I am glad you found me, and you found this website. To me, that shows that you are ready to make a change in your life. My goal for you in therapy is to live a happier life every day. We are not guaranteed a lot in life, but my goal is to give you the power to enjoy what we do have influence on. I am a human just like you, and my approach is the same. I will meet you where you are at, and I will challenge you to live a better life, because you deserve it. Even if you choose someone else on this website, I am proud of you for making this step.

I believe that healing happens within a safe, supportive, and authentic therapeutic relationship. My approach is client-centered, collaborative, and culturally responsive, recognizing that each person brings unique experiences, strengths, and challenges into the counseling process. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds, helping clients navigate concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and stress management.

My therapeutic style is warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental while also providing practical tools and strategies to support meaningful growth. I draw from evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and trauma-informed practices, tailoring treatment to meet each client's individual needs and goals.

One of my strengths is creating a space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. I am passionate about helping individuals identify their strengths, develop healthier coping skills, improve relationships, and build resilience. Whether you are facing a difficult life challenge or seeking personal growth, I am committed to walking alongside you as you work toward healing, balance, and lasting change.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a deep passion for mental health and its power to unlock your best self. I truly love this work and believe in a collaborative approach — learning about my clients, learning with them, and learning from them. I value the time we spend together and am committed to creating a space where growth, healing, and self-discovery can flourish.

Life can often feel like a series of overwhelming transitions, leaving you feeling disconnected or unsure of your next step. I provide a dedicated space for adults (22+) to slow down, reflect, and move forward with renewed clarity.

Whether you are navigating the complexities of trauma, managing a mood disorder, or facing significant life changes, my goal is to help you transform "feeling stuck" into a journey of intentional growth.

How We Will Work Together

My approach is relational, honest, and depth-oriented. Rather than just addressing surface-level symptoms, we will explore the unspoken beliefs and past experiences that quietly shape your daily life. By learning to listen to what your emotions are communicating, you can begin to respond to life’s challenges in ways that promote genuine healing and authentic connection.

Specialized Support for Couples

In addition to individual therapy, I specialize in marriage and pre-marital counseling. I help couples at all stages build resilient foundations, repair emotional disconnections, and foster a deeper sense of intimacy and mutual understanding.

**Please note: While I accept insurance for individual therapy, all couples counseling is private-pay only. Insurance does not cover relationship-focused therapy.

Your Journey Starts Here

You deserve a space where you are fully seen, heard, and empowered. No matter where you are in your journey, I am here to support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.

I have a very mellow, approachable style, and my main goal is to help my patients reach their goals. Many of the people I work with feel like they haven’t been truly heard before, or that medication was presented as their only option. I take time to listen and make sure you feel comfortable, understood, and involved in your care. I also grew up in an immigrant household, where mental health wasn’t always talked about or seen as an option, and that experience really shaped how I work with my patients today.

Life= struggle. Its true, or it wouldn't be life. Why not have a helping hand to get through it. Consider your therapist as a hammer, helping you build whatever it is your building. It helps you get to the goal, the finishing project, but it's not useful without you using it, and applying the effort towards what you're trying to build.

I'm traditionally a CBT psychotherapist who also utilizes other forms of techniques and therapies as they pertain to the client's needs to achieve a successful treatment.

I have a Masters of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from University of St. Thomas, a private Catholic University located in Houston, Texas.

A good therapist is someone who is your cheerleader, but also provides the hard truths. Allow me to be that support in your life, to help, heal, empower and move forward in positive directions.

I have worked in diverse settings working with countless categories of focus. Primarily, I specialize in working with adult individuals, family and couples in addition to resolving depression, anxiety, PTSD, adjustment disorders, stress management, and identity development to name a few.
