With over 15 years of experience in clinical social work, my work is rooted in a passion to help my clients reach greater levels of self understanding and awareness, manage complex relationships and find peace in our sometimes anxious world. Whether dealing with grief and loss, a life transition or discerning next steps in life, I offer a safe space to process your emotions and find ways to move forward in a meaningful way.

My therapeutic approach is strengths based and solution focused, while integrating CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), and ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy). My clients often describe me as warm, compassionate and not afraid to bring humor into the therapy room.

Raised in Houston, I earned her Bachelor’s degree in sociology from Providence College and returned to Houston to pursue a Master’s in Social Work at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work. My clinical training internship was completed at Baylor College of Medicine’s Psychiatry Clinic, where I focused on psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy modalities.

Prior to establishing my private practice, I worked at Ben Taub General Hospital as a pediatric and emergency center social worker and later at Texas Children’s Hospital, where I served as the Gastroenterology and Liver Center Social Worker. My experiences in the hospital setting exposed me to a multitude of human behavior challenges and honed my skills as a compassionate listener and clinician.

When I’m not in the office, you can find me spending time with my husband and three children, catching up with family and friends, reading a good novel, working out, experimenting in the kitchen, or planning our next family travel adventure.
