Life often asks women to hold so much—caring for others, navigating relationships, balancing responsibilities, and carrying silent struggles that can feel overwhelming. If you’ve been moving through an eating disorder, body image concerns, grief, trauma, fertility challenges, or simply the load of expectations, you deserve a place that feels safe, affirming, and collaborative. In our work together, you’ll find space to be fully seen and supported, with compassion guiding every step as you reconnect with your strength, your voice, and your true self. I offer a compassionate, collaborative space where honesty, care, and curiosity guide our work. Rather than quick fixes, I help you slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with parts of yourself that feel lost. Together, we’ll build safety and trust while using evidence-based approaches to support meaningful, lasting healing. Here, every part of you is welcome—your questions, your grief, your dreams, and your story. This is a place to release what you’ve been carrying, to feel deeply supported, and to rediscover your resilience. I'll honor your process, creating space for healing, growth, and a return to you, but an updated you that feels in alignment with where you see yourself.

Whether you are struggling with concerns from the past 10 years, 10 months, or even 10 hours, the past does not have to define your future. Change IS possible! Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. My therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.

I am Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with a Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have extensive experience with young adults and college-age students who are navigating life transitions, stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or school-related challenges. My background includes supporting clients as a career development counselor, guiding them through career exploration, adjusting to college life, and maintaining balance between personal wellness and career success. I’m passionate about helping clients build confidence, manage change, and develop the clarity and resilience they need to move forward in both life and career. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and focused on helping you feel seen, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change.

I am training to become a Play Therapist, these skills can be used with children or teen, though I also aim to use those skills with adults as well. My space has plenty of toys and items to encourage therapeutic growth. In addition, I use the scientific methods of Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavior therapies to assist in the growth of each person. This is my philosophy when it comes to our therapy sessions and my own life; Laughter, play and accountability allow us to create, and live healthy and meaningful lives. No matter your struggles, your child's concerns, or the hurt within your family: I will do my very best to ensure you are heard and you gain the appropriate tools and skills needed.

My Ideal Client: You’re someone who feels deeply, overthinks often, and is trying to hold it all together—even when it’s hard. Whether you’re a teen navigating friendships and self-esteem, a parent trying to support your child through family conflict, or an individual feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, you want support that’s real, compassionate, and effective. You may not have all the answers, but you’re open to exploring what’s next. You’re ready to feel heard, gain tools to cope, and take meaningful steps toward feeling more confident and connected.

There is no magic button or quick-fix solution when it comes to making a change. I find that I am the best fit for individuals who are looking to enhance their emotional well being and want to challenge themselves. I specialize in helping individuals struggling with life transitions, depression, and anxiety. My therapeutic approach considers clients to be the experts in their life, with my role as a guide to help uncover negative patterns and work towards positive change.

I currently have immediate openings for teletherapy and I also offer walk-and-talk sessions at the San Jose Rose Garden. I am licensed in both California and Texas. I have more than ten years of experience working with adolescents and young adults. I most frequently help my college-aged clients navigate the challenges of anxiety, depression, ADHD, executive dysfunction, giftedness, self-esteem and body image issues, relationships, grief, disordered eating, and trauma. I specialize in, and especially enjoy working with, ADHD, gifted persons, and college-aged young adults. As a private practice clinician since 2012, I take an affective, strengths based, approach to therapy. I practice cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems therapy, trauma-informed care, dialectical behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. I work with individuals and families, and I facilitate an LGBTQ+ inclusive group for college-aged young women and non-binary persons. My style of therapy is centered, relaxed, and collaborative. It is vital to my practice that clients know they are talking to a real human being, and my client-therapist relationships are built on mutual trust and safety. I believe that mental healthcare should be holistic. To get at the whole person, I like to explore the interplay between movement, nutrition, sleep, and time spent in nature. And because mental health impacts so much of our lives, I often advocate for my clients and help coordinate support with other academic and healthcare professionals. I strongly believe that mental healthcare should be accessible and easy to navigate for everyone. I welcome clients from all communities, backgrounds, and walks of life. Outside of my home office, I am an avid hiker and eater of takeout. I’m learning to surf, and my favorite part of every day is spending time with my sixteen-year-old wiener dog.
