I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with a military background. Go Navy!
I provide a warm, supportive, and culturally responsive space for individuals navigating stress, anxiety, family and relationship challenges, attachment dynamics, and post-traumatic experiences. My approach is both clinically grounded and insight-oriented, while also honoring the deeper emotional patterns that shape how you think, feel, and connect with others.
I specialize in helping clients explore how past experiences—especially those connected to trauma, relationships, and early attachment—continue to influence present-day behaviors and emotional responses. Together, we work to build self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, and develop healthier ways of thinking, relating, and showing up in your life.
My work integrates evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with mindfulness and emotional regulation strategies. I believe healing involves both understanding your patterns and learning how to move through them with intention, compassion, and clarity.
As a woman of color, I value cultural awareness and strive to create an inclusive, affirming space where clients feel seen, heard, and respected in their full identity. Clients often describe my style as warm, honest, and empowering. I aim to create a space where you feel both supported and gently challenged as you grow.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready to better understand yourself and your relationships, I would be honored to support you on your journey.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
