I joined Healing Lane Therapy because I believe that quality care requires a therapist who is willing to be a real human being in the room. I’ve spent my career working with individuals who feel like their stories have been defined by what happened to them, rather than who they actually are. I know that the road to recovery, especially when navigating complex trauma or BPD, requires more than just clinical advice; it requires a steady, honest relationship where you feel safe enough to be challenged and seen.

I have a deep passion for working with those living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Complex Trauma or family members of those living with BPD. I have spent nearly a decade in the field of trauma-focused treatment and mental health, and have worked with people across the life span. Before joining this practice, I worked exclusively in high-intensity trauma settings, helping clients navigate the aftermath of experiences that left their nervous systems stuck in survival mode.

Whether you are an adult trying to untangle years of relationship conflict or the parent of a teen who you have noticed feels misunderstood by the world around them, I bring nine years of specialized expertise to the table. My goal is to help you or your loved one move past the "stuckness" of your past so you can finally begin to lead a life that feels stable and authentically yours.

My therapy style is relational, warm, direct, and authentic. I don’t believe in being a silent observer; I believe in building a real relationship. Clients value my honesty and the fact that I am open about having been on my own therapy journey. I’m not asking you to go anywhere I haven’t gone myself, and I show up with the belief that healing happens when you feel both deeply connected and appropriately challenged.

I am especially passionate about attachment and emotional regulation. For my teen clients, I position myself as an advocate and a teammate, not another parent or authority figure. For my adult clients, we focus on building the stability and safety within yourself that allows you to show up differently in your relationships. I believe that a consistent, honest connection is the foundation where we can work through old wounds and repair things together in real-time.

Outside of the therapy room, I understand the importance of self-care to stay grounded for my clients. I find my own balance in the quiet moments, whether that’s getting lost in a good book or tending to my garden. I live in Houston with my partner and our three dogs, who keep life joyful and at ease.
