I am a Licensed Psychologist and Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas who obtained both my MED in Counseling and PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Houston. I have worked in a variety of practicum settings and completed my pre-doctoral internship at South Texas Veteran’s Health Care System in SATX. These settings facilitated my skillset as a trauma-informed, broadly trained, and evidence-based generalist ready to meet you where you are.
I use a combination of conversational, talk therapy and EBPs to individualize your treatment to help you unlock patterns, unpack trauma, navigate everyday human experiences, and empower you to be your ideal self. Authenticity and growth are not mutually exclusive; you are wonderful exactly as you are and can grow. I will support, encourage, celebrate with, and challenge you; it is not always butterflies and rainbows in my office. Healing happens in the midst of discomfort, and I am with you.
"Therapy is more than simply listening. It is the capacity to gently hold space, challenge, and uplift every soul who chooses to sit in the chair across from you. It is providing a space that envelops self- and other-perpetuated lies and negativity, blocks out the noise of the world, and promotes healing & growth. It is recognizing that we are both perfect and beautifully flawed individuals, capable of change. It is always reminding you that the strongest thing you can do is to be vulnerable.”
