There are moments where each of us experience difficult and stressful points in our lives. Whether it's a painful divorce, the loss of a loved one, the loss of a job, going through stress in a relationship, unresolved self-esteem issues, questions about gender or sexuality, dealing with a troubled child, family stress, or facing pain from childhood and/or adult trauma. Life can be hard at times; there is no doubt about that. I have come to view those challenging times that we all experience, albeit in different ways, as opportunities for us to make positive changes and adjustments - what I like to call "reset moments."
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I rely on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help move my clients to lasting change. I have experience working in schools, hospitals, and in my own private practice. Through individual counseling, we move from places of stagnation and fear into the amazing future that each of us deserves and I believe we can have.
I am always amazed at the strength and courage of my clients. It's never easy to take that first step, to commit to the process of change, to put in the effort to do the hard work, and to hope for more. We must always remember that each of us has the power to be who we are intended to be and to create the lives we want. I look forward to working with you...

It can feel daunting to begin therapy. You may know you are struggling with your relationships, work, or personal fulfillment yet it can feel difficult to seek help. In my practice, I will work with you in a safe space to explore and address the difficulties the prevent you from living a fulfilling life. I utilize eclectic approaches including psychodynamic, relational, existential, and attachment-based theories.
I integrate specialized approaches in my work with folks who identify as Muslim, Middle Eastern, North African, and South Asian. I provide a non-judgmental and safe space for LGBTQ, kink, and poly persons of color in my practice. I have personal and professional experience with acculturation and specialize in providing cross-cultural therapy for biracial/bi-cultural issues.
I work with adults struggling with anxiety, sexual disorders, chronic medical conditions, bereavement, trauma, and relationships.
I graduated from the University of Texas at Tyler with a Master's Degree in Counseling and am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I spent the beginning of my career in mental health working at an MHMR, as well as with those struggling with addiction and eating disorders.
As a clinician, it brings me joy to watch others get excited about life again – to learn the fine details about oneself, reject false ideas, and unlock parts that have been inaccessible for far too long. There is a ripple effect in healing. The power of investing a listening ear and welcoming vulnerability in its rawest form can change a landscape for many lifetimes to come. For many, therapy is the first space a person has been heard in an unconditional way. While speaking your deepest fears, hopes, thoughts, and needs aloud can feel daunting, I am here to ensure that your journey is more than just talk—it is a safe, empowering, and deeply transformative experience. There is a vibrant version of you just beneath the surface, waiting for permission to explore, the courage to heal, and the space to create."

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work in various levels of care, including residential and intensive outpatient settings, where I gained invaluable clinical experience and a deeper appreciation for mental health care..


Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Corpus Christi starts with knowing what kind of support matters most to you. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, gender identity, or the effects of minority stress, a provider with specific experience in LGBTQIA+ mental health care can make a meaningful difference. Licensed providers — such as LPCs, LCSWs, psychologists, and psychiatrists — who identify as affirming have training or direct experience working with queer and gender-diverse individuals.
Corpus Christi is a mid-sized metro, and the number of local LGBTQIA+-affirming providers may be more limited than in larger Texas cities like Houston or San Antonio. Virtual sessions can expand your options significantly, connecting you with affirming providers licensed in Texas who may not practice locally. On Headway, you can browse providers by specialty and read detailed bios to understand their approach and background before reaching out.
Therapy in Corpus Christi can be expensive without insurance, but in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to see estimated session costs before booking — and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit depending on their plan and location.
