| 中文 Do you ever feel stuck in your relationships—whether with a partner, your parents, your children, or even yourself? Maybe you find yourself repeating the same conflicts, feeling unheard, or carrying the weight of stress. My ideal clients are those who long for healthier connections, greater balance, and a deeper sense of self-worth, but aren’t sure how to get there. I'm here to help. We can work through it together.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, supervised by Leigh Rainwater, LPC-S. I'm also a TX CPA, my background gives me unique insight into the complexities of modern work and life.
Clients working with me can expect to gain: Greater self-awareness and self-esteem.
Emotional resilience and practical coping skills. Stronger communication and interpersonal relationships, Parenting support.
I take a collaborative, culturally responsive, and goal-focused approach, integrating CBT, DBT, ACT, solution-focused, and trauma-informed modalities.
I became a therapist through my own journey of personal growth and spiritual awakening, which inspired me to shift from a CPA career to helping others heal, grow, and thrive. Outside of therapy, I’m a wife of 10 years, mom to 3 energetic children and 2 playful German Shepherds. I enjoy spending time with my family, cook, read, walk, and meditate.
