Great to meet you!

I graduated from University of Houston with my Masters in Education in Counseling Psychology. I was trained in DBT at the DBT Center of Houston, where I began as an intern and later became a therapist where I conducted individual therapy sessions and lead DBT skills groups.


Outside of the therapy office I am a mommy to a toddler son who keeps me on my toes. I enjoy spending time with my friends, my family and traveling.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in areas including anxiety, depression, emotion dysregulation, borderline personality disorder, stress reduction. I am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and enjoy bringing aspects of DBT into my person-centered approach. I strive to provide individualized treatment to each client based on their needs.

What you can expect from me

During your first therapy session. I’ll break down what therapy is all about, talk about keeping your information confidential, and answer any questions you might have. We’ll chat about why you’re seeking therapy, what you hope to achieve, and any concerns you might have. The main focus will be on building a good rapport, learning more about you, and setting expectations. Most importantly, you’ll have a safe and non-judgmental space to express your feelings and experiences whenever you’re ready.
