LGBT therapists in Missouri City, TX

Stuck in survival mode? Crashing out? Riding the hot mess express? Maybe it is the first time sharing the deep, raw truth of your story... or maybe you’re tired of saying it over and over and feeling like other people don’t really “get” it. You don't have to pretend everything's okay or fit into a mold. I'm here for the real you. We can build your own personal path to healing. I help people do this by exploring thoughts, gaining insight, and developing tools to thrive.

I’m a licensed clinical therapist in Texas with a master’s degree in Direct Practice Social Work, earned in 2016; proudly a first-generation college graduate! I believe everyone's background, values and traditions shape how they understand healing, connection, and resilience. I have always been one to honor and respect the diverse cultural identities, traditions, and lived experiences in others and within myself. Throughout the years, I've been attuned to how therapeutic experiences can show up in different ways when one is open in empathy, self-awareness and commitment to make positive changes.

My practice is rooted in trauma-informed, holistic therapy—supporting the mind, body, and spirit as interconnected pathways to healing. I believe therapy is a deeply personal journey that unfolds through curiosity, compassion, and self-awareness. Through an integrative lens in our sessions, my goal is to help you feel grounded, empowered, and supported —co-creating a safe, calming space where you can tune into yourself, process what’s been heavy, rediscover your strengths and find lasting healing on every level.

• Critical Incident Stress Management (CCISM)
• Trauma-Conscious Yoga Method (TCYM)
• Callahan Techniques, Thought Field Therapy (TFT-Alg)
• Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP)

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience providing mental health support across diverse community settings. I have had the privilege of working with individuals ranging from young children to older adults, supporting them through a wide spectrum of emotional and behavioral challenges commonly described in the DSM-5-TR. I believe deeply in the inherent resilience and healing power within every person. My role is to help individuals uncover that strength, make sense of their experiences, and move toward healthier, more fulfilling lives. I pursue this work not for financial gain, but because I truly love what I do and feel honored to walk alongside others on their healing journey.

My style is warm and collaborative! I want my clients to feel heard and validated. I work with teenagers and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, and difficulties managing overwhelming emotions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to cope with the challenges they are facing. I will help you with patterns of behavior that are no longer serving you.
