Compassionate Care for Big Emotions & Life Transitions
It is wonderful to meet you!
I provide a supportive environment that is warm and caring, full of acceptance and understanding.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-Associate) in Texas. Whether you are navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, or simply seeking a place to reflect and reconnect, I am honored to walk alongside you.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for change, I offer a space where your story is valued and your healing is supported. I welcome you to reach out when you're ready—therapy can be a powerful step toward clarity, connection, and feeling more like yourself again.
I believe therapy should be a safe, affirming space where you feel truly seen—and I strive to create that space in every session.
As a mother and wife, I’ve learned firsthand that every individual is unique—there is no "one-size-fits-all" tool for growth. My journey as a school counselor in New York and a crisis counselor for 988 has deepened my passion for being a steady, validating presence for youth and families. I specialize in helping young people navigate "big emotions" that can feel overwhelming, providing them the tools to find balance, confidence, and a voice. Whether you are a parent seeking support or a young person looking to be truly heard, I am here to meet you exactly where you are.

Therapeutic Philosophy
My practice is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and trauma-informed care.
I utilize an integrative, client-centered framework tailored to your unique goals. By drawing from evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I provide personalized support to foster meaningful healing, personal growth, and self-discovery.
Why Virtual Sessions Are Effective in Therapy
Maximizes Comfort & Safety: Connecting from your own home or familiar environment lowers initial anxiety, helping you feel grounded, secure, and open to deeper work faster.
Eliminates Travel Barriers: Removes the stress of commuting, fighting traffic, or navigating waiting rooms—allowing you to transition smoothly from therapy back into your daily routine.
Adapts to Individual Processing Styles: Offering diverse modalities (video, gaming, phone, text) ensures care fits your unique comfort level, attention span, and neurodivergent needs.
Encourages Real-World Skill Application: Building coping strategies, communication skills, and emotional regulation in your personal environment makes it easier to practice and retain those skills day-to-day.
