I work with individuals and couples navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, caregiver burnout, LGBTQIA+ challenges, and life transitions. I often incorporate bodily/somatic awareness and exercises into sessions. My approach is grounded in trauma-informed and polyvagal principles, Somatic Experiencing®, motivational interviewing, and strength-based perspectives. Together, we explore not only what hurts but also what helps by cultivating safety, self-compassion, and capacity as pathways toward healing. 

I grew up in Texas, and after high school, I had the opportunity to travel around the world and experience many cultures different from my own. I learned that there is no single “right” way to live or heal, that each culture and community finds powerful meaning in what works for them. Those experiences continue to shape my work as a counselor, where I strive to approach each client with openness and nonjudgment, and to tailor our work together to what feel most supportive. My goal is to create a space where clients can reconnect with their inner resources, restore balance, and move toward greater wholeness.
