Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 14 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I began my professional career as an engineer before transitioning into mental health work, driven by a deep desire to help people navigate change, build insight, and feel more at ease with themselves.

My approach to therapy

I strive to create a warm, supportive space that balances acceptance and growth. I believe meaningful change begins with understanding and self-compassion. As Carl Rogers said, “When I accept myself as I am, then I change.” I meet clients where they are while offering practical tools to help them move forward.

What you can expect from me

I work with concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, grief, addiction, family conflict, and LGBTQ+-affirming care. My approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based therapy, and client-centered therapy. I offer telehealth services and am licensed in Texas.
