I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker with a background in outpatient therapy, inpatient psychiatric care, and residential treatment, supporting both adolescents and adults. Most of my work centers on helping people navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, family conflict, and major life changes. My focus is providing a grounded, reliable space where clients can slow down, regain stability, and move forward with clarity and self‑trust.
I use trauma‑informed, strengths‑based methods to help clients understand their experiences and develop tools for healing. You can expect a supportive, steady space where we focus on clarity, emotional regulation, and sustainable progress.
You deserve a space where you feel heard, supported, and safe to grow. When you’re ready to take the next step toward healing and clarity, I’m here to walk alongside you.

From personal experience I recognize that understanding ourselves begins with being heard, I will create a space where you feel supported and can explore who you are and where you want to go.
I graduated from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am currently a doctoral student in Counselor Education and Supervision at St. Mary’s University, with the goal of becoming a counseling professor. I am a culturally integrative LPC-Associate in Texas with clinical experience in university counseling, private group practice, and community clinic settings. I have developed a strong affinity for working with young adults navigating identity development and life transitions, first-generation Asian Americans, and individuals experiencing feeding and eating disorders.
My therapeutic approach is creative and collaborative, incorporating Sandtray and mindfulness-based techniques to help clients explore emotions and experiences that may be difficult to express through words alone. I strive to create a space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported while developing skills to navigate life’s stressors and challenges.
I believe that therapy is a space where you should feel seen, heard, and supported. I strive to create a warm and collaborative environment where you can explore your experiences, emotions, identity, and the challenges you may be navigating. Wherever you are in your journey, I hope to meet you with curiosity, compassion, and without judgment.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

I know a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy when their perspective about their issue becomes more goal-oriented.

Online therapy works much like traditional in-person therapy but takes place through secure video conferencing.

Online therapy can last for a few months to years depending on the goals and symptoms of the client.

Timing is also up to the client themselves; they are free to stop therapy whenever they please, especially if they feel they have reached their goals and addressed their concerns.
