About
I genuinely understand how confusing and overwhelming it can feel when life seems to be falling apart, but finding new tools for healing can help us find strength and hope again.
I am a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with 11 years of experience supporting adolescents, adults, couples, and families through life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship challenges. I am passionate about helping people find healing, growth, and balance as they navigate difficult seasons of life. My approach is collaborative, warm, and centered on creating a safe space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move toward meaningful change.
I earned my master’s in clinical mental health counseling from the University of Texas at Tyler. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based therapy, family systems, and creative therapeutic tools to meet each client’s needs. I also focus on helping clients build skills that encourage resilience and long-term emotional well-being.
You do not need to have everything figured out to begin therapy. I am here to listen with compassion and help you take steps toward healing at your own pace. When you are ready, we can begin this journey together and work toward creating a healthier, more balanced, and fulfilling life.

Online therapy can last for a few months to years depending on the goals and symptoms of the client.

Timing is also up to the client themselves; they are free to stop therapy whenever they please, especially if they feel they have reached their goals and addressed their concerns.
