I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with over three years of experience providing various modalities of therapy to clients in need. I am an adaptable and empathetic therapist with robust counseling abilities and a deep understanding of the significance of raising awareness about mental health. I possess experience in assisting clients who suffer from a range of mental health disorders and substance use. Through clinical experience, compassion, and empathy, I support and assist those who are eager to make a positive difference in their lives.

Life is not a simple thing, it is full of mystery, joy, pain, sadness, obstacles, and successes and people are no different. I know how terrifying it can be to be on that side of the couch and I appreciate the strength it takes to take this first step. It's my philosophy that people are unique, and we all have our own path on which we tread; however, that path exists inside a world that is created by something outside ourselves. Sometimes when the world forces us to fit a mold it causes discomfort and anxiety. My goal as a therapist is to meet you along your path and do my best to help you connect with the things that matter to you.

Do you find yourself at a crossroads in life? Are you seeking to move from being "stuck" to "unstuck"? Are you looking for additional perspectives to your issues and concerns? Difficult seasons in our lives can be expected, and sometimes our old ways of coping or adapting do not meet the need of our season. I enjoy working with clients, their family, and support system in exercising autonomy to choose what is best for them. I believe you can adapt to meet the need of your season without losing the essence of what makes you, you.

Throughout my many years of experience, I have seen many clients, each person with a unique set of circumstances to cope with. Anxiety and depression may factor into their life arc, some may be dealing with grief or past traumas, and others may have issues with their self-image. When assessing couples (I am both LPC and LMFT, so I frequently see clients with a variety of needs), I've noticed that the main issues that I offer assistance with tend to be communication issues that then lead to conflict. Clients that come to me actively want to improve their lives, and it is my pleasure to support them by meeting them where they are.

My clients seek a collaborative approach to therapy and are hoping to be a more well-balanced version of themselves. We are all human and sometimes need support in navigating our confusing, overwhelming thoughts and emotions. As my client, you are the expert on your unique life and are willing to share your story with me.

Whatever is affecting your life - whether it's depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, a mood disorder, addiction, family conflict, divorce, grief, anger or pain - you can begin the healing process today and move forward in a positive way. More importantly, you owe it to yourself and those you love to heal, succeed, and find the joy and peace you deserve.

I am drawn to the field of counseling because I have repeatedly seen the beneficial impact of being heard and feeling understood. I believe that talk therapy can provide relief and solace for everyone and allow them to feel comfortable in their own skin. I utilize person-centered approaches that foster empathy and compassion and allow us to build a strong connection that serves as the foundation of our work together. I am passionate about working with a diverse range of clients including people of color and those in the LGBTQ community!

As a therapist, my focus is to help individuals live full and enriching lives that honor their personal beliefs and values, not the convictions imposed on them by society, culture, or other outside forces. With an optimistic approach to my work, I recognize the limitations of the human condition but embrace each person’s growth potential to meet their therapeutic goals. With an ethics-based mindset, my theoretical orientation draws from Existential-Eclectic and Integrative therapies.

Hello! I look forward to creating a therapeutic space with you that is grounded in safety and developed trust. I offer telehealth services to those residing in Texas facing different backgrounds and challenges, with focus on: substance use and addiction, relationships, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, life transitions related to grief and loss, and life transitions related to personal growth. I have also helped those who have experienced trauma in their lives and are seeking a space to feel empowered and free of judgment. My approach to therapy is one with my belief that you are the expert of your own experiences!

A challenging responsibility in life is to heal emotional wounds. Family crisis, divorce, losses, anxiety or having a child with emotional or intellectual barriers to be successful in life without finding the desired answer creates frustration and distress. Psychotherapy as an alternative isn't the easiest answer but could be insightful and resilient. Children with developmental difficulties, learning disabilities, autism or conduct disorders can benefit from a holistic approach that considers the healing of their emotional pain as resource for reaching developmental goals. I work with a collaborative approach. You will discover your own potential and solutions to your specific circumstance.
