About
As a neurodivergent person who has struggled with mental health, I understand the importance of feeling seen and understood, as well as developing a toolkit of coping skills that caters to every person's unique needs.
I am a licensed associate professional counselor (LAPC) with 2 years of experience supporting clients through life changes, anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, eating disorders, and OCD. I also have experience working with veterans and individuals navigating trauma. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors, and aim to create a space where clients feel understood and supported.
I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from the University of Texas at San Antonio. My approach integrates techniques that explore thoughts, emotions, and behavior. I tailor each session to the client’s needs and prioritize collaboration to help them work toward meaningful goals.
Starting counseling can feel intimidating, so I focus on creating a warm, nonjudgmental environment where you feel safe and supported. You deserve to be validated, seen, and heard as you work toward healing. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’m here to walk with you—let’s begin whenever you’re ready.

Eating disorder therapy is a specialized approach aimed at assisting those who are grappling with a range of eating disorders. These disorders are significant mental health conditions characterized by irregular or unhealthy eating patterns and an intense focus on body weight and shape. Common conditions addressed in Eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID).
At Thriveworks, Eating disorders begins with a thorough assessment and personalized treatment plan. Central to eating disorder therapy is psychotherapy, often employing cognitive behavioral therapy and other specialized techniques to target negative thought patterns.
The signs of an eating disorder can include:
CBT’s remission rate, according to some research, is generally between 50-30% for those seeking assistance for eating disorder symptoms.
The recovery rate for those seeking assistance with eating disorders depends entirely on the individual’s involvement in sessions, the severity of their symptoms, and their willingness to change their eating habits and relationship with food.
Eating disorder therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of Eating disorders will vary from one person to the next, dependent on their specific needs. Your therapist can help to determine what might be most beneficial for you.
Those suffering from eating disorders also tend to enter a non-ending cycle of guilt, shame, and depression. Many of those trapped in this vicious cycle don’t know where to turn. Fortunately, therapy has proven to be an effective treatment method for both types of eating disorders.
