Hi! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with teens and young adults and families navigating anxiety, life transitions, and those “what am I doing with my life?” moments. I know reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, so I aim to create a space that feels real, relaxed, and judgment-free. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just need someone to talk things through with, I’m here to support you. I also offer a bilingual and culturally aware space where you can show up fully as yourself.

Therapist

Every person has a story. The culmination of experiences in one's life shapes how they view themselves, their relationships, and the world. I have a passion for helping clients celebrate their unique strengths and gifts they share with others. With experiences in both private practice and hospitals, I have noticed a particular need for clients to separate their view of themselves from their current difficulties and circumstances. In spite of where clients may find themselves at the moment, my belief is that they have overcome every difficulty, challenge, and trauma that they have faced up to the present moment. As such, they will withstand their current circumstances, and will again declare victory.

Therapist

Virtual • Lubbock, TX


Everyone has a story, and I believe healing begins when someone finally has the space to tell it without fear of judgment.

I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, and life's unexpected challenges. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply exhausted from carrying too much for too long, therapy can become a place where things begin to make sense again.

I spent more than 25 years walking alongside people through some of life's most difficult moments. Today, I combine that life experience with evidence-based therapy to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and move toward lasting change.

My goal isn't simply to help you feel better—it's to help you heal in ways that create meaningful and lasting transformation.
