Therapy Session in Texas

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate supervised by Swathi Weaver, Ph.D., LPC-S providing virtual therapy to children, adolescents, and adults across Texas. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating disorders, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I especially love working with adolescents and teens navigating this stage of life, as well as young adults experiencing high levels of stress or feeling stuck. My approach is warm, relational, and trauma-informed. I view therapy as a collaborative process, walking alongside clients in a way that feels supportive, empowering, and balanced. I integrate evidence-based modalities including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to support emotional regulation, self-awareness, and meaningful, values-aligned change. When working with children, I incorporate play therapy and creative approaches to help them express emotions, build coping skills, and feel safe in the therapeutic space. I also collaborate with caregivers to support growth and strengthen family dynamics. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen and understood for who you are, and safe enough to try, learn, and move forward at your own pace.

Hi, I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate and Recreational Therapist based in Texas. I work with adolescents and adults who are navigating life transitions, emotional challenges, and the everyday stress that can sometimes feel overwhelming. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Southern Mississippi (my home state) in Therapeutic Recreation with a minor in Psychology. I later earned my Master’s of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Texas Southern University. Along the way, I’ve had the opportunity to work in both teaching and therapy roles, which allows me to bring a supportive, engaging, and down-to-earth approach into the work I do with clients. My style is warm, collaborative, and real. I want you to feel like you can show up as yourself—no pressure, no judgment. I use a person-centered foundation while integrating approaches like CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and experiential techniques to help you better understand yourself and build tools that actually work in your day-to-day life. I have experience supporting clients with anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I’m especially passionate about helping people build emotional awareness, set healthy boundaries, and reconnect with who they are outside of stress, expectations, or past experiences. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to figure everything out on your own. My goal is to walk alongside you, helping you gain clarity, feel more grounded, and move toward a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling.
