My communication style

Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating or clinical. I believe it should feel like a space where you can show up exactly as you are—no judgment, no pressure, and no pretending. I’m a licensed psychotherapist providing telehealth services across Texas, and I specialize in working with teens, young adults, and middle-aged women, including LGBTQ+.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I’m passionate about helping people feel seen, supported, and capable of healing. I’ve always valued creating safe spaces where others can be themselves, and therapy allows me to help clients navigate life’s challenges with compassion and honesty.

My goals for you

I help clients identify what’s keeping them stuck, build practical coping skills, and create meaningful change through honest, supportive conversations. My approach is affirming, collaborative, and focused on helping clients feel understood, empowered, and more confident in daily life.

Our first session

The first session is relaxed, supportive, and focused on getting to know you. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you hope to work on, and any concerns you may have. My goal is to create a comfortable, judgment-free space where you can show up as yourself.
