Therapy Session in Texas

I am a compassionate and dedicated mental health counselor who is passionate about supporting children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate life’s challenges and transitions. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, emotional regulation difficulties, self-esteem concerns, trauma-related symptoms, and life changes. My approach to therapy is collaborative, strengths-based, and grounded in empathy. I believe that healing begins when clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can openly explore their thoughts and emotions while developing practical coping skills that promote lasting change. I value meeting each client where they are and tailoring treatment to their unique needs, experiences, and goals. Together, we focus on building self-awareness, resilience, and confidence while working toward greater emotional balance and clarity. My goal is to empower clients to reconnect with their strengths, develop healthier patterns, and move forward with intention and hope.

Connection is at the heart of my work. I believe healing starts when adolescents and young adults feel truly seen, heard, and understood. I bring experience from community mental health, inpatient, and outpatient settings, and before becoming a therapist, I worked as a long-term substitute—giving me firsthand insight into the academic, emotional, and social pressures young people face every day. I work with teens and young adults navigating depression, grief, life transitions, parental conflict, and the stress that often comes with being highly sensitive or a high performer. My “why” is personal. I’ve experienced my own struggles, which deeply shape the way I show up in the therapy room—with empathy, authenticity, and zero judgment. My approach is relational, down-to-earth, and collaborative, focused on building trust first and helping clients feel more connected to themselves and others. For parents, I value partnership and supporting growth while honoring each child’s individuality.

Every adult deserves to feel at home in their own skin. As a Baylor-educated therapist and veteran, I specialize in trauma-informed care for those navigating the weight of PTSD, anxiety, or major life transitions. 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 rediscover your strength and move forward with purpose.
