- LCSW
I am a licensed clinical social worker licensed in Texas with 7 years of professional work experience. I have a Master of Social Work degree from University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, and finely honed training in diagnostic assessment and psychotherapy. I have been practicing since 2018 and have worked in different clinical settings including inpatient and outpatient and with all population. My therapeutic approach is tailored specifically to each individual. I believe in treatment philosophy that incorporates multicultural perspective and integrated approach. I treat adults from ages 18-65 years. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, bipolar disorder, relationship issues, coping with grief, coping with loss, motivation, self-esteem, & confidence. I also have experience working with depression and anger management. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

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.
