Seeking support can feel overwhelming, but therapy should be a place where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported without judgment. I work with adolescents and adults navigating challenges related to anxiety, depression, substance use, behavioral concerns, emotional regulation, and difficult life transitions. My goal is to help clients build practical tools, gain insight, and feel more confident managing the stressors that impact their daily lives.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. I believe every person brings unique strengths into the therapeutic process, and I work alongside clients to help them recognize those strengths while creating meaningful and lasting change.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who earned my Master’s degree from the University of Texas at Arlington. Since beginning clinical practice in 2022, I have worked with adolescents and adults experiencing a wide range of mental health, substance use, and behavioral challenges. I strive to create a welcoming environment where clients feel heard, validated, and empowered throughout their healing 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.
