How do you work with clients with anxiety?
I work with clients with anxiety through a compassionate, evidence-based, and personalized approach. In our first sessions, I take time to understand your symptoms, stressors, mental health history, current challenges, and treatment goals so we can build a plan that fits your specific needs. My care may include medication management, supportive psychotherapy, and practical coping strategies depending on what is most appropriate for you. I also focus on helping you build tools for emotional regulation, resilience, and day-to-day functioning. Throughout treatment, I provide a safe, judgment-free, trauma-informed space where you can feel heard, validated, and supported. My goal is not just to reduce anxiety symptoms, but to help you feel more in control, improve your overall well-being, and make steady, sustainable progress in your daily life.

How do you work with clients with anxiety?
I work with clients with anxiety by creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where they can feel safe exploring what they are experiencing. Together, we identify the thoughts, triggers, and patterns that may be contributing to anxiety, while also building practical tools to manage overwhelming emotions in daily life. Using a person-centered approach, I meet each client where they are and tailor treatment to their unique needs and goals. I also integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, solution-focused techniques to build on strengths and create achievable steps forward, and calming strategies to improve emotional regulation. My goal is to help clients feel more understood, confident, and empowered as they develop healthier ways to cope with anxiety and move toward lasting change.
I am dedicated to providing a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, understood, and supported as you navigate life's challenges. I believe deeply in the power of collaboration, working alongside you to identify meaningful goals and create lasting, positive changes. I am also an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community. I use a person centered approach to counseling as well as, integrating evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused techniques, and The Gottman Method for couples therapy.

How do you work with clients with anxiety?
I work with clients with anxiety in a collaborative, trauma-informed, and thoughtful way. Anxiety can show up in many forms, including constant worry, fear of recurrence, scan-related anxiety, hypervigilance, trouble relaxing, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed after a serious medical experience. I start with a comprehensive psychiatric assessment to understand each person’s symptoms, history, and current stressors, then develop an individualized treatment plan based on their needs. When appropriate, I prescribe medication to help reduce anxiety symptoms, and I use shared decision-making so clients feel informed and comfortable with their treatment. Because I offer medication management, I also coordinate closely with therapists and other providers to ensure care is well-rounded, supportive, and aligned with the client’s overall healing process.
I provide psychiatric evaluation and medication management for adults across Texas coping with the emotional aftermath of cancer, chronic illness, ICU stays, surgeries, and other life-threatening medical experiences. Many people feel blindsided by symptoms like fear of recurrence, scan-related anxiety, hypervigilance, grief, anger, or feeling misunderstood. This is medical trauma—and it is real. I offer trauma-informed assessment, diagnosis, and medication management in unhurried, collaborative sessions grounded in shared decision-making. As both a clinician and a two-time breast cancer survivor, I understand how medical trauma impacts identity, relationships, and daily life. My goal is to provide a space where you feel believed, supported, and equipped with evidence-based care and genuine understanding.
