I believe healing happens when people feel safe enough to be honest—with themselves and with someone else. My approach is grounded, compassionate, and collaborative. I work with clients who feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. I integrate mindfulness, emotional regulation, and culturally responsive care to support clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and identity-related concerns. I especially enjoy working with clients who are ready to slow down, reflect, and build a more grounded relationship with their emotions. I strive to create a space where you feel seen, respected, and supported—without judgment or pressure to have it all figured out. Therapy with me is not about fixing you; it’s about helping you reconnect with your strengths and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust.

I’m a licensed counselor in Texas with 20 years of experience, specializing in crisis intervention and suicide prevention. While I have extensive experience working with individuals involved in the legal system—including those who are incarcerated, recently released, or facing legal challenges; my practice is open to anyone seeking support. I work with adults from all walks of life who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, feeling stuck, or questioning, “Am I normal?” My approach is casual, compassionate, and collaborative. I believe that therapy should be a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself, and I tailor each session to meet YOUR individual needs and comfort level. When appropriate, I also find that a sense of humor can be a powerful part of the healing process. I provided mental health services in jail for about 19 years and I have truly seen it all, so you never have to worry about being judged and don’t have to hold back or filter yourself. In addition to working with clients facing personal struggles, I also support professionals in high-stress roles; such as law enforcement, correctional officers, attorneys, and first responders. Reaching out for help takes courage and can feel scary, and I'm glad you’re here. Whether you're dealing with something specific or just feeling overwhelmed, we can work through it together.

I use Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy - evidence-based, structured approaches designed to help my clients process trauma and build coping skills that hold up when the air feels thin. Sessions focus on reducing avoidance, managing triggers, and developing actionable relapse prevention strategies, one stage at a time.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or the weight of past experiences, you’re not alone. Many people reach out for support when their thoughts feel constant, their emotions feel exhausting, or they’re unsure how to move forward—and therapy can help create clarity and relief. I am a licensed mental health professional with experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, stress, and traumatic experiences. My work focuses on helping clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behavioral patterns so they can develop healthier coping strategies and feel more confident in their daily lives. I have experience working with adults who struggle with anxiety, emotional distress, past trauma, and low self-confidence. Many clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Together we work to identify underlying patterns, process difficult experiences, and develop practical tools for managing emotional distress. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and supportive. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). These approaches help clients process, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthier emotional responses and process past experiences that continue to cause distress. I believe therapy should be a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can openly explore their experiences. My goal is to help clients gain insight, develop resilience, and create meaningful and lasting changes in their lives. I work with individuals experiencing persistent worry, overthinking, emotional overwhelm, and the impact of past experiences. Many clients seek support when they feel mentally exhausted, have difficulty relaxing, or notice that stress and anxiety are interfering with their daily functioning. Therapy focuses on building practical coping skills, increasing self-awareness, and helping clients feel more grounded and in control of their lives.
