Your Mental Health Matters

  • You're tired of pursuing perfectionism and people pleasing all to find yourself burned out by the pressure
  • You base your worth and identity off your achievements or what people think of you but you want to belong
  • You feel like you've lost your autonomy since becoming a parent
  • You get the feeling you're "too much" for the people in your life but you want connection


It's not just one thing weighing you down, maybe it's a mix of old hurts, everyday stress, and that nagging voice telling you that you're not enough. By the end of the day, you're drained and wonder how you'll face tomorrow.


  • Holding in your pain only makes it grow stronger
  • Hurt grows into sleepless nights and unexpected anger toward loved ones
  • There's a consistent ache in your chest
  • At times it seems like you've reached the end of your rope


I get that you want to control everything in life- family, home, work- to keep everything from falling apart, but there is another way. As a Christian counselor in Houston, I will combine spiritual truth and psycho education. I will sit with you to witness your experiences, we will unpack your story together. You don't have to do it alone. Our lives are meant to be "peopled".

Internal Family Systems Therapy

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy helps clients explore their personality "parts," promoting healing through self-compassion and resolving internal conflicts.

In addition to providing in person counseling in Houston, Texas, I offer online counseling across the state of Texas. Online therapy works—it’s not a backup option, it meets you where you are, emotionally and physically. The virtual therapy option removes obstacles that can get in the way of healing and growth. The strength of therapy comes from the relationship between therapist and client, not the room it's in.
