Meet Our Team

I’m a Dallas-based full-time telehealth therapist in private practice, serving all of Texas. After completing my formal education, I spent 6 years working with eating disorders…

When I’m not at work, I am more than likely doodling and starting art projects that I may or may not finish. I love music, going to concerts, camping out in Half Price Books…

My work with clients is collaborative, client-centered, and trauma-informed … It’s such a gift when somebody trusts me enough to request that I join them on their journey.

I have a passion for helping others and walking alongside individuals in the healing process. I believe very strongly that we all deserve to be treated with dignity.

In addition to trauma work, I specialize in the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders, using EMDR as an adjunct. My counseling style is collaborative, scientifically informed, and empathic.

We all deserve to experience becoming our most healthy and vibrant self. Through our work together I aspire for you to move towards that reality and gain a deeper knowledge of self.
