Hello and thank you for taking the time to check out various therapist options and for prioritizing your mental health. What an important step towards finding improvement in whatever area of your life you are looking to make change in. I am licensed in Texas as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 11 years of professional work experience. My experience ranges from psychedelic assisted therapy, to helping clients with coping with addictions, trauma, sexuality, coping with grief and loss, sleeping disorders, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am so proud of you for getting started!
If you want to know more about me, I served 10-years in the US Air Force and served another 11-years as a social worker in the Department of Veteran Affairs. LGBTQ+, open-minded, non-judgmental and I have a certification in Psychedelic Assisted Therapy.
I believe you hold the key to change within you, my job is to assist you with finding that key and using it to open the door to change. It is a journey and I look forward to walking along the path with you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
