Who I Am

I became a therapist because I've always been drawn to understanding people deeply and helping others feel less alone in what they're carrying. I believe healing starts with feeling safe enough to show up honestly, without fear of judgment.

While I'm able to support a variety of mental health concerns, I'm especially familiar with working with children and adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, stress, and overwhelm. I understand how exhausting it can feel to constantly juggle expectations, emotions, and the pressure to keep everything together.

My Approach

My approach is creative, curious, honest, and collaborative. My goal is to create a space where you can feel understood without feeling analyzed. I want to create a safe place to talk, be yourself, or even figure out who you are if you haven't fully yet.

My modalities include:

  • Art Therapy
  • Mindfulness
  • CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)

Our sessions may include creative approaches, CBT techniques, open conversation, or whatever best fits your individual needs and goals. I believe therapy shouldn't feel one-size-fits-all. What matters most to me is creating a space that feels supportive, authentic, and provides a real space to slow down, make sense of things, and feel a little less alone while doing it.

Credentials & Training

  • Master of Science in Counseling, concentration in Art Therapy
  • Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-A), supervised by Geraldine Gomez LPC-S.

A Little About Me

When I'm not in session, I'm usually out being a bit of a busy body trying new foods, exploring new places, and finding new experiences around Houston. Lately, some of my favorite places to explore are the many parks around the city with my kids.

I also love slower days filled with creativity and rest — whether that's making art, listening to records, or spending time doing the little recreational activities that help fill my cup.
