- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in Texas, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life challenges. My professional approach centers on helping clients develop deeper self-understanding, improve communication skills, and build resilience across personal and professional domains.
I have extensive experience working with diverse populations, including veterans, individuals managing workplace stress, and those healing from traumatic experiences. My practice focuses on addressing challenges like isolation, codependency, addiction recovery, and family dynamics.
Drawing from evidence-based therapeutic techniques, I create a compassionate, collaborative space where clients can explore their experiences, develop coping strategies, and work towards meaningful personal growth. I am committed to honoring each individual's unique journey and supporting their path to emotional wellness.
Fluent in both English and Spanish, I strive to provide culturally responsive care that meets each client's specific needs and background.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
