Introduction

Hey there! I'm so glad you're here. Searching for a therapist can be daunting so my hope is to make this a little easier for you. Here is some information about me and my practice to see if it fits what you are looking for. If you have any questions, or need additional referrals, feel free to reach out and I'd be happy to help you. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor in the Houston area. I have 10+ years of experience from a variety of clinical settings. Some of the issues I frequently work with include substance use/addictions, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationships, existential issues and challenges related to life transitions. The first step is to get to know you. Together, we'll determine the most effective treatment tailored to your personality and unique needs and goals. My role is to create a collaborative, supportive partnership that fosters healing and leads to the changes that matter most to YOU! I truly love what I do and I’m passionate about helping people find their way in this crazy world. I would be honored to join you on your journey!
