I am a licensed mental health therapist in the great state of Texas with at least 7 years of professional work experience.

I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, bereavement, grief, and confidence, & depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. From an Adlerian Therapy approach, I want to help encourage and empower clients to identify and use their strengths to attain their goals, with the power of learning their own positive psychology.

She is incredibly understanding, supportive, and refreshingly direct, which I truly appreciate. I love that our sessions don’t feel stiff or overly serious, it genuinely feels like talking to a friend who also knows exactly when to challenge me and keep me grounded. I always leave feeling heard, validated, and clearer than when I walked in.
