- LCSW
I am a social worker licensed in Texas with 4 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. My therapy style is nurturing and supportive. I believe in treating everyone with dignity and respect. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, acceptance and commitment and mindfulness therapy. I will customize my therapeutic approach and treatment plan to meet your individual needs.
Growing and changing is rarely easy, and it takes exceptional strength and courage to initiate growth and change in your life. As Nikki Banas says, " Trust that you are changing and growing and becoming so much stronger. Know that you are transforming from the inside out into who you're meant to become. It might take time, it might bring you to your knees, but it will be worth it". I am here to provide support and guidance as you embark on this journey. I look forward to working with you!

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.
