While I use a feminist approach to healing, it should be noted that any individual, regardless of their gender identity, can benefit from embracing the wisdom of more feminine forms of healing. Traditionally, many depth psychotherapists and Eastern holistic healing practices have associated the feminine with the subconscious and the body. Therefore, it is through embracing the power of the Kundalini energy that arises as we tap into our feminine or unconscious aspects that we can truly transform and heal.
You might be wondering "what is a holistic feminist depth-oriented approach to psychotherapy?" The main thing that separates my approach from other forms of psychotherapy is that it focuses on integrating subconscious information through the power of relational forms of healing. This approach honors the traditional healing practices of women healers throughout history and therefore seeks to dismantle the inherent bias within many Western approaches to treatment. Furthermore, because of my relational and holistic approach, I do not believe in pathologizing my clients or their symptoms and, thus, I avoid providing a diagnosing my clients. Thus my work in session aims to help clients explore who they are to foster greater integration between their conscious (masculine) and unconscious (feminine) parts. So that they can transform their pain into healing by aligning with their soul’s journey.
embracing the power of the feminine in psychotherapy
Psychotherapy
Life can truly kick us in the a** sometimes. Losing someone close to us or adjusting to a major life change can cause us to question who we really are and what we want out of life. It is important to remember that the goal of life is not to never mess up, rather it is to notice when we are out of alignment with our truest self, and adjust accordingly to get back on track. Our work will focus on how you can reconcile the losses in your life and more towards a more whole and complete you.
LIFE TRANSITIONS + GRIEF
Dreams are like hidden gateways into our subconscious. They give us clues into what our psyche wants for us or the areas in our lives that need our care and attention. If you have ever been curious about dream work, integrating this practice into psychotherapy can be a great way to start. Furthermore, dreams allow us to tap into our creative potential. To explore ourselves on a deeper level. If you feel lost or unsure how to move forward but are tired of the “quick fixes” and TikTok therapist's advice, my approach is the perfect fit for you.
Dream work and self-discovery

Using gentle non-invasive touch or the hovering of hands (Similar to the techniques used in popular somatic therapies.) Reiki helps restore balance and the flow of Ki. Since Reiki goes beyond the rational thinking brain, it allows for the nervous system to release trauma and blockages without feeling overwhelmed by strong emotions, memories, or bodily sensations attached to negative experiences. Therefore, by accessing the unconscious intuitive wisdom of your body, you can move towards greater authenticity and fulfillment of your purpose in life.

Reiki is a holistic Japanese energy healing technique that restores our life-force energy (Ki). When Ki flows freely in our body, we feel empowered, strong, creative, vibrant, and connected to our higher sense of purpose. Unfortunately, when Ki is blocked, we feel fearful, limited, sluggish, depressed, and may have issues with chronic pain, digestion, and other ailments. This leaves us in an endless loop of repeating unhelpful habits or patterns to relieve ourselves from our suffering.
ACCESSING THE UNCONSCIOUS WISDOM IN YOUR BODY

While Tarot might have an unsavory reputation, the truth about Tarot or any form of divination is that they are tools for self-reflection and insight, which humans from many cultures have known for thousands of years. When I use Tarot in my Intuitive Guidance Sessions (Sometimes referred to as "reading"), I combine the use of my and my clients’ intuition with my knowledge of human psychology through my academic training to bring a grounded perspective to the cards. This is why I like to use the word "guidance" instead of the term "coaching", since these meetings are collaborative. Therefore, rather than me telling you what to do, we will discuss what the cards and symbols mean to YOU, specifically in your life, and how you can strengthen your access to your own intuitive wisdom. Making your reading a truly unique and one-of-a-kind experience. Contact me today to schedule a session!
Tarot is not a parlor trick for fortune-telling or having someone tell you how to figure out your life. Instead, Tarot is a conduit for intuitive guidance, bridging the gap between intuition (our inner world) and reality (the outer world). The system of Tarot is full of rich symbolism, archetypes, and metaphors, which reflect the psychology of the human condition. Making it the perfect vehicle to gain insight into the unconscious wisdom you hold within yourself. Therefore, my role as a Tarot practitioner is not to “predict” your future or give you the right answers, but instead, I use the cards in a practical way to tap into the subconscious parts of your mind to reveal the truth you already know within your heart.

