M.S., LPC-Associate

I have lengthy, unique experience working closely with children/adolescents and their families - most on the brink of seeking out of home placement for their child or reunifying after a mental health hospital stay. The circumstances were severe for these families and non-traditional therapy was often the catalyst to positive change.

TL;DR: I have seen the breakthroughs that can occur by trying something different and stepping outside the therapy box with a safe, supportive therapist.

I also partner with adult women. I am a woman-centered and LGBTQ+ affirming therapist - meaning cis and trans women, femmes, non-binary, and gender expansive people are welcome and celebrated here.

…if you value connection to nature, direct communication, and a genuine, warm relationship with your therapist (it is possible for therapists to act ethically while still showing up as a real human being!). I am laid-back, a little quirky, and always down to do an activity that connects nature with the work we are doing. Let’s work together if you don’t mind being challenged and want a therapist who believes your nature is good. There is nothing you can say to me that will cause me to judge you or ghost you - ever. Often times, the relationship you form with your therapist gives you the space and permission to express yourself in ways you may not feel safe saying/doing in your other relationships - you are safe to explore here.

We might work well together…

I find hope, inspiration, and comfort when I interact with nature. I love a big, intricate oak tree - literal tree hugger here. I am a cisgender, straight woman in my mid-thirties. I am a mother on my own matrescence journey. I love Denton and the community here. I need good coffee, good music and time in my garden on the daily. My happy place: country back road, windows down, singing at the top of my lungs (think 90s country or 2000s girly pop). Becoming a therapist has been my life’s goal - it is very important to me, an honor, a welcome responsibility.
