About

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 9 years of experience helping individuals overcome trauma, anxiety, depression, and sleep-wake disorders. I specialize in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and crisis intervention—approaches that empower people to shift unhelpful thought patterns, build resilience, and restore balance in their lives.

Education & Licensure

I hold a Master of Education in Counseling from the University of St. Thomas (TX); a Master of Education in Educational Administration from Texas Southern University; a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Houston; and a Bachelor of Science in Sociology from the University of Houston.

Treatment Approach

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

Helping people grow is at the heart of my work, whether through counseling, training, or client-centered services. I’m drawn to working with autistic adults because of my deep respect for neurodiversity and my belief that everyone deserves a space where they feel valued and empowered. I’m continually inspired by the strengths, perspectives, and resilience of the autistic community, and I aim to offer support that honors each person’s individual experience. Together, we’ll work on navigating challenges, building on your strengths, and developing skills that enrich your daily life and relationships, so you can feel understood, supported, and able to thrive.

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

I believe everyone carries strengths worth recognizing and developing. Instead of dwelling on challenges, I meet clients with compassion and affirmation, and I am dedicated to walking alongside them as they grow into their fullest potential.
