I have a passion for giving a voice to marginalized members of our society and providing a safe space for my clients to tell their stories free of judgement. By establishing healthy relationships, I strive to make the counseling session a place where connection leads to healing.
Having adopted an integrated approach to counseling, I often utilize person-centered, Rational-Emotive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing approaches, allowing my client to lead the course of therapy while addressing underlying cognitive and emotional issues that contribute to their concerns. I have worked with adult and adolescent clients experiencing eating disorders, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and academic performance issues. I am a Certified Yoga Teacher and believe that the incorporation of physical interventions, such as yoga, is important to a holistic wellness perspective.
Originally from Texas, I moved here in 2017 with my husband and two German Shepherds. I enjoy yoga, hiking, camping, traveling, and spending time with friends and family!
