I am a Licensed Clinical Social Work Supervisor and 5th year postgraduate Psychoanalytic Scholar with the Dallas Psychoanalytic Center. I have a passion for helping others find deep, lasting change as opposed to mere symptom relief.

I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ identities and those impacted by trauma. I had the privilege of launching the first PTSD Intensive Outpatient Program for U.S. military in Korea, treating sexual, childhood, and combat-related trauma, and this experience, combined with my analytic background, largely informs my approach to care.

I am a licensed mental health professional who works with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, and the emotional impact of difficult experiences. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood as they work through life’s challenges.

I believe therapy is most effective when it is a collaborative process. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I take the time to understand each person’s unique experiences, strengths, and goals. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about what comes next. Together, we explore those challenges, build insight, and identify practical steps toward meaningful change.

I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, and deep respect for each person’s story. My hope is that clients leave each session feeling more grounded, empowered, and confident in their ability to navigate life’s challenges and move forward with greater clarity.

I'm so glad you found your way here — reaching out for therapy takes real courage, and I don't take that lightly. Maybe anxiety has you lying awake replaying conversations, or a past trauma keeps surfacing when you least expect it. Maybe the highs and lows of bipolar disorder feel impossible to predict, or you're carrying PTSD, panic, or anger you've never had space to unpack. Wherever you are, you don't have to sort it out alone.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas, working with teens and adults navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, panic, anger, and the daily stressors that quietly pile up. I have a special heart for LGBTQIA+ and transgender clients, and for anyone working through identity, relationship, family, or women's issues. My training spans inpatient hospital care, a group home for children in foster care, and outpatient practice — so I've sat with people in their hardest moments and helped them find steadier ground. My goal is simple: to help you feel understood, supported, and capable of moving forward.

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.

I hold certifications in:

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

My training includes:

  • Somatic Therapy
  • Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)
  • Solution-Focused Therapy
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills & mindfulness
  • Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
  • Perinatal Mental Health
