Hi there!
A little bit about me, my husband and I were married in 2021 and recently moved to Dallas after spending some time in Colorado. I have received my Ph.D. in Counseling
Psychology from Texas A&M University (whoop!) and am very passionate about the work that I get to do. I love the opportunity to provide a safe space for others to continue in their healing.
My work tends to center around a few key concepts: personal identity, self-worth, and self-compassion. Together we explore the beliefs we hold about who we are and what makes us important. Through our sessions together, we work to become more aware – understanding our emotions in a way that allows us to have clarity around our deepest needs, and how to regulate our emotions, so we can regain control of how we feel.
Typical issues I work with:
– Feeling overwhelmed, constantly worried, or having worst-case scenario thinking
– Feeling like “not yourself” anymore
– Feeling like everything is your fault
– Setting boundaries and developing the relationships that you want
– Taking care of yourself
– Stressing about your work being done perfectly
– Understanding your feelings and caring well for them
– Feeling lonely
– Transitioning into new seasons of life (new relationships, starting college, big
moves, etc.)
I also specialize in working with new and expecting moms!
In our work, a few of the things we might focus on are:
– How to continue to feel confident in who you are, and in your value, apart from your amazing role as a mom
– How to incorporate self-compassion to fight mom-guilt or feelings around “not being good enough”
– How to make space in your life for the life-giving things you still love, while feeling connected to your growing family
I work with clients 13 years and up, individuals, couples, and families, in both English and Portuguese.
