Finding

clarity + peace

in your thoughts, emotions, and relationships

Navigating every day life is tough, and stress is inevitable.

While stress will come, how you handle stress can make a huge difference in the way you move through difficult life situations.

let's start this journey

I’m an extrovert who finds joy in music, playing pickleball with my husband and two daughters, and relaxing on the couch with our dog. I’m also deeply passionate about my work—supporting clients who are motivated for change but feel unsure about how to move forward.

Growth in the midst of struggle can feel overwhelming. Whether you're navigating work stress, family dynamics, life transitions, or new relationships, these challenges can impact your emotional well-being in ways that show up as anxiety, depression, difficulty in relationships, disordered eating, and more. Everyone experiences these struggles differently—and therapy can be a powerful space to sort through it all.

I believe therapy is a powerful tool for growth, helping people adapt and thrive—right where they are.


Life, work, and even our most meaningful relationships can be challenging. My goal is for every client to leave therapy with a deeper sense of resilience and self-trust. We may not be able to control the chaos or imperfection of life, but we can learn to navigate it with strength and clarity.

Therapy isn't about having everything figured out. It’s about finding a path forward—especially when things feel the hardest.

I’m dual-licensed as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas, and I’m a Certified Eating Disorders Specialist (CEDS). I work collaboratively with clients to help them untangle the stuck points, build insight, and take meaningful steps toward lasting change.


I’m the middle child of a family of five and have always been known to do my own thing.

When I’m not in my therapy chair, you’ll find me in one of six places:
        Spending time soaking up the sun,
        Coloring (poorly) with my two daughters,
        Cuddled up on my couch watching a movie,
        On a walk listening to music,
        Hosting friends and family,
        Planning for my next trip!

Spending time soaking up the sun, cuddled up on my couch watching a movie, snuggling with my precious pup, taking a bubble bath while jamming out to NSYNC, trying new restaurants with my girls, or planning for my next trip!

I grew up in southern California, and always had a feeling I’d be back some day. What I didn’t expect was falling in love with the state of Texas, as well as the community that I've worked with in Houston, Texas.

After more than 10 years of living in Texas, I’m so excited to be back in California and so grateful for the opportunity to work virtually still with clients the I’ve worked with over the years, and continue to support new clients in the Houston area who are in need of virtual services.

Hey There!

This is where the growth happens! I often meet with clients weekly for 45 minute follow up sessions where we can explore the pieces of life that feel more important to focus on and work on navigating difficult situations in a way that aligns with who you are as a person and what matters most to you.

let's start this journey

intake appointment

follow-up appointments

The intake appointment is typically 50-60 minutes, and is an opportunity for me to get to know who you are, what life experiences and interests have helped to shape you, and what you’re looking to work through in therapy. It’s also an opportunity to see if you feel like we’re a good fit! 

Going to therapy can be a hard, vulnerable thing to do. Especially when you're feeling overwhelmed and are beating yourself up for making mistakes.

Our work together isn't going to be me having all the answers, but rather helping you find a way to understand and be nonjudgemental about your emotions and guide you on finding a way to exist in this world with peace and grace and challenge the perfectionism.

all sessions are virtual

Safety and comfort

Virtual therapy offers a safe, private space to focus on your mental health.  Whether you're at home, in your office, or anywhere you feel comfortable, online sessions allow you to show up just as you are.
In times of uncertainty or when life feels overwhelming, the ability to access support from a familiar environment can be grounding and empowering. Virtual therapy also adds a layer of physical safety and flexibility, making it easier to prioritize your well-being—even on your busiest days.

Convenience

Life gets busy—and sometimes a little chaotic. Navigating parking, traffic, or finding the right space to decompress can add unnecessary stress. Choosing virtual therapy removes those extra hurdles, giving you more time and energy to focus on yourself.

Accessibility

If you travel for work, live in an area where therapy is less available, or even want access to support while away on a trip, virtual therapy creates an opportunity for you to have support regardless of your physical location.

and we’ve had to find alternatives to what has traditionally worked for us in many different facets- therapy is no different! While meeting in person for sessions can be of great value, virtual therapy has its own benefits worth noting.

the world has changed rapidly in the last years

What will the cost be? Will insurance cover it?

The cost will be $190 for a 60 minute intake and $175 for 45 minute follow ups.

While I don’t take insurance, individualized Superbills (to file for out of network reimbursement) will be sent out to each client monthly. 

Each client is different, and each therapy journey will reflect that. One factor that does impact time in therapy is engagement in the process- exploring options today is the first step! Therapy is intended to be temporary because the goal is to teach each client tools that will last forever, while helping to build resilience along the way.

How long will this take?

Like anything in life, there is no guarantee! However, there is a huge amount of research that shows that therapy is effective in helping us understand ourselves, our emotions, and ways to handle life stress. 

Will this work?

Not a problem! Not every client is a fit for every therapist, and one of the most important factors is the therapeutic alliance. If you don’t feel a connection, I’d be happy to provide referrals for other providers in the community.

What if I don't like you?

I am licensed in both Texas and California, which means I can see anyone who resides in either of those states! All of our appointments are done virtually - I don't have a physical office space! - and I'm a pro at working around timezone changes.
