Not everyone grows up in a world that makes room for them. Maybe you’ve been told you’re “too much” or “not enough.” Maybe you’ve spent years trying to fit into spaces that were never built with you in mind. If you’ve felt like an outsider—whether because of gender identity, neurodiversity, past trauma, or simply never feeling like you belonged—this is a place where you don’t have to explain yourself. Here, you’re understood.

Therapy for Those Who Feel Overlooked
I’m a 5th-generation Texan, but my journey has taken me far beyond state lines—from New York City to England, and back again. These experiences have shaped the way I see the world and deepened my passion for working with people who feel like they don’t quite fit into the spaces they’ve been given.

I work with LGBTQ+ clients, neurodivergent individuals (especially those on the Autism Spectrum), and anyone who has struggled to find belonging. My approach is Person-Centered, meaning I meet you exactly where you are, without judgment or expectation. I specialize in EMDR for trauma, play therapy, and LGBTQ+ affirming care—all with the goal of helping you process the past, navigate the present, and build the future you want.

Why I Do This Work
I learned early in life what happens when emotions are silenced, and I don’t want anyone else to feel that kind of isolation. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about giving you the space to express yourself safely, fully, and without fear of rejection.

With a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Amberton University (2010), and previous studies at Abilene Christian University (BA in History and Journalism) and New York University (MA in Cinema Studies), my background is as eclectic as the clients I serve. I believe in therapy as an evolving, collaborative process, where you set the pace and define the goals.

Finding Joy in the Little Things
Outside of my work, you’ll find me watching a great film, catching up on sleep, or spending time with my cat—simple joys that remind me of the importance of rest and self-care. I love traveling the backroads of Texas with my family, exploring the places that feel like home. In my younger years, I traveled the world, but these days, I’ve learned the beauty of staying close to what matters.

Let’s Redefine Where You Belong
