About

I believe that no one should have to live with crippling anxiety, depression, faced with previous traumatic events or any mental health issues. I want to help guide you through whatever you personally may be experiencing and help you achieve your most successful, mentally healthy and authentic self. I am here to support and empower you.

I am a licensed professional counselor in Texas with about 8 years of experience working as a counselor and advocate. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, impulsivity, LGBTQ+ concerns, family issues, trauma, PTSD, substance abuse, grief and loss, anger management, etc. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I have worked with survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, gun shot victims, and other traumatic experiences.

I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, client-centered therapy and motivational interviewing. I also believe and practice mindfulness and meditation as calming tools and coping skills. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I believe that everyone is the expert in their own lives and about their situation. I want to work with you to devise a treatment plan specific to your situation and help you achieve your personal goals. In order to have a successful therapeutic relationship I am a friendly professional who is willing to challenge existing thought processes and patterns to push you out of your comfort zone and into your brightest potential.

I look forward to working with you!
