When your relationship hurts, you hurt.

You try to communicate, but it always ends up in an argument. You're dealing with the same problems over and over again, but you can't find resolution. You're missing that feeling of closeness, intimacy, and passion. You want a better relationship, but you feel like you've tried everything to get it. Where do you go from here?

The relationship you want is within reach!

It takes dedication and conscious effort, but you can have the relationship of your dreams. As your couples or individual therapist, I want to help you identify the obstacles that keep you from having the life you want. That includes creating a healthier relationship with yourself, as well as with the important people in your life.

As your therapist, I want to help you...

• Understand the importance of your personal story and learn to write a more fulfilling one.
• Cope with overwhelming emotions like sadness, anger, and stress.
• Discover how to impact your thoughts, feelings, and worldview through mindfulness and self-compassion.
• Create a vision of your future that will guide your daily actions and keep you on track to the life you want.
• Inspire acceptance, love, and forgiveness.

I began my private practice in Denton, Texas in 2010 and transitioned to working full-time in Southlake, Texas in 2015. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, I went fully online to continue to provide my clients ongoing access to therapy. Since then, I have welcomed new clients into my practice and have decided to remain online as a telehealth provider for the foreseeable future.

I work primarily with couples, teens, and young adults from all over Texas. I welcome both unmarried and married couples and the LGBTQIA+ community. I often incorporate family therapy into my work with with teens and young adults.

From 2007 to 2011, I provided social skills groups and individual therapy in alternative education settings and an inpatient substance abuse treatment facility in Denton and Dallas, respectively. Working in this capacity has offered me extensive experience working with teens, especially those considered "at-risk."

In January 2009, I finished two years working as a contract family therapist for Youth and Family Counseling in Flower Mound, where I conducted therapy with a variety of individuals, couples, and families. I also participated in the First Offender Program, which offered family therapy as an alternative to legal consequences for teens under 17.

In the past, I have worked with foster children and their families, providing leadership and support, as well as in-home therapy and crisis intervention. I also have some experience working with domestic violence survivors, offering individual and group therapy, as well as crisis intervention.
