- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in Texas, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on helping clients address challenges like depression, anxiety, social isolation, and self-esteem concerns. I'm particularly passionate about supporting young adults and women working through life transitions, workplace stress, and personal growth.
My therapeutic approach centers on creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences and develop meaningful strategies for healing. I draw from evidence-based practices to help individuals build self-love, improve communication skills, and work through difficult emotions like guilt, shame, and attachment challenges.
I understand that seeking therapy takes courage, and I'm committed to walking alongside you as you discover your inner strength and create positive change. Whether you're struggling with panic attacks, relationship difficulties, or feeling stuck in your personal journey, I'm here to provide supportive, personalized guidance.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