let’s work together
Feeling like you don’t have a purpose? Or like you are wearing a “mask” for everyone else? There is a tiny spark inside of you that wants something more - something true and real. It is time for that spark to grow.
Embracing Authenticity
Let’s call it like it is - being a female (or female-identifying person) is f**king hard. All around you are messages that make you feel like you are “not enough”, yet you feel expected to keep it all together for the sake of being a “good girl.” There is so much more to being a woman than the one-dimensional story we are told. It’s time for you to embrace your inner goddess and reclaim your throne!
Honoring the Female Experience
You've been suppressing some sh*t for a while, but now you feel unable to keep it down. Your body is wise. Your intuition is wise. YOU are wise. It’s time to reclaim the creative and intuitive parts of you that you have felt cut off from.
Reconnecting to Divine Wisdom
Any healthy relationship is built upon a foundation of trust and security and the therapy relationship is no different. Before engaging in the therapeutic process, every therapist should provide a written or electronic copy of their informed consent for their clients to sign prior to their first session. That being said, there are certain situations in which a therapist might be required to break confidentiality and these situations can include: Suspected abuse or neglect of children or elderly adults, if the therapist has reason to suspect the client is seriously in danger of harming themselves and/or if the client has threatened to harm another person.
What remains confidential in session?
At this time, I am not accepting new clients looking to file claims with their insurance providers. Please keep in mind that choosing to not file with your insurance provider allows you to be in full control of your treatment in therapy. Should you wish to file for out-of-network reimbursement for your sessions, I am happy to provide a receipt (Superbill) for self-pay clients. If you are interested in filing for out-of-network reimbursement, please contact your insurance provider for more information about the types of documentation they require.

I currently split my time between two office locations in order to make myself more accessible for my clients. My primary office is located in the Heights area of Houston and my second location is in The Woodlands (roughly 45 minutes north of downtown Houston). For more information about my office location and hours, please schedule a phone consult.
Where is your office located?
That’s a great question! As a child I once heard an old wise saying that I have carried with me. “Sometimes it is the poison we fear, which holds the antidote.” While many cultures have some variation of this saying, the sentiment is the same. The things that we fear or run away from with ourselves or others, are often the very things which will set us free. This concept is reflected in psychological terms like ego and shadow, as well as in modern day theories (IFS, ACT etc.). However, unlike CBT, ACT and our more modern theories which tend to focus on the surface, a depth-depth oriented approach requires us to explore the unknown and mystical parts of ourselves we have hidden away so that we can bring them out of the shadows and into the light.
What does a depth-oriented approach to psychotherapy look like?
Reiki, chakra healing and tarot have been used throughout history to help individuals gain awareness of themselves. I believe these traditional and holistic healing modalities can offer us great wisdom when incorporating them into psychotherapy as they allow us to connect to our inner unconscious wisdom, or intuition, therefore helping us become more connected with our authentic selves. Furthermore, as a specialist in this area of research, I am familiar with the benefits of incorporating these techniques into session as part of my graduate studies in my current PhD program. Thus I am able to speak to their benefits and how research has supported their effectiveness with clients.
Why would you use reiki or tarot for healing?
Great question! While there is a lot of similarity between reiki and psychotherapy, the main difference between these two modalities is that psychotherapy tends to focus on the mind and reiki is an energy therapy which focuses primarily on blockages within the body. Therefore, reiki tends to be more holistic in nature, where traditional psychotherapy takes more of a western approach However, given my background training and research in both of these modalities I have a unique way of conceptualizing my clients concerns whether it is in traditional psychotherapy or reiki.
What’s the difference between psychotherapy and reiki?
Deciding if you want psychotherapy or intuitive coaching really comes down to two simple questions. 1. Are you comfortable incorporating more holistic/spiritual techniques into sessions? 2. Are you looking to access the more creative and intuitive parts of yourself? For some people, psychotherapy alone may be enough to access these parts. However, if you are struggling to access your own intuitive wisdom in your day-to-day life, coaching may be a great fit for you.
What’s the difference between psychotherapy and coaching?
When people hear the word Tarot, two feelings usually emerge curiosity or fear. The media often paints tarot as either associated with sinfulness and darkness or dismissed as “woo woo” by more scientific disciplines. However, the truth is that Tarot is simply a tool that people have used for hundreds of years to access their unconscious wisdom. It is often said that we fear our greatest potential, and to know our greatest potential means we must uncover the parts we have suppressed, shamed, and denied within ourselves. This is how Tarot is helpful; through Tarot, we are able to cut through the defenses of our own egos to uncover who we are and what we want.
