I am laid back, and make you feel like you are talking more to a friend than a therapist. My current clients love this.
You might feel stuck between who you thought you’d be by now and where life has actually taken you. Maybe you’re navigating a new diagnosis, old patterns that won’t let go, or relationships that feel like the same argument on repeat. As someone in long‐term recovery who once struggled to launch into adulthood, I understand how overwhelming it can be to rebuild your life from the inside out. I work with adults 17+ of all genders, and I have specific experience supporting people living with bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and men who are exploring identity, emotions, and connection.
You may be used to carrying everything on your own. From the outside, it can look like you're managing just fine, but internally you're exhausted from anxiety, past experiences that still affect your relationships, family conflict, or a struggle with substance use that's become harder to ignore. Asking for help isn't easy, but you don't have to figure everything out by yourself. I specialize in helping clients navigate substance use and addiction, trauma, men's issues, family issues, and relationship issues so they can build healthier relationships, regain confidence, and create lasting change. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors, believing that meaningful progress begins with honest conversations, practical support, and a space where you feel respected, understood, and challenged to grow.
I have a passion for helping others to help
themselves. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social
Worker. I'm bilingual. Fluent in both
English and Spanish. I have experience
working with children and adolescents in
mental health as well as adults and
geriatrics. I also have experience working
with individuals with intellectual and
developmental disabilities. I have worked
at inpatient and outpatient settings.
I am a native Texan, auntie, ice cream-loving, roller skating, retired professional athlete who also happens to be a Therapist. My background in the world of mental health dates back 10 years, in my work with families of Autism, Substance abuse and misuse, Student-athletes, Life- transitions, and family therapy. I enjoy introducing people back to themselves as they unpack their past with grace and patience. If you are experiencing racing thoughts, overthinking, or people-pleasing, let our work together find the root cause and, from there, uncover solutions that work for you. I believe that therapy does not have to be "forever," and my role is to safely get you to a place of wholeness within your next quest and journey.
