I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Niyama Integrative Therapy. I provide trauma-informed therapy for adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and complex relational patterns. Many of the clients I work with are capable and high-functioning on the outside, while internally carrying chronic stress, unresolved trauma, or emotional exhaustion. You may be navigating burnout, relationship strain, identity shifts, or long-standing family dynamics that still shape how you move through the world.
My therapeutic process focuses on the WHOLE person; body, mind and spirit. I have traiing in EMDR, DBT, SFBT, EFT , psychedelic assisted psychotherapy and somatic therapy.
I value the work I do and invite you to take a chance towards healing.
I am excited to work with folks 12+ who don't want therapy to feel like a doctor's office. I have experience working with anxiety, low self-esteem, disconnection, and trauma, as well as folks navigating difficult diagnoses and changing life circumstances that leave them feeling stuck, afraid, or alone.
I specialize in supporting individuals who have spent a long time feeling either "too much" or "not enough." My work focuses on helping those who feel stuck in cycles of guilt, shame, or disconnection, and are ready to break free from self-destructive patterns.
I hold an extensive background in treating substance use, personality disorders, trauma, and mood disorders. My professional foundation is built on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and other evidence-based practices. I have dedicated my career to serving populations that struggle with maladaptive coping strategies, providing a space where your experiences are heard and your inherent strengths are recognized.
I believe healing happens in a space where you feel seen, supported, and understood. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) with Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with over 12 years of experience working with children, youth, and families.
Life is full of ups and downs, and I have learned from both personal and professional experience that 'suffering in silence' is not really sustainable or healthy for anyone. You deserve to feel heard and to function at your best level. I have 6 years' experience post-graduation from the University of Texas with helping folks do just that. From nonprofits, to medical clinics, to correctional facilities, to teletherapy, I have connected deeply and partnered with many clients and families to trudge through some of their darkest hours and find more validation, calmness, and acceptance. My fluency in Spanish has given me opportunities to break down walls and connect with hundreds of clients whose cultural background is different than mine. I would be honored to have the chance to see if working together is a good fit for your healing journey.
Are you feeling stressed out, struggling with a life transition, not happy with your career, unfulfilled in your current relationship and/or contemplating divorce? Life can be challenging and sometimes we need help along the way.
With the proper support and guidance, counseling can help you cultivate your strengths, regain control, learn ways to overcome difficulties, enrich your life, and take positive steps toward a more fulfilling future. I can help you identify and break the negative patterns in your life and create more positive relationships and productive behavior change. Taking an active and empathic approach, I provide a comfortable space to explore, discuss, and feel heard and understood.
I work collaboratively with adults and couples utilizing a variety of pragmatic, therapeutic approaches tailored to your unique needs and personality. We will start out by defining your therapeutic goals for improvement as well as developing the roadmap to get you there. Whether you want to work on communication skills, getting unstuck, reducing stress/anxiety/anger, developing a more positive outlook or improved coping mechanisms, I use a strengths-based approach to empower you to move into a new chapter in your life.
We will work together via a HIPAA compliant video platform (Zoom), meeting from the comfort of YOUR own couch, so there is no need to stress about travel, traffic, or being recognized in a therapist's waiting room. For your convenience, I offer morning, afternoon, and evening appointments.
Schedule a session now so we can begin the process toward healing and happiness.
With over two decades of experience as a therapist, I have served in various agencies specializing in addictions and mental health. For the past five years, I have transitioned to private practice, where my primary focus is supporting women over the age of 45. My approach incorporates Internal Family Systems therapy, brainspotting, and HRV biofeedback—modalities that, when integrated, offer highly transformative outcomes.
