About Me:

Your child is bright, curious, and sensitive, but lately they've been struggling. Maybe they're overwhelmed by anxiety, misunderstood at school, or pulling away from friends. You've seen their potential, but big emotions, social challenges, or hard transitions keep getting in the way. You want them to feel confident, safe, and like themselves again, and you're looking for a therapist who truly gets kids, someone who listens, plays, and works alongside you as a partner in their growth.

I'm a child and teen therapist with 4 years of experience, and my style is warm, evidence-based, and down-to-earth. My approach is child-centered and meets your child exactly where they are, whether that's through play for younger kids, or talk therapy, mindfulness, and creative tools for older kids and teens. Above all, therapy with me doesn't have to feel stiff: there's room for humor, creativity, and celebrating the little wins together. I work alongside parents with practical tools to strengthen connection at home, because real growth happens outside our sessions too! Before joining the team at Reach, I worked with families facing cancer, medical trauma, and other adverse life experiences, and I'm currently pursuing my RPT credential.

Born and raised in Austin, Fort Worth is home now, though the TX Hill Country will always have my heart. Outside the therapy room, I'm usually chasing live music, hunting for good coffee, hanging with my dogs, or somehow ending up in Target's dollar bin section. I'd love to connect and learn more about your family, whether you're ready to begin or just exploring your options. I'm here whenever you're ready.
