I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 22 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I work with adults navigating stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions. I understand how personal, emotional, academic, or work-related pressures can disrupt well-being, and I strive to offer a calm, compassionate space where you can feel seen, supported, and encouraged to pursue meaningful healing.
I earned my master’s degree in social work from the University of Houston. Over the years, I have worked with diverse individuals and families, using approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused strategies, and strength-based support to promote insight, resilience, and practical growth.
My goal is to help you regain a sense of balance and control in your life. Together, we will explore your experiences, identify patterns that are holding you back, and build effective strategies to move forward. You deserve support that feels respectful and empowering, and I look forward to helping you take the next step.
