I earned my Master of Science and Specialist in Education degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Florida State University and began my career in Georgia, where I worked with children, teens, and adults. I’m now a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-A) and National Certified Counselor (NCC), practicing under the supervision of Laura Aguirre, LPC-S #76984.
I’ve always been drawn to the stories people carry and the ways those stories shape how we see ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. Sometimes we know we want something to change, but we don’t quite understand why we keep getting stuck in the same patterns. Therapy can be a place to slow down, get curious about what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin to see yourself with a little more understanding.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to the person sitting across from me. I draw from approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), attachment-based therapy, parts work (IFS), expressive arts, and solution-focused therapy, but I don’t believe therapy should feel like checking boxes or following a formula. Our work will be shaped around your story, your needs, and what you hope to understand or change.
Whether you’re trying to quiet an overactive mind, navigate a new chapter, understand patterns that no longer serve you, or simply feel more like yourself again, I want therapy to be a space where you feel seen and accepted while also gaining practical tools to move forward. I offer therapy in English and Spanish and work with clients throughout Texas virtually, as well as in person in the Webster/Clear Lake area.
Clinical Focus & Modalities
To give you an idea of what our sessions might look like, here are the common, heavy hurdles I walk through alongside my clients most often:
Anxiety & Panic: Dealing with chronic worry, social anxiety, panic attacks, or that constant, underlying sense of dread and sensory overload.
Pre-Teen & Adolescent Stress: Navigating school refusal, sudden behavior changes, intense emotional outbursts, and peer-related anxiety.
Complex Dynamics & Personality Hurdles: Managing intense mood swings, emotional dysregulation, chaotic relationships, and those frustrating, self-sabotaging patterns.
Relational Trauma & Burnout: Unpacking the weight of old family scripts, toxic relationship cycles, chronic people-pleasing, and the sheer exhaustion of major life transitions.
