Therapist

I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely safe, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can openly process your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life experiences without feeling rushed or criticized. I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, so I approach each client with compassion, curiosity, and respect for their unique story and lived experience.

My style is warm, relational, and conversational while still grounded in evidence-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to help them better understand emotional patterns, increase self-awareness, strengthen communication, and develop practical tools they can use outside of sessions. I value creating a therapeutic relationship that feels authentic and empowering, where clients can feel comfortable being honest, asking questions, and moving at a pace that feels manageable for them.

I work with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, emotional overwhelm, and patterns that may leave them feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves. Together, we focus on creating meaningful and sustainable change while also making space for reflection, healing, and personal growth.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Pflugerville, TX


Professionally, I have spent a decade in education (five years as a classroom teacher and five years as a school counselor). This is my third year as a therapist outside of the school setting.

For my masters degree, I attended Texas State University in San Marcos, TX (Eat 'em up cats!). At Texas State, I completed my MA in Professional Counseling with two focuses: school counseling and clinical mental health.

As a former educator, the populations I support include adolescents, young adults, educators, parents/guardians, and caretakers.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or exhausted by trying to manage your mental health on your own? Do you feel discouraged by the trial-and-error cycle of medications, uncertain whether anything will truly help, or unsure how to quiet the anxiety or heaviness that follows you through daily life?

You deserve care that feels clear, intentional, and supportive—care that respects who you are and where you come from. This is a space where your voice, culture, and lived experiences matter. Services are offered with cultural sensitivity, and support is available in Spanish for those who feel more comfortable expressing themselves in their native language.

Your needs come first—whether that means thoughtful medication management to reduce symptoms, supportive therapy to help you feel understood, or a combination of both. Together, we focus on stabilizing mood, easing anxiety and depression, and helping you regain a sense of direction and control. This is a space where your concerns are taken seriously, your experiences are validated, and your treatment is tailored to help you build clarity, resilience, and lasting well-being—step by step, at your pace.

You should know that I truly care about who you are, not just the symptoms you’re experiencing. I understand that reaching out for mental health support can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve ever felt judged, misunderstood, or dismissed in the past. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected from the very first conversation.

I approach every person with compassion, patience, and curiosity. I take the time to understand your story, your stressors, and what matters most to you, so your care is never one-size-fits-all. I believe healing happens best when you feel supported and involved in your treatment, and I see our work as a true partnership.

I am committed to using evidence-based practices while also honoring your lived experience. Whether we are focusing on medication, coping strategies, or long-term growth, I will always be honest, supportive, and collaborative.

Above all, you should know that you are not alone here, and your well-being is my priority.
