You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism-related challenges, parenting concerns, or a major life transition. Whatever brings you to therapy, I want to provide a space where you feel understood, supported, and comfortable being yourself.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate with a master’s degree from Lamar University and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Texas A&M University. My journey to becoming a therapist began in education, where I worked as both a teacher and school counselor in the Dallas area. Supporting children, adolescents, and families during those years showed me the importance of feeling understood and supported, and those experiences continue to shape the way I practice today.

I work with children, teens, adults, and parents across Texas through virtual therapy. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and neurodivergent-affirming, with a focus on helping clients better understand themselves, navigate challenges, and create meaningful change in their lives.

In addition to therapy, I have experience conducting diagnostic evaluations for ADHD, autism, and a range of mental health concerns, as well as immigration evaluations. This work has deepened my appreciation for the unique ways each person experiences the world and reinforced the importance of understanding the whole person rather than focusing solely on a diagnosis.

I believe therapy is most effective when it feels collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique experiences and goals. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I work alongside each client to understand their strengths, challenges, and what matters most to them.

My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), person-centered therapy, and mindfulness-based practices. I thoughtfully integrate these approaches based on your individual needs, recognizing that every person’s journey is different.

I also offer Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), helping parents strengthen connection, communication, confidence, and relationships with their children experiencing behavioral difficulties.

At the heart of my work is the belief that meaningful growth begins with connection—to ourselves, to others, and to what matters most. Together, we’ll build practical tools, deepen self-understanding, and create meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.

My goal is to help you recognize and build on your strengths, reconnect with what matters most, and feel more confident navigating life’s challenges. Wherever you are in your journey, you deserve a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward.
