for and are in need of relationships and connection – it is in our early life where we begin to understand who we are, who others are, and what kind of world we live in. It is through this quest for connections outside of us that shades of Meaning, Purpose, and Creativity emerge within us. The quality of these aspects of life produces in us both wounds and liberties. Fortunately, therapy can be a place for us to gently and intentionally tease these qualities out toward a life and sense of self in line with your goals.

Licensed in Texas and Illinois. As we navigate our unique journey in life, sometimes additional support is needed along the way. My interactions with clients are grounded in compassion, respect, empathy, and an understanding of cultural impacts. My role as a therapist is to help educate and empower clients so that they develop the insight and skills necessary to overcome their own personal and situational challenges.

The weight is almost unbearable. The feelings of grief are draining. You try to remember all of the good times of the past, but the emotional sorrow is like a veil over your head. You can’t seem to focus, and part of you doesn’t want to. Reality is too raw to face right now. What you lost haunts you everywhere and every day. Logically, you know you need to move on with life, but it's too difficult no matter how hard you try. You pray. Beg God to take this pain away. People tip-toe around you, and you hate that your relationships have changed. You find comfort in this grief, but you desperately want it to end. When will it end?

Chances are it is a tough time if you are reading my bio. As someone who is personally familiar with loss, anxiety, or even depression, I very likely have a strong sense for what you are going through. I know life can be truly overwhelming at times. And, that it can be all too easy to find ourselves stuck in destructive patterns that leave us feeling ashamed and embarrassed, which is especially painful when we want so much more from life. It can be really hard to find hope and life-giving guidance to emerge from tough times stronger and healthier than you've ever been before. It can feel like clarity is an impossible dream.

Therapy is a space to feel well again and connect with yourself in a new way. You probably have many roles in your life, and taking care of your mental health may be the last thing on your to-do-list, but it is vital for your daily functioning.

Maybe you've believed every limiting thought you've had about yourself because you've been through some really tough times. I understand and my heart goes out to you. The good news is we can change this together. As your therapist, I create a nonjudgmental space to heal.

I embrace William James’ insight: ‘The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.’ As a dedicated mental health partner, my role is to walk alongside clients, guiding them in making choices that lead to emotional well-being. Many individuals grapple with thoughts that contribute to distressing emotions and problematic behaviors. I focus on helping individuals transform their relationship with these thoughts to cultivate a more fulfilling life. I use treatment methods, including ACT, DBT, and EMDR, to accomplish this.
