Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor in Texas with experience in a multitude of environment including inpatient care, residential care, outpatient therapy, and community mental health. I also offer my experience of over 4 years in the virtual/online therapy world. I know that this type of modality can be scary, but also offers to many opportunities to get your needs met, especially given all going on in the world today. Let's combine my experience in the mental health world with your expertise of your own life to help you help yourself.
Life is not easy... it is full of ups, downs, twists & turns. It can feel like a roller coaster that you cannot wait to get off of. Therapy can be the answer to getting support through these uncontrollably tough moments. This is your life and while you will always be the expert on you, let me help relieve some of the burdens you've been carrying so you can learn important tools to get back to the person you want to be. I am a client centered CBT therapist whose primary focus is helping you help yourself. Together we can help you regain lost control and begin again. Let's get started, why wait another day?

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
