Welcome—I’m so glad you’re here. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Houston, Texas, and I work with individuals, and couples who are navigating trauma, anxiety, crisis, life transitions, and relationship challenges. As a trauma therapist, I provide anxiety therapy, marriage counseling, and Christian counseling for those who would like to integrate faith as part of their healing journey. My counseling journey began in South Africa, where I practiced as a registered counselor before moving to the United States, and that multicultural experience helps me connect with people from many different backgrounds. I use approaches such as CBT, EMDR, narrative therapy, attachment-based work, and mindfulness to create a safe and supportive space where you can feel understood while working toward healing, clarity, and lasting change.

I believe you are the expert of your own story and experiences. Because of this, I take a client-centered and relational approach to counseling, creating a safe and compassionate space where you can feel seen, heard, and respected. I work with teens, individuals, and couples navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and relationship challenges. In our work together, you will be supported in processing difficult experiences, developing healthier patterns, and building resilience using approaches such as CBT, EMDR, narrative therapy, attachment-informed work, and mindfulness. For those who desire it, I also offer Christian counseling that thoughtfully integrates faith into the therapeutic process. My hope is that through our work together, you will gain clarity, strengthen your sense of identity, and move toward healing, growth, and greater emotional freedom.

During our first session, you can expect a welcoming and warm environment where we will begin getting to know one another. You will have space to share what has been weighing on you and what led you to seek counseling. Together, we will work toward understanding your context, concerns, and what you hope to gain from the counseling process. We will begin exploring your goals for therapy and what a possible roadmap for our work together might look like. By the end of the session, you will have a clearer sense of direction and how we can begin moving toward healing, clarity, and growth together.
