Therapy Session in Texas

Every child deserves to feel at home in their own skin. I am a Baylor-educated therapist and veteran specializing in trauma-informed care. I help people who are struggling with the weight of anxiety, depression, or PTSD find their footing again. By providing a non-judgmental, grounded environment, I help my clients move past 'just surviving' and into a life that feels authentic and joyful. Let’s work together to help your child rediscover their strength

I am an empathetic, authentic, and nonjudgmental Clinical Mental Health Counselor committed to providing compassionate, culturally responsive, and evidence-based care. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Clark Atlanta University and my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Houston Christian University, where I successfully passed the National Counselor Examination. My clinical experience includes working with children, adolescents, and adults across outpatient and higher levels of care, including PHP/IOP settings, with a strong emphasis on collaboration and individualized treatment. My therapeutic approach is integrative and client-centered, incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)–informed skills, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, psychoeducation, and strengths-based counseling. I am experienced in conducting comprehensive psychosocial assessments, clinical interviews, and ongoing treatment planning. I also bring extensive experience participating in and supporting IEP meetings, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, and translating clinical insights into practical, goal-oriented interventions. In addition to my clinical work, I have a strong background in special education, including experience developing individualized plans, advocating for client needs, and providing court testimony when required. This background has strengthened my ability to assess complex systems, maintain professional objectivity, and support clients and families navigating high-stakes and emotionally challenging situations. I prioritize building a trusting therapeutic relationship and strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel empowered to develop effective coping strategies, strengthen resilience, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

I am a compassionate mental health counselor who graduated from University of Rio Grande Valley. Most of my experience is working with children, adolescents, and young adults, supporting them as they navigate life’s challenges — from anxiety, depression, and anger management to PTSD, self-esteem concerns, and behavioral struggles. I also have experience in rehabilitative services, helping clients with disabilities build skills, confidence, and resilience. My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practices, including CBT, play therapy, and DBT skills, always tailored to each client’s personality and needs. I create a safe, nonjudgmental, trauma-informed, and neurodivergent-affirming environment where kids and young adults can explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and discover their strengths. Parents are an essential part of the journey — I partner with families to provide guidance and support, not just updates. A little about me personally: I love being outdoors, trying new adventures, and finding ways to bring curiosity and creativity into life. If you’re looking for a therapist who sees potential, respects your perspective, and makes therapy collaborative and meaningful, I would be honored to work with you.
