Hello and welcome! Therapy is a space to better understand yourself, work through life’s challenges, and find practical ways to move forward. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s in Social Work from Texas A&M University–Kingsville. My background includes outpatient behavioral health, school counseling, and university student support, where I’ve worked with children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and families from diverse backgrounds. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, and I believe your experiences and goals should guide our work together as we build coping skills, explore patterns, and find ways to make meaningful changes in your life.

My approach to therapy is person-centered, collaborative, and strengths-based. I believe therapy works best when we work together to understand your needs, identify your goals, and find strategies that fit your life. I draw from CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing, along with ACT-informed and trauma-informed approaches, to support self-awareness, emotional well-being, and healthy coping skills. My goal is to create a comfortable, judgment-free space where we can work together at a pace that feels right for you.

Starting therapy can feel a little unfamiliar, so I want this to be a comfortable space to ask questions, share what you’re looking for, and see if we might be a good fit. We’ll use our 15 minutes to get to know each other a little, talk about what brings you to therapy, and go over any questions you have about getting started.
