I specialize in treating mood disorders, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, addiction, and adjustment-related concerns.

Compassionate, Evidence-Based Therapy for Life’s Challenges As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I am committed to helping individuals navigate life’s complexities with clarity, resilience, and self-compassion. My therapeutic approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Motivational Interviewing, tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. I specialize in treating mood disorders, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, addiction, and adjustment-related concerns. I also provide clinical support for individuals experiencing relationship difficulties, suicidal ideation, substance use disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). My work is grounded in a client-centered philosophy that honors your lived experience and empowers you to reclaim your strengths. I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Texas at San Antonio and currently practice independently, offering individual therapy to adults across Texas. I provide both in-person and telehealth sessions, with flexible scheduling options to accommodate your life. Therapy is a collaborative journey. I will listen with empathy, without judgment, and create a safe, supportive space where healing and growth can take place. Life happens — but you don’t have to face it alone. The first step toward meaningful change begins with a call.
