My style of therapy is relational, respectful, and oriented toward supporting change when it's needed. There's not one way to do therapy because it's tailored to your needs and goals. I provide a safe place to talk through difficult things. For some that is grief work, for others it might be co-creating plans to treat a mental health issue, improving communication and coping skills, or figuring out how to navigate a difficult situation. Therapy can also be a place to get clearer about who you are and who you want to be.

I have decades of experience working with entrepreneurs, creatives, healthcare professionals, people with cancer and chronic illness, and families navigating "sandwich generation" complexities, sensory challenges, ADHD and child anxiety. I also enjoy working with students transitioning to college and/or adult life, and diagnose and treat anxiety, phobias, & mood disorders.

I currently offer telehealth sessions to Texas and Oregon residents and will be offering in-person sessions later this year in Portland. Professional interests include environmental and cultural influences on health and wellbeing. I welcome diversity in my practice including but not limited to body sizes, abilities, races, sexualities, genders, religions, and health statuses.

I hold a Master of Science degree in Social Work from UT Austin, where I also obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree with a concentration in Cultural Anthropology. I am licensed to practice clinical social work in both Texas and Oregon. I enjoy time with my family and friends, listening to and playing music, being in nature, eating Mexican food, & hanging out with my dog, Apple.

Reach out to set up an initial 15-minute call. It's free, and will help us make sure I'm the right match for your therapy needs and goals. I look forward to connecting!
