I’m a counselor in Wimberley, Texas, and I help high-achieving professionals, busy moms, and those moving through life transitions heal from complex trauma, anxiety, burn out or relational patterns such as overfunctioning or people pleasing. In our work together clients often reconnect with themselves, heal old patterns, and step into a life that feels connected, meaningful, and full of life again.

Much of my work centers around women navigating seasons of change - shifting identities, evolving roles, returning to themselves after years of pressure or survival mode, or healing from the long-term effects of complex trauma.

I blend real, human presence with evidence-based care. My approach is warm, steady, and deeply collaborative.

You get to arrive exactly as you are - messy, tired, hopeful, overwhelmed, unsure - and we work gently from there.‍ ‍

I pay close attention to what’s unspoken, the tension in the body, the repeated patterns, the quiet intuition that’s been waiting to surface. Together, we slow down enough for clarity, truth, and direction to emerge.

I also support the whole family through parent consultations, work with teens and young children, and occasionally work with men who are burned out and want change, as well.

I believe you are meant to thrive, not just survive the day.

I’m honored to walk alongside you and help you uncover what thriving might look like for you and this stage in your life.

Why I do this work…

I’ve always been drawn to the idea of a sabbatical, or time away from the noise and the constant demands of daily life. After years of working as a nurse I expereinced burn out myself, and my body came to a screeching halt. Through my own healing from burn out, I came to understand that this kind of pause doesn’t always require leaving your life. It can begin right where you are in the midst of ordinary life. Through my work as a nurse I saw up close the connection between mental and physical health, and how we all long to be seen, supported, and understood in our suffering, and in the things that make us come alive.

As a young mom, I went on a mission trip to Africa, where I witnessed a deep reliance on faith and community that stuck with me. Women and children were in hard situations, but they weren't carrying their lives alone-they were relying heavily on their faith and each other in ways our busy culture rarely makes room for. It reminded me that we are meant to be supported, not stretched to our breaking point, and holding it together on our own. Later, serving on a Walk to Emmaus team, I felt that truth again. Healing often begins with someone walking beside you-steady, present, unhurried.

These experiences continue to shape the way I show up to the therapy room today, a compassionate presence that holds space for what’s true in you to rise again. Like many of the people I work with, I felt something shifting in me, too. A deep calling to support people in a new way, rooted in the belief that our health and well-being are both connected on many layers — mind, body, and soul, and no one is meant to carry life alone.
