My approach is centered on listening and nurturing the inherent resilience within each child and family. I aim to create and foster a supportive, healing environment where children and families can explore and understand their emotions and behaviors, empowering them with the necessary tools to navigate and overcome life's challenges. I utilize an eclectic strengths-based approach through child-centered play therapy, person-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, anxious, or struggling to find balance in your daily life? You do not have to navigate it alone. I provide compassionate, personalized mental health care in a supportive and judgment-free environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas with experience supporting teens, young adults, older adults, and families through some of life’s most difficult moments. I earned my Master of Science in Social Work from UT Austin’s Steve Hicks School of Social Work, with a focus on clinical practice and healthcare.
For the past several years, I worked in a cancer hospital providing psychological support to patients and their families as they navigated serious illness, uncertainty, loss, and major life transitions. This experience shaped my particular interest in grief and loss, medical trauma, chronic illness, spirituality, and the emotional impact of health challenges.
I believe our experiences become part of our story, but they do not have to define what comes next. My goal is to create a warm, authentic space where you can better understand what you are experiencing, reconnect with your strengths, and find meaning and a path forward. I am also conversational in Spanish.

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.

Despite what ol’ Forrest Gump shared with us while sitting on a park bench, life isn’t always a box of chocolates. Sometimes, it can feel more like a box of rocks. You might feel overwhelmed, stuck, irritated, anxious, depressed, alone, misunderstood, or frustrated with your circumstances and the burdens you carry. You may struggle to understand yourself or those you love, or wonder if there’s something wrong with you, or the world around you. You might ask yourself, What is the purpose of all this? What am I supposed to do? How can I find happiness and peace?
Let’s start by putting down that box of rocks. You don’t have to carry it alone. There are answers, and I am here to help you explore these questions. Therapy offers a safe space where, together, we can explore your thoughts, feelings, and subconscious mind, while noticing your personal strengths- strengths that make you unique, accomplished, and capable.
In a life that may seem uncertain, one thing remains true: there is hope, joy, and peace for you-and it’s within your grasp. I congratulate you on your courage and commitment to finding the change you seek. As an integrative, trauma-informed therapist, I would be honored to be part of your healing journey. The answers may be closer than they appear.
As a Licensed Social Worker, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Our therapeutic sessions will be packed with discovery, while building long lasting tools to apply in times of need! I’ve been practicing for 27 years, and I have developed the skills needed to address a broad spectrum of counsel. I am super excited to start our journey together!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Friendswood
Searching for therapists in Friendswood starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or a major life change. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can also show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or other methods that fit what you are looking for.
Friendswood is a smaller market, so local in-office therapist options may be more limited than in nearby larger areas. Virtual therapy can expand your search while keeping care with a therapist licensed in Texas. Some people prefer an in-office therapist near them, while others choose virtual sessions for schedule flexibility. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and experience.
Therapy in Friendswood can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and schedule directly with therapists who are accepting new clients. You can browse therapists in Friendswood, review profiles, and book when you are ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
