Thank you for your interest in the community of the Mentally Strong! My goal is to serve the general public and professionals with providing essential mental health and brain health information to support strengthening our capacity to become Mentally Strong. I cover topics considered holistic, modern, and integrative. I consider the experiences of modern-day humans and common mental health patterns and relate them to theories and concepts that are psychological, relational, neurophysiological, and spiritual.

I believe there is a detrimental lack of education to the general public regarding the way our minds work, how to take care of our brains, how we develop certain patterns of behavior, and how to create healthy relationships. I desire to offer education on these topics to individuals seeking to become Mentally Strong and to mental health professionals aiming to expand their approach and widen their wealth of knowledge to include topics that are relevant to most clients but not covered in the basic training and education of our profession.

I own a private practice, based in Austin, Texas called Essence Therapy – ATX, where I serve individual clients to return to their true selves and essence after trauma and to support couples seeking to establish safe, trusting, and growth-oriented relationships. Additionally, I teach masters level students at St. Edward’s University training to be mental health therapists.

It is my pleasure, my passion, and my purpose to serve in these ways and I am enthused to continue offering vital education to more people who are committed to doing the work and pursuing the wisdom we are all meant to understand.
