Intro

Hello! Are you facing difficulties in managing your moods, feeling overwhelmed, experiencing burnout, or contemplating your behavior? Now might be the time to trust the guidance of a trained professional who can assist you in managing the stressors that are weighing on you! I am ready and willing to provide the help you deserve, in an empathetic and non-judgmental environment. I'm currently licensed in both Texas and Florida.

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I enjoy and have experience working with all age groups. I look forward to creating a partnership with you where we address concerns regarding anxiety, depression, substance abuse, grief, trauma, anger, and self-harming behavior. I use a variety of treatment modalities, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed therapy; I also use the harm reduction model when addressing substance abuse issues.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I’m a therapist who believes that everyone has strengths, even if they’re hard to see during tough times. My goal is to help you recognize those strengths and build on them—not to focus only on what’s “wrong,” but to really see what’s already working within you. I work from a place of compassion, care, and belief in your potential. Therapy with me is about feeling supported, affirmed, and understood as you navigate life’s challenges. We’ll work together to help you reconnect with yourself, uncover your resilience, and move forward in a way that feels true to who you are.
