In just a short time being with my therapist I’ve already felt a lot more calm, focused and have better sleeping habits. There are still things I need to work on so I’m excited to see how this journey goes.

- LPC, LMHC
I'm a National Certified Counselor (NCC) with a Master's degree, licensed to practice in Washington and Texas. I bring a compassionate, client-centered approach to therapy, specializing in helping individuals navigate stress, anxiety, and self-esteem challenges.
My work focuses on supporting young adults and women through a range of meaningful concerns—including social anxiety, attachment issues, communication difficulties, obsessive-compulsive patterns, forgiveness, life purpose, and self-love. I believe that healing happens when we feel truly seen and understood, and I'm committed to creating a safe, affirming space where you can explore your concerns without judgment.
I draw on evidence-based therapeutic practices to help you build confidence, develop healthier communication patterns, and reconnect with your sense of purpose and worth. Whether you're working through anxiety, relationship challenges, or questions about who you are and where you're headed, I'm here to support your journey with authenticity and care.
I'm honored to work with clients who are seeking a therapist who understands their unique perspective and lived experience. Starting therapy is a meaningful step, and I'm grateful to walk alongside you.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
