Intro Style Cost More info

Great to meet you!

I hold a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Houston, and my practice has been dedicated to serving the LGBTQ+ community, with a focus on mental health and wellness. I have extensive experience working with individuals living with HIV, and addressing mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is built on the foundation that you are the expert in your life. I hope to be a supportive companion on your journey of healing, offering guidance and resources as you navigate your path towards growth, self-discovery, and transformation.

What you can expect from our first session

From our first session, I want you to feel more aware of the way you're experiencing your reality. Through our work together, I aim to help you channel your most compassionate, confident, and courageous self, so that you don't need me anymore.
