Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Duncanville, TX covered by United Healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist wasn’t just a career choice—it was a calling. I know firsthand what it means to feel unseen, unheard, and weighed down by life’s challenges. That’s why I’m so passionate about creating a space where you feel safe, supported, and truly understood. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Sam Houston State University. Over the years, I’ve worked with people navigating emotional abuse, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions. I’ve spent time in community mental health, crisis intervention, and private practice, helping individuals, couples, and groups reclaim their power and find clarity in their healing journeys. My approach is especially tailored for those who have felt silenced or stuck, unsure of how to move forward.

As a licensed professional counselor and psychotherapist with a passion for helping individuals, couples, and families, I believe prioritizing mental health is the key to happiness and stability in life. People can change if they have the right tools. Life can be a challenge but often it is our response to those challenges that set us apart from those with healthier coping skills.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor passionate about helping individuals, families, and teens navigate life’s challenges. I provide personalized, evidence-based therapy in both English and Spanish, ensuring culturally sensitive care. My approach creates a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard and empowered. I help clients build coping skills, manage stress, and achieve personal growth. Together, we work toward overcoming obstacles and creating meaningful change.

I'm a relational therapist specializing in treating grief & loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, & parent-child relationships with adolescents & adults. Feeling stuck in a particular area of life such as your relationships, school/work, identity, or emotions? Sometimes we find ourselves repeating old habits that no longer serve us. I often work with individuals experiencing issues around shame and self-worth, who view themselves much harsher than the rest of the world. I offer room to explore these patterns with compassionate curiosity and supportive guidance for you to start trying something different – space for a new narrative.

To heal & move forward you first need to feel seen & heard. I listen deeply to carefully integrate different therapeutic approaches based upon what the individual or family needs from me. The human brain is hardwired for relationship & connection, so I work hard to build a safe space for us to explore, learn, & grow together.

There's a wealth of grit & resiliency inside each of us. It's my job to help you build on the internal strengths that already exist in you. Healing, growth, exploration, & change all take place in a secure relationship – including ours. Beginning therapy is an act of hope & a bid for health. Get in touch for a free 20m consultation & let's get started.

I love working with children, adolescents and adults who may struggle with anxiety, depression, family issues, or any other day-to-day challenges. My ideal client's goals would be for them to become the best version of themselves and be ready to work in and outside of therapy; wanting happiness, health, and overall a better sense of belonging and direction for their life.

I have been practicing for over 10 years. Therapy and helping others is my purpose.
