I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I obtained my M.A. in Clinical Psychology & Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University and my B.A. in Biblical and Theological Studies from Houston Christian University. I have over 11 years of experience serving individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities, Black and Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) in high-risk communities, youth and adolescents, and couples interested in strengthening the foundation of their relationship. I use modalities such as CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Emotionally Focused Therapy and Christian counseling.
As a therapist and pastor, I offer Christian counseling when it aligns with the client’s preferences. This may include biblical principles, prayer, and spiritual reflection as part of the therapeutic process. I believe combining faith with evidence-based practices creates a strong foundation for healing, growth, and transformation.
During an initial session with me, you can expect a comfortable environment with open communication in an effort to lay the foundation for our therapeutic relationship. I encourage my clients to ask any questions and share any reservations they may have regarding therapy in order to best provide them with a space that meets their needs.
