I’m a licensed therapist and depth-oriented coach committed to helping people return to what’s real—especially when life has gone quiet, off-course, or numb. I help people navigate inner thresholds and outer change by returning to presence first—so that whatever they build next is rooted in clarity, direction, and integrity.
I don’t offer one-size-fits-all strategies or keep you circling in therapy for years.
I help you make real contact with what matters—then move forward with it.
I hold a Master's in Counseling from SMU and am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. My training includes EMDR, emotionally focused therapy, systemic therapy, somatic modalities, and existential/spiritual integration work. I’ve led teams treating complex family systems through addiction, dual diagnosis, and trauma recovery—and supported clients in office, at home, and in experiential settings.
Now I blend that foundation with a clear, presence-based method of support that respects your sovereignty while creating real structure and momentum.
I don’t offer one-size-fits-all support. Instead, I meet you where you are—whether you're in pain, in transition, or on the verge of something new.
In therapy, I offer a strong and stabilizing presence to help you process pain, clarify what’s happening beneath the surface, and return to vitality.
In coaching, I help you access vision, direction, and presence—not just to feel better, but to move forward with purpose.
My clients range from high-performing professionals to soul-searching seekers; couples on the verge of divorce and those ready to blossom into something deeper and more beautiful; teens and young adults finding their footing, their voice, and their own way forward. All share a hunger for something deeper: clarity, direction, and the ability to live from what truly matters.
This isn't about feeling better—it’s about living better.
You won’t find passive agreement or shallow tools here. Expect clarity, challenge, and someone who respects your strength and honors your soul. I’ll meet you honestly, walk with you steadily, and support the version of you that's trying to emerge.
Every real chapter begins with clarity. If you’re here, something in you is already reaching for more.
