I genuinely care about the people I work with. I became a therapist later in life to give back after my own healing journey transformed me and my marriage. Clients describe me as compassionate but direct. I will go in the trenches with you, hold your hand, address what’s keeping you stuck, and help you create real, lasting change. My greatest reward is seeing clients step out of survival mode and into self-trust, peace, and connection.

Therapist

I'm a licensed clinician with experience providing individual, couples, and co-parenting counseling. I hold a Master's in Social Work, and I'm licensed in both Texas and California.

My clinical background is eclectic—I draw from multiple modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and tailor my approach to each client's needs rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all method.

I specialize in working with individuals navigating major life transitions and those experiencing anxiety, burnout, or relational stress.
