Let’s be real—life gets messy, and sometimes Googling your problems just isn’t cutting it anymore. I work with individuals 15 and up, navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, or that constant “what am I doing with my life?” loop. I hold an LCSW in TX, MN, MT, ND, SD, AK, and TN, and have over 8 years of experience supporting individuals and families from all walks of life. I’m passionate about working with people of color, and I aim to create a supportive, affirming space where you feel seen and respected.
I utilize a straightforward, collaborative approach with a client-centered approach—more real conversation, less “therapy voice.” A combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strength-Based Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing is interwoven to help you reach your therapeutic goals.
I offer free consultations where you can share your story, what’s been weighing on you, and your therapeutic goals/aims. If the fit feels right, we’ll shape clear goals together and get to work in a space that’s warm, honest, and fully supportive of you showing up as you are. I’ll be right there with you as we turn insight into real, meaningful change.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
