I believe that people do not struggle in isolation. Their challenges are often shaped by relationships, life experiences, opportunities, barriers, and the environments in which they live and work. My role is to help clients better understand those influences, identify their strengths, and develop practical strategies that support meaningful and lasting change. I have practiced as a licensed professional counselor since 2014 and bring experience from the public, nonprofit, higher education, and corporate sectors. I strive to provide a supportive, unbiased, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can openly explore their thoughts and feelings, better understand the challenges they face, and identify steps toward achieving their goals. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals navigating transitions, uncertainty, education, careers, public systems, and other life challenges. I particularly enjoy helping adults facing career transitions, students navigating higher education, and individuals coping with grief, relationship concerns, chronic illness, and major life changes. My counseling approach is grounded in humanistic principles and emphasizes empathy, collaboration, and respect for each client’s unique experiences. I strive to be practical, goal-oriented, and solution-focused while remaining flexible and responsive to each client’s needs. I view counseling as a collaborative process in which we work together to build insight, identify strengths, and create a path forward that reflects your values and goals.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC). I often tell people that this field chose me.

I also enjoy working youth (14-18) who are facing issues with their social-emotional skill development and behavior management.

Find a therapist near you in Goliad, Texas
Finding a therapist near you in Goliad, Texas starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Texas is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care.

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.
Why work with a licensed therapist near you?
Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Texas, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.
Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Texas, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.
What concerns can therapists help with?
Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.
