About
I believe every person has the capacity for growth and healing, and my role is to help you uncover your strengths and move toward the life you want.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 4 years of experience helping adults navigate depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, trauma, and major life transitions. I strive to create a compassionate and collaborative environment where clients feel safe to explore their emotions, strengthen their sense of self, and build lasting confidence through self-awareness, emotional growth, and personal empowerment.
I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Psychology from Sam Houston State University. My therapeutic approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused strategies, person-centered techniques, and reality therapy to encourage insight, resilience, and meaningful progress throughout the healing process.
Reaching out for help is a powerful act of courage and self-commitment. My goal is to offer a genuine and supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and understood as you work toward lasting change. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey toward healing and personal growth.

My go-to approach for treating depression is cognitive behavioral therapy and using validation through a person-centered approach to counseling.
I teach the following tools in depression counseling: challenging negative thoughts, distress tolerance skills, emotion regulation skills, and managing crises.
A client is making meaningful progress when they are able to process difficult negative feelings and can cope effectively.
To supplement depression counseling in their personal time, a client can write their thoughts in a journal. This will allow someone to look back and reread their thoughts which can help them gain more insight and see how things may be perceived.
To prepare for depression counseling, you can expect to work together with your counselor to find effective and achievable goals that will be geared towards increasing your self-worth.
