I have a bachelor's degree in Behavioral Science from University of Houston-Clearlake. I have a master's degree in Social Work from the University of Houston Graduate School of Social Work. Additionally, I am a trauma fellow at U of H, where I completed additional training in trauma-informed care.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor.

I offer online therapy sessions for individuals living anywhere in the state of Texas.

My approach is client-centered, collaborative, and evidence-based — focused on building a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel truly seen and understood. I’m here to walk alongside you, wherever your path may lead.

My practice is a safe and affirming space for the LGBTQ+ community and other marginalized groups. Everyone deserves a place where they can be heard, supported, and accepted exactly as they are.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your healing journey, I’d be honored to support you.

Your first therapy session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a relationship based on trust, safety, and respect. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, any challenges you’re currently facing, and what you hope to gain from our work together. I’ll ask questions to better understand your experiences, but you’ll never be pressured to share more than you’re comfortable with. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. By the end of our first session, we’ll begin identifying goals for therapy and discuss a plan that feels right for you, so you can leave with a clearer understanding of the path forward.
