About

Have you ever had a feeling of being intuitively guided? Have you ever felt like you knew something was right or wrong for you? We all have stories that we can’t quite explain, but these are threads we can tug at, as we inherit the wisdom of our deeper selves, uncover greater truths, and navigate through our personal life journeys.

I primarily use humanistic therapy, which is a type of therapy that emphasizes the point of view of the client and allows them to take an active role in their treatment. In addition to this style of therapy, I also use CBT, and mindfulness therapies. Through these modalities I’ll use in our work together, I implore you to step into the wholeness of who you are – a more empowered version of yourself.

About

I bring a vast array of professional and personal experiences to my work. I was born in Germany, grew up in France, lived in Mexico, and made Houston, Texas, my home in 1995.  In France, I worked in construction, served in the military, and was a police officer. In Mexico, I sold educational materials and taught French. As a college student in Houston, Texas, I worked for a while as a tutor in a private high school for teenagers whose behavior had resulted in their being expelled from public schools. After receiving my BBA, I accumulated over 20 years of Houston, Texas-based corporate accounting and finance experience in the context of small firms, mid-sized companies, and multi-billion-dollar multinational corporations.

I bring the depth and range of my experience to my work and continue to be a life-long student. I’ve personally experienced cross-border relocations, learned other languages, adapted to new cultures, changed careers, and gone through existential turmoil. I help my clients navigate the challenges of career decisions, geographic relocations, cultural assimilations, communication difficulties, and relationship discords. I believe that your challenges are not necessarily insurmountable and am passionate about helping people wake up to their true selves so they can live fully with more peace of mind, inner freedom, and a deeper experience of love in their hearts. Whichever situation you currently find yourself in, there is hope. I look forward to our collaboration.

About

Have you felt unheard or unseen by your doctor? Perhaps you are worried about an upcoming surgery or are dealing with trauma after an operation. Maybe you are also dealing with the stress of having a physical disability and are trying to lie in a world that requires you to adapt. In all of what you are feeling right now, maybe you are dealing with major life transitions, the loss of your identity, or self-esteem issues. You want to live a life just like everyone else, but you deal with anxiety and wish you can control your negative thoughts. You want to accept who you are, and live your life to the fullest with no regrets.

My primary focus is working with older teens, young adults, adults, the elderly population as well as people with disabilities. I also work with clients who have issues related to life transitions, codependency issues, trauma/PTSD, anxiety, chronic pain/illness, social skills development, and obsessive-compulsive issues.

I specialize in clients both with and without disabilities with self-esteem issues, trauma (which includes medical trauma), co-dependency, and life transitions. In sessions, I also incorporate the use of the creative arts to facilitate freedom of expression to learn how to live life to the fullest.

As someone with a physical disability (I have a form of dwarfism), it is easy for me to empathize with my clients. My background is in disability advocacy as well, and I am one to always advocate and fight for my clients. One of my favorite quotes is, “Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain” by Viviane Greene. This quote reminds me of how one can move through adversity in life. I help my clients on their journey toward working through adversity in their lives.
