Biography: I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with extensive experience working with clients across the lifespan, from ages 3 to 75, and with diverse backgrounds and various challenges. I used to provide couples and marital counseling, as well as family and group counseling, where I served as both a facilitator and co-facilitator in various therapeutic settings.

I also work with individuals navigating autism, addiction, substance use, gender identity, eating disorders, social anxiety, sexuality, neurodivergence, CPTSD, and various types/forms of abuse. My therapeutic style is warm and person-centered, emphasizing a nonjudgmental and interactive space where clients can take the lead. I believe clients are the true experts in their lives, so my role is to walk alongside them as a supportive guide, offering unconditional positive regard and encouragement in their journey of self-discovery. Understanding that each client's path is unique, I tailor my approach to honor their individual experiences and needs. Rather than adopting a "one size fits all" approach, I draw from a blend of therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, narrative, dialectical behavioral, exposure, humanistic, psychodynamic, interpersonal, art, emotionally focused, and rational-emotive therapies. Together, we'll shape our dialogue and develop a treatment plan that best aligns with your unique needs, honoring your goals and helping you overcome any obstacles in your way.
