Life often takes us to unexpected places, some filled with joy and others that present real challenges. Having navigated this journey myself, I understand how beneficial professional counseling can be along the way.

When I entered the "empty nest" phase, I began to ask profound questions about meaning and purpose. This reflection reignited my teenage dream of becoming a counselor. In May 2024, I graduated from Houston Christian University with a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and I am currently a licensed professional counselor-associate. I work under the excellent supervision of Mark Cagle Jr., MA, LPC-S, as I pursue full licensure in Texas.

I provide online counseling to individual adults of all ages and life stages residing in Texas who are facing a variety of challenges, such as attachment injuries, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, grief, and trauma. I also have a particular passion for working with grieving adolescents and teens and have received training to support them through their grief journeys.

Everyone is unique in personality, experiencing their own circumstances, triumphs, and challenges. Therefore, my approach to counseling is tailored to each person. I utilize a variety of techniques, including Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts (SYMBIS). I also offer Multidimensional Grief Therapy (MGT) for adolescents and teens.

I am committed to lifelong learning and personal growth and continuously seek ways to expand my skills to better serve my clients. I aim to create a warm, welcoming environment where you can navigate life's challenges and achieve your counseling goals. I look forward to starting this counseling journey with you soon!
