I really like my therapist. It feels great to have somebody who listens after a long stressful week. He understands that I need a good listener.

As a licensed therapist in Texas, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients address stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and personal growth. I have a deep commitment to creating a supportive environment for LGBTQ+ individuals and those experiencing social anxiety, isolation, and interpersonal struggles.
My therapeutic approach focuses on building self-love, improving communication skills, and developing healthy coping mechanisms. I work collaboratively with clients to explore underlying emotional patterns, heal from past experiences, and cultivate resilience. Whether you're working through family conflicts, life transitions, or personal challenges, I aim to provide compassionate, affirming guidance that honors your unique journey.
I believe in a holistic approach that empowers individuals to understand themselves more deeply and develop meaningful strategies for emotional well-being. My goal is to support you in creating positive, sustainable changes that align with your personal values and aspirations.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
