I am a therapist, advocate, and community-centered clinician whose work has been shaped by experiences across school, community, and clinical settings. Born and raised in Texas, I will always call Dallas home. Outside of my work, I enjoy exploring new cities, trying new foods, engaging in water activities, and roller skating.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Applied Learning and Development and my Master’s degree in Educational Psychology (Counselor Education) from the University of Texas at Austin. My training spans school, community, and clinical counseling, giving me a multidimensional lens on how individuals grow, adapt, and navigate complex systems.

As a therapist and change agent, I believe our work extends beyond symptom reduction. At its core, therapy is about understanding how emotional experiences and systemic barriers shape the way we move through the world. My role is to create space for reflection, healing, and meaningful change at both the individual and community levels.

I am trained in EMDR and provide counseling and wellness services to adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, relational challenges, and identity-related concerns. I work with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including professionals in high-visibility and high-pressure roles. You can expect me to bring my authentic self into sessions. While I may not share your exact experiences, I will meet you with empathy, honesty, and clarity.

My work is especially centered on supporting men of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, and historically excluded communities navigating systemic barriers and lasting emotional impact. I understand that many individuals want to grow, heal, and move forward but may not always have the support or resources in place to do so. My role is to help create that space.

Professional Training & Continuing Education

My clinical work is supported by ongoing professional development in trauma-informed care, EMDR, culturally responsive practice, and identity-centered therapy. I pursue continuing education that deepens my understanding of systemic trauma, relational patterns, and evidence-based approaches to anxiety and depression treatment.
