couples counseling
Meet with me at a frequency that works for you to navigate relationship dynamics, process conflict, and build the connection and communication skills that bring you closer to the partnership you want. Available in-person in Allen, TX or virtually across Texas and Florida.
emdr therapy
Standing for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR is a form of trauma reprocessing that utilizes bilateral stimulation to assist the brain in tuning down the emotional charge from traumatic memories and forming new, more positive cognitions. EMDR is more structured than traditional talk therapy and involves less…well, talking! Available in-person in Allen, TX or virtually across Texas and Florida.

I’m here to normalize the fact that just because you’ve reached adulthood doesn’t mean that you know who you are, or that you’ll stay the same person the rest of your life. I offer a supportive space to reflect on your values, identities, and life experiences, helping you gain clarity and build a stronger sense of self along the way.

It’s vital now more than ever for the LGBTQIA+ community to have safe spaces, especially in the south. As a queer therapist, I’m passionate about providing this space for my clients.

Trauma can affect how you see yourself, others, and the world.

Being a teenager is HARD, and you deserve support that actually gets it. I work with teens navigating identity, relationships, anxiety, trauma, school stress, and the general chaos of adolescence. Sessions are a judgment-free zone where you lead the way. I'm here to listen, validate, and help you build skills that actually work for your life. Your privacy matters, and we'll talk about how to involve parents/guardians in a way that feels right for you.
more about sessions
the vibe
Come on in and take your shoes off, pick out your favorite fidget toy from my box of fidgets, and settle in under a blanket or with a pillow in your lap. Don’t worry, we never put on the big light here. Natural light and lamps only. We can color or play a game while we chat to help you feel more comfortable with opening up. Need a snack or some water while we meet? I’ve got you! And don’t forget to take some chocolate to-go.
Can’t make it in-person? No problem! I offer virtual sessions as well for Texas residents, which means we can work together even if you aren’t in the DFW area. For virtual sessions, I encourage you to cultivate the same cozy space for yourself. Pets encouraged to join!
my therapeutic approach
I am a client-centered therapist at heart, and I believe that meaningful therapy begins with a strong therapeutic alliance. When you feel safe, supported, and able to be vulnerable, real growth can happen. My approach blends mindfulness, self-compassion, parts work, and emotion-focused interventions to help you understand yourself more deeply. While I also draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) for practical coping skills, my focus is ultimately on helping you create insight and lasting change, not just short-term symptom relief.
