May you grow in love and acceptance; strength and courage; wisdom and kindness; insight and discipline. May you become who you already are, as you nurture those seeds within.

I’m a native Houstonian and Mind-Body Therapist in Sugar Land, TX. I’m a passionate advocate of mobilizing our inner resources for soaring above chronic pain, anxiety, and trauma.

I look forward to joining forces with you to design a program that integrates your mind, body, heart, and soul for neuroplasticity and nervous system regulation.

My guiding values are holistic, integrative, and trauma-informed care based on compassion, collaboration, creativity, courage, and joy. Laughter is good medicine, and I especially love laughing with my clients!

I work with diverse clients and communities to actualize ambitious health and wellness goals. I am an ally and knowledgeable in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals. Prior to private practice, I worked at Legacy Community Health and the Montrose Center. This is a safe and affirming place.

All parts of you are welcome here in their authentic expression.

Online therapy available in Texas, Florida, and Colorado.

Nature is my favorite kind of therapy! I completed Clinical Ecotherapy training with the Earthbody Institute and am also certified as a Kripalu Mindful Outdoor Guide. I look forward to exploring how bringing nature into therapy—and you out into nature—may benefit you.

I completed SoulCollage® Facilitator training in July 2020 and have fallen in love with this creative process of tapping into “deep soul wisdom,” in the words of founder Seena Frost. I offer SoulCollage® with individuals and groups, online and outdoors.

In 2011, I hiked 700 glorious miles of the Appalachian Trail. This picture of a whiteblaze is one of my favorites. Hiking the AT gave me an everlasting appreciation of the hero’s journey.

Seeing the path blazed ahead of you, often from a great distance so that you know the hard work that awaits—and as you look back, how far you’ve come. There are detours along the way, and you get lost. But you figure it out and life is far more interesting because of it.

We are all fellow travelers on this planet.
The paths are many.
May you Hike Your Own Hike!

Are you ready to soar?

In your complimentary call, we’ll talk about your goals and I can help you decide if I’m the right mind-body therapist for you.
