Therapy is about processing, healing, and making healthy changes in behavior. It is a great sign of growth when you no longer feel the need for therapy sessions; it means you were successful in making the changes you wanted. I take this approach to the therapeutic process to make our time together the most effective and efficient it can be for you.
I will be happy to talk with you about what you are looking for and the possibility of working together. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
I am originally from Dallas and have lived in several other states including Alaska. After receiving my undergraduate degree, I worked at an emergency shelter for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. Through this work, I learned how much I enjoy working directly with individuals on reclaiming their lives in whichever way that means for them - establishing a sense of safety or peace, feeling empowered or confident, or remembering the inherent goodness and wisdom that we all have.
This is when I decided to become a therapist. I chose a master's degree in social work because it is a helping profession guided by six core values including service, social justice, and recognizing the worth and dignity of every human being.

Everyone has mental health concerns at one time or another, and suffering is a normal part of life. Common challenges such as anxiety, depression, and addiction are not due to your personality or your character. Rather, they are learned patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. You are in control of changing this. My job is to collaborate with you on disrupting vicious cycles so that you can put your energy and attention into living a meaningful and purposeful life.
