Life can get messy sometimes. Between work, relationships, family expectations, and just trying to take care of yourself, it’s easy to feel pulled in every direction. If you’ve been carrying too much or feeling weighed down by anxiety, stress, or old wounds, I want you to know you don’t have to go through it alone. In our sessions, I show up as a real person—warm, attentive, and honest. I pay close attention to the little things, and I’ll share what I notice in a way that’s direct but never judgmental. My clients tell me it feels like talking to someone who truly “gets it.” As someone who understands the pressures of navigating multiple cultures, I bring that sensitivity into my work while welcoming people from all backgrounds. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s been weighing on you and find practical ways to bring more peace, clarity, and connection into your life. Reaching out is a brave first step, and I’m here to walk with you through the next ones.

As an integrated practitioner (therapist, meditation coach, and yoga teacher), I offer a modality that shifts the focus from "fixing" to "realizing." Unlike approaches that seek to modify internal content—such as thoughts or feelings—to achieve stability, we anchor our work in the unwavering integrity that is already present within you. The core of our collaboration rests on the capacity to embrace the present moment, requiring radical openness, unreserved honesty, and a willingness to soften old patterns of resistance. I bring deep competence in supporting individuals navigating the challenges of trauma, substance dependency, and neurodiversity, informed by my own lived experience with AuDHD. As a veteran, I understand the unique barriers and strengths involved in service-related transition and trauma, emphasizing that the depth of our work is proportional to the sincerity of engagement. This process is a shared inquiry where I act as a mirror and a compass, guiding you toward the innate wisdom that already holds the answers; the true authority resides in your own developing awareness. I provide secure online sessions in Indiana, Arizona, Texas, New Hampshire, and Illinois. Emotional Support Animal (ESA) letter assessments are available for $250 (covering all tools and labor), provided you have a history of prior treatment such as medication or therapy.

I have worked in diverse mental health settings and have been practicing therapy since 2015. I am the oldest daughter of immigrants and a first generation college graduate. From a very young age I felt the weight of expectations put on to me by my family, society, and my culture. I became very good at taking on roles that were not mine, and quickly burned myself out. It wasn’t until graduate school that I really allowed myself to explore the root of my unhappiness. I needed to stop doing for everyone else and finally make myself the priority; I mattered too. I now enjoy empowering individuals to find their voice and discover the freedom that comes with letting go of past hurt and behaviors that no longer serve them, and finally pursue the life they’ve always wanted.

I have vast experience working with those who suffer from chronic mental illness including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety. I also have a wealth of experience working with those struggling with self-esteem, phobias, self-worth, poor relationships, and grief. I was the Truax Scholarship recipient in 2005 and the outstanding master’s level student in the department of Counseling East Texas A&M University -Commerce in 2003 and 2005 year. I am a counselor supervisor for the state of Texas when it comes to license professional counseling training from 2010 to present. Married with two beautiful children, I am also involved in my church as one of the associate ministers. I provide marital counseling and am also available to the clients specifically looking for biblical counseling. I completed my doctoral education in East A&M University

My career started as a classroom teacher and school counselor. I currently have over 20 years of experience working with students and families. In addition to my school counseling career, I am a crisis clinician in a major hospital in the DFW metroplex and work in over 32 emergency rooms providing on-call patient care. We all face unexpected challenges which sometimes leave us feeling hopeless and powerless. I believe that we have the ability to make healthy and appropriate choices regardless of the circumstances in which we may find ourselves. My role as a therapist is to assist and support clients as they learn new ways of coping and adjusting to life’s challenges. Counseling will vary depending upon one’s personality, stage of life, strengths or particular concern. Getting started can feel overwhelming. You have no idea where to even begin. You’ve been putting off therapy because you’re afraid it won’t help. More than anything you’d like to be able to feel happy again. You’d like to be able to put yourself out there more and to create deeper, more meaningful relationships with others. You want to have the courage to be your authentic self without hiding behind a mask.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Texas. I have several years experience working with clients on issues relating to behavior, stress and anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, family conflict, parenting issues, substance abuse and every day life stressors. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in central Texas. I believe that we are all beings who want healing in all aspects of our life: physical, emotional, social and spiritual. The differences between the emotional health we have and the health we want can create tension between our current situation and our self image and power. Often, we don't know how to make lasting changes. That change struggle can be too difficult to face without strong support and the realization someone understands, supports and affirms your ability to learn new coping skills. My counseling approach is educational, and we begin with where you are emotionally now. I value treating everyone with respect and kindness. We move at your pace. I will assign homework if you want to move more quickly.
