I am a licensed mental health therapist in the great state of Texas with at least 7 years of professional work experience. I take exceptional pride of making sure each client has a free and protected space to feel vulnerable and safe to process raw emotions, feelings, thoughts, and experiences. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, bereavement, grief, and confidence, & depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. From an Adlerian Therapy approach, I want to help encourage and empower clients to identify and use their strengths to attain their goals, with the power of learning their own positive psychology.
My goodness-CONGRATULATIONS to you! It takes courage to seek help-and I am here to support & empower you through your journey of healing! So let healing BEGIN, right here! I want to hear your story! Right now!

She is incredibly understanding, supportive, and refreshingly direct, which I truly appreciate. I love that our sessions don’t feel stiff or overly serious, it genuinely feels like talking to a friend who also knows exactly when to challenge me and keep me grounded. I always leave feeling heard, validated, and clearer than when I walked in.
