My background

I received my Master of Social Work with a concentration in Mental Health and Substance Use from the University of Texas at Arlington.

I began my professional career working with families experiencing homelessness, where I developed a deep understanding of the impact that trauma, chronic stress, and adversity can have on individuals and families. Since then, I have expanded my clinical work across multiple treatment settings, including private practice and adolescent Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) programs.

I have experience providing therapy to adolescents and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My passion is helping clients move beyond surviving and begin experiencing a greater sense of safety, connection, and fulfillment in their lives.

My view on counseling

I believe healing happens within a safe, authentic therapeutic relationship. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, accepted, and understood without fear of judgment. I recognize that reaching out for therapy takes courage, especially when past experiences have made it difficult to trust others.

My approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, and holistic, recognizing the powerful connection between the mind and body. I integrate evidence-based treatments while honoring each person's unique experiences, values, and strengths. Together, we'll work at a pace that feels safe as we process difficult experiences, build practical coping skills, and help you reconnect with the life you want to live.

I am EMDR-trained, TMT-trained, and DBT-trained. I incorporate these approaches to help clients process trauma, regulate emotions, and develop lasting resilience.

I am LGBTQ+ affirming and strive to provide culturally humble and inclusive care for every client
