I am currently under the supervision of Dr. Courtney Walraven, LCSW-S. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and teens, and I also support individuals of all ages in navigating life’s challenges, building confidence, and developing healthy coping strategies.

I offer warm, trauma-informed counseling for individuals, couples, families, and children across Texas.
My ideal client may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, trauma, or relationship stress. They may be survivors of emotional or physical abuse, navigating life transitions, or struggling to balance caregiving, parenting, or school pressures. They want relief, clarity and connection—and to feel seen, safe, and supported. Whether they’re seeking healing, better communication, emotional growth, or simply a place to process life, they’re ready to take steps forward. They may not know exactly how to begin, but they’re willing to try—and they’re looking for a therapist who truly understands and walks with them, not just talks at them.
