Find a therapist in Texas — covered by insurance

As a therapist, I'm naturally solution-focused, but I also know that lasting change doesn't happen by rushing past the hard stuff. I like to find a balance between processing and problem-solving. Sometimes that means helping clients unpack what's been weighing on them, make sense of their experiences, or connect the dots between past and present. Other times, it means rolling up our sleeves and figuring out what practical steps they can take to start feeling better and moving forward.

I don't believe therapy should be a place where you come in week after week and just talk without seeing any growth. At the same time, I don't believe in jumping straight to solutions before someone has had the opportunity to feel heard and understood. My goal is to help clients gain insight, build skills, and make meaningful changes while honoring where they are in the process.

I tend to be warm, down-to-earth, and genuine in my approach. I want clients to feel comfortable bringing their whole selves into the room—the messy parts, the uncertain parts, and the parts they're still trying to figure out. I believe some of the best work happens when people feel safe enough to be honest and supported enough to take risks.

Above all, I see therapy as a partnership. You are the expert on your life, and I'm here to help you make sense of what you're experiencing, recognize your strengths, and find a path forward that feels authentic and sustainable for you.

Life can feel overwhelming when stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, or major transitions start to pile up. Therapy can be a space where you slow down, feel understood, and begin making sense of what you’re experiencing. For over a decade, I’ve worked alongside individuals navigating some of life’s hardest moments, including trauma, substance use recovery, mental health struggles, family stress, and major life changes. I became a therapist because I genuinely care about people and believe everyone deserves support, hope, and the opportunity to heal. No matter where you're starting from, we'll work together to help you build on your strengths and create meaningful change one step at a time.

My approach to counseling was forged in the trenches of real-world recovery. For four years, I practiced at A Healthy Image Counseling and Consulting Services, where I worked extensively with court-mandated probation services, mental health, and substance abuse.

It was during those years—sitting face-to-face with individuals navigating some of the most difficult, high-stakes chapters of their lives—that my core philosophy was born. Through many raw, honest confides, I realized that true recovery and growth do not come from shame or forced compliance. Instead, they come when we have the courage to look beneath the surface of our behaviors and understand the "why" behind our actions.

I want you to know that when you sit across from me, you are in a completely non-judgmental space. I am uniquely equipped to handle heavy, complex struggles, and I specialize in helping individuals navigate:

• Substance Use & Addiction Recovery: Moving past shame to address the underlying pain, trauma, or habits driving substance use.
• Court-Mandated & System-Involved Support: Providing practical, respectful therapy for those navigating probation, legal stressors, or rehabilitation.
• Shadow Work & Self-Discovery: Unpacking deeply rooted patterns, behaviors, and defense mechanisms to foster genuine self-compassion.
• I'm also bilingual and offer sessions in both English and Spanish — ofrezco terapia en español.

• Enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, family and marriage populations.
• For past several years I have worked in both private and public school settings.
• Hold a certification in both Trauma and Christian Counseling.

In both my professional and personal experiences, I have come to realize that healing starts in an environment where individuals feel genuinely heard, respected, and understood. Therapy is a collaborative journey rooted in trust, empathy, and mutual respect. Together, we will identify obstacles to well-being, develop effective coping mechanisms, and cultivate the skills needed to achieve robust emotional health and a more fulfilling life. I utilize evidence-based practice strategies to assist individuals in managing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, grief, and personal development, among other issues. My goal is to foster a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where individuals can freely examine their thoughts and emotions as part of a healing process, progressing toward a state of freedom and holistic wellness.

After 15 years in tech marketing, I went to the University of Texas at Arlington to earn my Master's in Social Work. Upon graduation, I worked toward my clinical license at a Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient Program. Here, I worked with clients with severe mental health problems to find stability and gain the tools necessary to find success in life after program. This setting allowed me to work across the full spectrum of mental health issues, specifically with mood and personality disorders, trauma, self-harm, suicidal ideation, psychosis, and other high-acuity issues.

I am licensed in Texas with over 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, anger management, & depression. I am here to help you gain a better sense of yourself and maintain a healthy, balanced lifestyle. I believe in providing a space where clients can talk freely while providing gentle assurance as needed. Open up at your own comfort level, I am here to support you!

I'm a licensed clinical social worker based in Maplewood, NJ and the founder of canyons therapy. I can see clients who live in New Jersey, Texas, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. I am a recovering perfectionist, anxious mom, and lover of a slow-paced life. In session, you will find me casually dressed, warm beverage in-hand, and ready to hold space for your most imperfect self. Outside of session, I’m wrangling my young kids and doing my best to embrace our chaos. I enjoy being in nature, watching the latest documentary, and curating mood-setting playlists.

I'm a psychologist for people whose lives have been shaped by serious illness. That might mean managing a chronic or complex condition yourself, caring for someone who is seriously ill, or working in medicine and carrying what you see home with you. I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from Marquette University and trained in pediatric and congenital medical settings, working alongside hospital teams in the cardiac ICU, oncology, and neurology. That background means the medical side of your life doesn't need explaining before the work can start.

I have been in the field of psychotherapy since 2013 and have been practice as a licensed mental health counselor since 2020. I follow a holistic approach and gravitate toward solution focused and positive psychology.
