I also have a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by those affiliated with the military, whether active duty, dependents, or veterans.

Taking the step to seek support is a brave and important choice, and I’m honored to be part of your journey.

As a licensed therapist in Texas and Alabama, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on understanding each person's unique journey, with a deep commitment to creating an affirming, inclusive therapeutic space. I bring expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and relationship dynamics. My practice focuses on supporting young adults, LGBTQ+ individuals, veterans, and multicultural communities through life transitions, interpersonal challenges, and personal growth. I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients develop stronger communication skills, process difficult emotions, and cultivate self-compassion.

I provide people of all backgrounds with a grounded, nonjudgmental space to be genuine, slow down, and look honestly at who they are and how they arrived here. Therapy with me is not about fixing who you are—it’s about understanding yourself deeply enough to decide where growth is needed and what no longer fits your life today. As a licensed therapist in Louisiana and Texas, with over two decades of experience, I actively challenge clients in thoughtful, respectful ways to increase psychological flexibility. This includes learning how to reframe and reconstruct long-held viewpoints, examine patterns shaped by life history, and shift perspectives that may once have been protective but are no longer serving you. Your past matters—not as something to stay stuck in, but as a guide for recognizing what you are ready to keep, what needs to change, and what belongs in the archive rather than your present lifestyle. I believe meaningful change requires honest self-reflection and full acceptance of who you have been, without shame or avoidance. From that grounded place, we can identify your current stage of change, clarify what growth looks like for you now, and move intentionally toward it—whether that involves radical acceptance, empowered decision-making, or actively choosing a new direction. I work best with adults in their mid-twenties and older who are ready to engage thoughtfully in the therapeutic process. My clinical strengths include relationship dynamics, empowerment, identity development, perspective-shifting, and helping clients navigate periods of transition, breakthrough, or recalibration with clarity and purpose.

Like so many of us, I’ve juggled work, parenting and relationships while forgetting to take care of myself.
