Helping you break down walls and reclaim the life you deserve with a compassionate, down-to-earth approach tailored just for you.

Life can be challenging, leaving you feeling stuck, powerless, or boxed in. I’m here to help you find the tools within yourself to break down those walls. Together, we’ll work toward reclaiming the life you deserve.

Who I Work With:

I enjoy working with adults, teenagers, and couples, especially those who identify as LGBTQIA+ or come from under-served communities. I primarily work with people who experience overwhelming and difficult to manage emotions, Gender and Identity exploration, communication concerns (both within yourself and others), transitioning into adulthood, and relational concerns. Additionally, I have worked with those who find difficulty in emotional expression and experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger, and stress stemming from systemic factors that often feel way beyond our control.

What A Session Looks Like:

In our sessions, I focus on collaboration and authenticity, creating a plan that aligns with who you are as an individual, a couple, or a family. I take a casual, down-to-earth approach, incorporating wit and everyday language to make our space make sense, feel comforting, and be real. With compassion and a person-centered focus, I aim to provide a secure validating environment where you can feel empowered, challenged, and ready to overcome whatever may be holding you back.

Therapeutic Approach:

Rooted in Rogerian framework, my work emphasizes realness, deep empathy, and strengthening your autonomy. My clinical work is influenced by Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Strength Based Interventions to help you in identifying and breaking patterns that no longer serve you. For my couples, my work is informed by my Gottman Method Level 1 training and use of Emotionally Focused Therapy interventions.

I invite you to bring all of yourself in the room with me! I enjoy getting to know who you are as a person, a couple, or a family. Therapy should be challenging, rewarding, awkward, funny, and entirely at your pace. The last thing I want is for you to feel you need to continue to wear a mask around me. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

About Me:

I graduated from University of Houston Clearlake with my Bachelor of Science in Psychology (2020) and my Master of Arts in Family Therapy (2024). I have had opportunities to work with a diverse set of populations in community clinics, local high schools, and boutique practices before comfortably landing here at TFH. I am currently under the supervision of Bianca Vincent, LMFT-S.

When I’m not in the office, you may find me watching a horror movie (which can help individuals overcome anxiety!), watching reality competition shows like Big Brother and Survivor, exercising, and doing my very best to cook. I also enjoy spending time with my friends laughing at literally nothing, playing video games with my brothers, and talking my partner’s ear off any chance I get.

I offer free 15-minute consultations. Ready to book an appointment? Schedule here!
