What I want my clients to know about me is that I genuinely believe therapy should feel like a space where you can exhale. Life can be overwhelming, and many people spend so much time trying to hold everything together that they rarely have a place where they feel fully seen, understood, and supported without judgment. My goal is to create that space for you.
I approach therapy with compassion, honesty, and collaboration. I don’t believe clients need to be “fixed.” I believe people often need support understanding themselves more deeply, healing from painful experiences, and learning healthier ways to navigate life, relationships, stress, and emotions. I work alongside my clients to help them reconnect with their values, build emotional resilience, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling. (Headway)
My style is warm and supportive, but also practical. I want therapy to feel meaningful and useful, not like a place where you simply vent without growth. I often incorporate approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients recognize patterns that keep them stuck while building healthier coping skills and greater self-awareness.
I also understand how difficult it can be to ask for help in the first place. Many clients come into therapy carrying shame, self-doubt, anxiety, trauma, or the pressure of trying to meet everyone else’s expectations while neglecting their own needs. I strive to meet clients exactly where they are emotionally and help them feel safe enough to be honest about what they’re experiencing — even the parts they may have never shared out loud before.
You do not have to have everything figured out before you start. You simply have to be willing to show up as yourself, and we can work through the rest together.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and board-approved supervisor in Texas. I received my Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2017 from The University of Texas at Tyler. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the effects of past experiences that continue to show up in the present.
In my work, I focus on creating a space that feels steady, supportive, and nonjudgmental. Many of the people I work with aren’t always sure where to start. They may just know that something feels off or overwhelming. Together, we begin to make sense of those experiences in a way that feels more manageable.
My educational and professional background is in psychology and education, and I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families.
