As a licensed therapist in Texas, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating life's complex emotional landscapes. My professional journey has been dedicated to helping clients address challenges like depression, anxiety, grief, and self-esteem issues. I have a deep understanding of the unique struggles that come with isolation, life transitions, and finding personal purpose.
My therapeutic approach centers on creating a compassionate, collaborative space where clients can explore their experiences and develop meaningful coping strategies. I'm particularly passionate about helping individuals work through feelings of guilt, shame, and panic, and supporting them as they rediscover their inner strength and resilience.
With over a decade of clinical experience, I bring a nuanced, empathetic perspective to our work together. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering guidance and support as you move toward healing, self-understanding, and personal growth. I believe that every individual has the capacity to transform their challenges into opportunities for profound personal development.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
