I am passionate about supporting teens, adults, and couples in Texas reduce anxiety, manage stress, and build resilience. I offer a warm, direct, and honest approach focused on addressing symptoms such as chronic worry, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, and difficulty setting boundaries using practical strategies. I also provide Christian faith-based counseling upon request.

I completed my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a 4.0 GPA over five years ago. I am also credentialed as a Master Certified Professional Coach (MCPC) and was previously Board Certified as a National Certified Counselor by the NBCC.

I have more than eight years of experience providing individual, couple, and family therapy in English and Spanish. I specialize in addiction, ADHD, anger management, anxiety, codependency, depression, domestic violence, grief, life transitions, parenting, trauma, PTSD, women's issues, and more. My own journey began with the belief that hope is not an end but a beginning. Growing up in a dysfunctional home taught me the power of choice, and I pursued the hard work to transform my life. That road helped me uncover solutions hidden behind the fog of despair, and it shaped my deep commitment to guiding others through their own healing. 

I typically work with clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by past experiences—individuals and families seeking clarity, healthier relationships, emotional stability, or purpose. Many come to me wanting to break generational patterns, navigate life transitions, overcome trauma, or find a safe space where they can be heard and supported. 

I want you to know that you don't have to navigate your struggles alone—your story matters, your healing matters, and hope is absolutely within reach. If you feel ready to take the next step toward growth, clarity, and meaningful change, I would be honored to walk alongside you. I invite you to schedule a session whenever you're ready.
