- LPC
As a licensed therapist in Texas, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients address depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and trauma with a compassionate, culturally responsive approach. As a counselor who worked with children for more than six years,I'm particularly passionate about working to explore self-esteem, communication dynamics, and experiences of isolation or social anxiety.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in creating a supportive, affirming space where individuals can explore their inner experiences and develop meaningful strategies for personal growth. I understand the unique challenges faced by diverse communities and strive to offer personalized, empathetic support that honors each client's individual journey.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I aim to help clients build resilience, cultivate self-love, and develop healthier patterns of emotional connection. Whether you're struggling with shame, seeking to improve relationships, or working through difficult life transitions, I'm committed to walking alongside you with genuine care and professional expertise.

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.
