As a licensed therapist in Texas, I bring over a decade of experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on creating affirming, culturally responsive spaces for diverse communities, with specialized expertise in LGBTQ+ mental health, relationship dynamics, and multicultural counseling.
I focus on addressing challenging experiences like social anxiety, isolation, trauma recovery, and mood disorders. My approach is deeply compassionate and tailored to each individual's unique journey. I'm particularly committed to supporting men's mental health, exploring family dynamics, and helping clients navigate complex personal transitions.
My therapeutic work honors the intersectionality of identity, recognizing that healing happens when we feel truly seen and understood. Whether you're struggling with panic attacks, substance challenges, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy, respect, and professional guidance.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
