Is your teen having difficulty navigating stress, conflict, or their identity? As a result, do they often feel alone or misunderstood? The transition into adulthood can be tough, and many teens experience anxiety, confusion, low self-esteem, and challenges in their relationships. It’s normal to be overwhelmed by these emotions and need guidance when establishing lifelong skills for coping and stress management. As a nonjudgemental, strengths-oriented therapist serving teens throughout the Houston area, I aim to create a strong therapeutic relationship that empowers and celebrates each individual throughout the counseling process. While each client receives their own personalized counseling plan, I often incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques in therapy for teens. By fostering skills for emotional awareness and distress tolerance, these approaches promote resilience, self-compassion, and healthier relationships. I understand the specific pressures teens face, which is why I strive to create a warm therapy environment where issues like stress, anxiety, and relationship conflict can be approached gently yet effectively. With a diverse personal and professional background,I offer a unique perspective that facilitates a holistic sense of self-discovery among my clients.

My therapy experience includes working with a wide range of cognitive abilities and severity of diagnoses. My interests include working with issues involving anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, grief, stress management, marriage and family, process and psycheducational groups. I am trained in sand tray therapy and am a certified Prepare/Enrich premarital counselor. I am also trained in Level 1 Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I have a compassionate, collaborative approach, encouraging psychoeducation and mindfulness of cognitive and behavioral patterns, along with discovering meaning and purpose in life. I believe in meeting a person where they are and helping to facilitate change in their life. It is my goal to help my clients heal from their heart wounds and brokenness, discover ways to live out an authentic and purposeful life, and learn new ways to manage the stressors in their daily lives. I look forward to joining my clients on their journey of healing and discovery.

I'm so glad you are here. Taking the first step in seeking therapy, and the strength it takes to ask for help, is HUGE. I'm proud of you, for showing up for yourself. Finding someone to talk to, someone who will listen and someone you feel comfortable with, is crucial when you, or someone you love, is hurting or struggling. I believe we can all benefit from talking to an unbiased person that has our best interest in mind. My goal is to be that for my clients. As a therapist I don’t have all the answers, and that’s not my job, my job is to help you find your answers.

While I am recently licensed in Texas, I have extensive experience working as a counselor in both England and Scotland, where I did my counseling training. I received my Doctorate in Psychotherapy and Counseling from the University of Edinburgh. My doctoral thesis was on my work counseling clients who experienced grief after a pregnancy loss. Therapy is a truly personal experience. Therapy is not something done to a person, but rather it is created by the persons involved. In my work, I listen to how life's struggles are real for you. That is, what makes them personal. By staying with you and holding all that you bring, I hope to support the growth of this personal process. Facing distressing feelings requires trust and commitment from both client and counselor. Whatever your struggle, I offer you a safe, confidential space where I come alongside you, without judgement, in your attempts to better hear from and understand yourself. My passion is helping others to feel more aware of and compassionate within themselves, their lives, and their relationships. My approach to therapy is based in person centered and psychodynamic psychotherapy. What this means is that I work with clients in an interpersonal way, helping them to explore themselves, their current and past relationships, and unconscious blocks that prevent them from having the life and the relationships they desire. My practice is informed by neurobiology, and I strongly believe that therapy helps you to regulate your nervous system. A regulated/adaptive nervous system improves your mental and your physical health and is protective against chronic illness and mental health disorders. I don’t simply provide advice or quick fixes, instead I offer a space to talk about pain and where it may have originated, granting us insight into patterns of behavior which may have been useful in the past that now may be actually getting in the way of your health. I welcome all to my practice and believe that anyone - regardless of ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, spiritual belief, or economic standing – is valuable and I seek to provide the best care to all I see.
