"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself, just as I am, then I can change."
- Carl Rogers
Welcome to my site and to the start of your healing journey.

Chronic Illness
The emotional side of chronic illness deserves care, too.
​
Living with conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), POTS, MCAS, chronic pain, and other complex medical conditions can bring challenges that other people may not always see. You may find yourself dealing with uncertainty, changing symptoms, endless appointments, fatigue, pain, or limitations—while still trying to work, care for your family, maintain relationships, and live your life.
​
Sometimes, one of the hardest parts is simply not feeling understood.
Therapy can give you a place where your experience is taken seriously and where you can talk openly about what living with chronic illness is really like.
Services
I provide individual counseling to adults in person or virtually in Texas.
Chronic Illness
You are seen. You are believed.
You deserve mental healthcare that understands chronic illness.
Living with chronic or complex health conditions can affect so much more than your physical health. It can change your relationships, your identity, your plans, and the way you move through everyday life.
You deserve a place where you don’t have to explain why it’s hard.
I provide compassionate counseling for people navigating chronic illness, medical trauma, anxiety, grief, and the emotional impact of living in a body that doesn’t always cooperate.

​​​Whether you seek support for yourself or a loved one, I provide a safe environment for healing. My passion is helping others feel connected, feel heard, and feel accepted. Reach out today to begin your journey towards healing!

"All of us, at some time or other, need help. Whether we're giving or receiving help, each one of us has something valuable to bring to this world. That's one of the things that connects us as neighbors--in our own way, each one of us is a giver and a receiver."
