Dallas Clinical Director

(Addison/Telehealth)

When I entered motherhood, I already had my preconceived expectations and experiences planned. Four months after my first born I suffered from postpartum anxiety. As a clinician I was familiar with the ugly face anxiety demonstrated but for some reason I thought I was exempt. Being a mother is the most challenging and rewarding experience one can endure. It is vital for you to understand the  support and resources available. It is my duty to hear your voice and walk alongside you.

It is my goal  to create a therapeutic environment that fosters empowerment, connection and change. While breaking detrimental patterns of generational cycles, shame, anxiety, trauma and other emotional/mental obstacles.

I have training and a specialized skill set in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trust Based Relational Intervention, Trauma Informed Care and Solution Focused therapy. By integrating these therapies, I provide a personalized, tailored approach to meet your needs and unlocking personal growth.

I am honored to sit alongside you and help you gain insight needed to be your complete, authentic self. Choose you  today, because I have. I look forward to working  with you.

Who am I?! When can I breathe again? When can I be the person I used to be? I want to go back to my normal life, but I don’t want to be judged because of it. I love my child(ren), and also, I was so happy when it was just me. Is it even possible to find me again?

How many of you have had those thoughts pop in your brain once parenthood began?

Sometimes it’s easy to put yourself on the back burner and forget you’re a person too. So much so, you stop taking care of yourself, you begin feeling down, or just feeling over everything in general. Life transitions can be tough. The job can be demanding and feel isolating. As a mom of two kids, I needed someone to talk to about my daily journey, and wished to have someone who would listen.

I have now become that person and am here to lend an ear.

I have worked with a variety of clients, children and adults, who have experienced a myriad of challenges and obstacles. I am devoted to support and assist those in finding encouragement in life to change their situation or learn and build to grow within it. I want you to feel heard, understood and encouraged to see the potential that's inside! Minimizing yourself to ensure others are well serves no purpose. So let’s talk through it!
