I work with people who are trying to make sense of themselves when things that once felt certain start to shift. I’m especially drawn to working with LGBTQ+ folks and people questioning their faith, identity, relationships, or what they thought their life was supposed to look like. You may not know where those questions are taking you yet. That’s okay. We can start with what’s here.
You don’t need another person telling you what you should do, what you should believe, or who you should be. Sometimes you just need somewhere to think out loud.
I’m not here to choose a label for you or tell you what decisions to make. I want to understand your story, help you sort through what matters to you, and give you room to say the things you may not be ready to say anywhere else.
I’ll bring a lot of curiosity to our work, and I’ll probably ask you to get pretty comfortable with the gray areas. We may not find quick answers to every question. That’s okay. The goal isn’t to replace one set of answers with another. It’s to help you trust yourself more as you figure out what feels true to you.
My approach is trauma-informed and holistic, with practical tools from CBT and DBT when they’re useful. That might mean learning to work with anxiety differently, noticing patterns that keep showing up in relationships, building stronger boundaries, or understanding how past experiences are shaping what feels possible now.
A lot of our work may also involve identity and self-trust. When you’ve spent years looking outside yourself for the “right” answer, figuring out what you think, want, and value can take some practice. We can make room for those questions without rushing to resolve them.
Areas of Focus:
When I’m not working, I’m usually hanging out with friends, trying somewhere new to eat, or finding a new coffee drink to try. I genuinely enjoy grocery shopping (yes, actually grocery shopping), and HEB is probably one of my favorite places to wander around. I’m also a big reader with a pretty eclectic taste. I tend to pick my books based on the season, so you’ll usually find me reading something that matches whatever time of year it is. I love dystopian books, but I’ll happily jump between genres depending on my mood. I’m always up for a good book recommendation. I’m a huge animal person, too, which means I’m always happy to see pictures of your pets. Feel free to show me pictures of your pet! If I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life, it would probably be an egg, cheese, and potato breakfast taco. I don’t think I’d get tired of it and I will almost always find room for a little something sweet afterward. I’ve always believed that the little things matter. A good meal, a great book, time with friends, or a really good cup of coffee might seem small, but those are often the things that make life feel a little more like your own.
A quote that guides me:
“Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it’s having the courage to show up when you can’t control the outcome.” — Brené Brown
