Welcome

We all want harmony and to feel healthy, loving, and strong. I believe in order for teens to create a healthy, positive life, it's important to have a place to express emotions- both positive and negative. By sharing our dreams, hopes, insecurities, and fears we begin to see life through a new lens and realize we are all connected. My job is to act as a guide so that we can work together to heal from painful past experiences and learn new ways to engage with the world. With honor and respect, I am here to walk with you and together we will discover greater joy and harmony.

The mission of ATX Counseling is to provide a safe place to learn, grow, and discover who you are. This supportive environment fosters a healthy, secure attachment allowing you to better understand yourself and your relationships with others. Everyone deserves a space to heal.

What is counseling?

Counseling is about feeling heard, unconditionally accepted, and empowered. I enjoy using creative approaches such as art, music, journaling and a sense of humor during our time together in order to create a positive, safe environment.  Through exploring feelings, we can begin to discover strengths, new behavioral patterns, healthier relationships, and a more meaningful life. You do not have to face the challenges of life alone. I'm here to help.

For Teens

Learning to build healthy relationships, develop a positive self-image, and discover strengths starts in the teen years and it is important to have a safe place to explore confusing feelings. Bottling up these feelings can cause anxiety, depression, and can lead to unhealthy behaviors such as self-harm. Counseling helps teens learn new coping skills and heal from painful past experiences. My goal for teenage clients is to provide a safe space for you and your family to find peace during this stressful time.

For College Students

This is an exciting time in your identity development.  For many, this is the first time you have left home, made new friends, and been able to make all the big and small decisions that come with this stage of life.  This can feel incredibly overwhelming.  By learning about  your own needs and emotional well-being, you can create more positive energy to live the life you want every day.
