Hi, I'm glad you're here! I’m a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and life transitions. I offer a collaborative, supportive space where individuals feel understood and empowered to create meaningful change.

My background includes work in high-acuity settings such as correctional facilities, inpatient psychiatric units, and hospital-based outpatient care. At the Harris County Jail in Houston, Texas, I developed reentry-focused assessment tools to improve continuity of care between the court and medical systems.

I’ve been part of a team that built programs from the ground up, including a home visitation program for mothers, now offered through telehealth in both virtual and hybrid formats. I use structured therapeutic tools to help individuals actively engage in treatment.

I have a focused interest in depression, anxiety, grief, and women’s mental health, including pregnancy and postpartum. I offer telehealth sessions across Texas, with insurance and private pay options available.
