As a Practicum Counselor, I bring a solid academic background and practical experience in mental health counseling. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, all within the framework of Person-Centered Therapy. I believe in the innate resilience of every individual and am here to provide collaborative support tailored to you.

With hands-on experience gained from various settings, including the Behavioral Health Unit at CHRISTUS, I’ve had the opportunity to follow Licensed Professional Counselors, assist in conducting group therapy, and apply a bio-psycho-social approach to client care. My work in the Coordinated Care Unit further enhanced my ability to connect clients with critical resources. These experiences, along with my ongoing studies in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of Houston – Clear Lake, have strengthened my commitment to supporting clients on their wellness journeys.

If you are dealing with anxiety, I can help you identify and reframe thought patterns that contribute to your stress, teaching you practical coping strategies to manage overwhelming feelings and regain control.

For those facing life transitions—whether it’s adjusting to a new job, relationship changes, or major life decisions—I can help process these changes and discover ways to move forward with confidence and resilience.

In the case of depression, I focus on helping you understand and shift negative thought patterns while exploring solutions that promote emotional balance. 

My passion lies in helping you feel heard and understood. I strive to create a warm, supportive environment where you can freely explore your emotions and develop the tools you need to thrive. My goal is you – to empower you to overcome challenges and achieve greater well-being.
