Together we will explore the challenges you're facing, better understand your thoughts and emotions, and identify patterns that may be holding you back. We'll build practical skills to help you navigate difficult situations, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful changes that align with your goals and values.

Warm, approachable, and easy to talk to. I strive to create an environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves, whether we're discussing something difficult or finding moments of humor along the way. I offer a balance of compassion, honest feedback, and gentle encouragement to help clients feel supported while growing.

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, explore your concerns, and discuss what you're hoping to gain from our work together. There's no pressure to share everything right away. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, answer your questions, and begin building a trusting relationship

I've always been drawn to understanding people and the experiences that shape who we are. I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported through life's challenges. Becoming a therapist allows me to combine my curiosity about human behavior with my passion for helping others discover their strengths and create meaningful change.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Houston, Texas, working with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, and emotional regulation. I incorporate approaches such as CBT, DBT, and ACT to tailor therapy to each person's needs. I offer both in-person and virtual sessions.
