Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem, negative thoughts, unhealthy relationships or the inability to say NO! Are you tired of feeling like nothing will change or your stuck in life because you don't know what to do to make it better? I focus on adults using CBT, REBT, Person Centered and Motivational interviewing to assist clients in learning more about themselves and their perspective on life. I have experience working with many different mental health disorders including depression, anxiety, stress, marital/relationship issues and career struggles to name a few.
I use various therapies, including person-centered, solution focused, cognitive behavioral therapy, and supportive counseling. I am fluent in Spanish and have a tender heart for students and the elderly.
Life can feel overwhelming when you're carrying the weight of anxiety, difficult relationships, or painful experiences from the past. You may find yourself putting others first, struggling with boundaries, or feeling stuck in patterns you can't seem to change. I work with adults who are ready to better understand themselves, heal from past experiences, and create healthier relationships. Together, we'll explore what's keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and help you move toward a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and authentic.
Getting honest about what you are carrying can feel like the hardest and loneliest thing you have ever done. I work with adults, teens, and older adults who are navigating recovery, trauma, anxiety, depression, anger, and the big life transitions that leave you feeling stuck. A lot of the people I see have been holding things together on the outside for a long time while quietly struggling underneath. Clients often tell me they finally feel heard and understood here, without any judgment.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience helping adults find clarity, relief, and real change. I hold a minor in family studies and a certification in refugee studies, which deepened my commitment to working with people from all walks of life, including those who have faced systemic hardship or displacement. My clinical background spans anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, mood disorders, military and veteran family challenges, generational trauma, and relationship-based harm. I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel truly heard and never judged.
I have been licensed since 2020 and have been working in a private practice ever since. Currently I see individuals ages 13 and up. I am a straight forward counselor and not afraid to call clients out on their inconsistencies. (You are saying you want these changes in life to be made but are your actions in line with your goals). Overall I go by the motto..if you are not changing it, then you are choosing it.
Hello—I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I received my Master’s degree from the University of Utah in 2009. I deeply believe in the value of seeking support—because being human means navigating both grief and gratitude, often at the same time.
There are seasons in life when we need additional support, and you don’t have to move through those alone. I strive in helping you reconnect with yourself, build self-trust, and make sense of what you’re carrying.
I specialize in women’s mental health, anxiety, betrayal trauma, divorce, grief, and loss.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience supporting adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, stress, and major life transitions. My background includes behavioral health, crisis intervention, child welfare, and inpatient psychiatric care, which has given me a strong foundation in helping people navigate complex and difficult situations.
I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable being yourself and know you won’t be judged. My goal is to create a supportive, down‐to‐earth space where we can understand what’s happening in your life, identify what you want to change, and develop practical ways to move forward.
I believe therapy should be a place where you feel safe, heard, and accepted. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, ADHD, grief, or major life transitions, my goal is to help you better understand yourself, develop effective coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington and have experience in private practice, medical social work, community mental health, and pediatric therapy. I am EMDR-trained and integrate evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed therapy, Motivational Interviewing, strengths-based therapy, and play therapy when working with children.
I work with clients across the lifespan and enjoy helping people heal from trauma, manage anxiety and stress, improve emotional regulation, strengthen relationships, and build resilience. My approach is collaborative and individualized because I believe every person brings unique strengths and experiences to therapy.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you move toward healing, growth, and the life you want to create.
