Great to meet you!

Seeking support can feel overwhelming, but therapy should be a place where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported without judgment. I work with adolescents and adults navigating challenges related to anxiety, depression, substance use, behavioral concerns, emotional regulation, and difficult life transitions. My goal is to help clients build practical tools, gain insight, and feel more confident managing the stressors that impact their daily lives.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. I believe every person brings unique strengths into the therapeutic process, and I work alongside clients to help them recognize those strengths while creating meaningful and lasting change.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who earned my master’s degree from the University of Texas at Arlington. Since beginning clinical practice in 2022, I have worked with adolescents and adults experiencing a wide range of mental health, substance use, and behavioral challenges. I strive to create a welcoming environment where clients feel heard, validated, and empowered throughout their healing journey.

If you have any questions or do not see an appointment that is available that works for you, please do not hesitate to reach out!
