I have worked in mental health since 2010, with experience in community mental health crisis services, long-term care for older adults, and inpatient psychiatric care, where I currently manage psychiatric programming. These roles have deepened my understanding of how mental health affects individuals, families, and communities, while continually reminding me of the resilience people carry. I earned my BS in Social Work from Lamar University in 2014 and my MSW from the University of Texas at Arlington in 2018.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas working with teens and adults. I came to counseling after more than a decade in education, and I have a master's in Counseling and Development from Lamar University.

Many of the people I work with have spent years adapting to their families, cultures, workplaces, or systems that weren't built with them in mind. Sometimes they've adapted so well they've lost track of what they actually want. I focus on anxiety, neurodivergent burnout, LGBTQ+ identity and identity exploration, immigrant and first-generation experiences, grief that often goes unrecognized (pet loss, estrangement, immigration-related loss), and reproductive decisions. I'm a neurodivergent immigrant myself, which is part of what brought me to this work.
