I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Texas, and the owner and operator of Strong as a Mother Therapy.

I was pulled to clinical social work for so many reasons— but mostly because I wanted to connect with and help people. I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with my Masters of Science in Social Work in 2012, and have worked in the clinical field for the past 14 years.

After becoming a mother myself 7 years ago, my clinical focus has shifted to support women as they navigate the rolling challenges of motherhood. I have experienced the many stressors that pop up in each stage of motherhood— from the sleep-deprived stressful, confusing days with a newborn, to the trying days with a headstrong toddler, and on to the anxieties of watching your children grow and become independent. I know the overwhelm of the unequal labor of the domestic responsibilities, and the stress it causes with a partner. And I can relate to losing your own identity amidst it all.

Strong as a Mother Therapy was born to give women a space to share, to grieve, to vent, to connect, to grow and to find themselves again.

I live in Austin, TX with my husband, our three children and our two dogs. When I’m not working, I am managing this crazy household and in my free time you will find me bonding with my favorite women, working out or reading.
