I am a licensed mental health professional who works with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, and the emotional impact of difficult experiences. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood as they work through life’s challenges.
I believe therapy is most effective when it is a collaborative process. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I take the time to understand each person’s unique experiences, strengths, and goals. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about what comes next. Together, we explore those challenges, build insight, and identify practical steps toward meaningful change.
I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, and deep respect for each person’s story. My hope is that clients leave each session feeling more grounded, empowered, and confident in their ability to navigate life’s challenges and move forward with greater clarity.

I take a fresh, integrative approach to individualized psychotherapy, tailoring treatment to each client's unique needs and goals. My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients better understand and regulate their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and reactions.
I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), helping clients develop greater acceptance of difficult emotions and circumstances that may be outside of their control while taking meaningful action aligned with their personal values. With seven years of experience as both a Group Facilitator and Individual Therapist in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I utilize evidence-based skills and mindfulness practices to help clients improve emotional regulation, increase self-awareness, and build resilience.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Corpus Christi, TX
Searching for therapists in Corpus Christi starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist experience best matches your needs. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or major life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience with concerns similar to yours. A therapist’s profile can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Corpus Christi has local therapy options across areas like Uptown, South Side, and Molina, while virtual sessions can add more flexibility if office locations or appointment times are a factor. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual therapy to fit care into their schedule. As you narrow your search, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work for you, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand a therapist’s communication style, session structure, and approach to care.
Therapy in Corpus Christi can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before starting care. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can review therapist profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
