Licensed Professional Counselor
Certified Sex Therapist
Nationally Certified Counselor
I understand it can be difficult to reach out for help when individuals are feeling overwhelmed, confused, and scared. I appreciate and affirm the courage it takes to enter a therapeutic setting and into a therapeutic relationship. It is important to honor each client’s individual journey toward happiness, wholeness, and health. I strive to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for all individuals and topics. I believe that providing a safe, judgement-free environment is essential to address sensitive and personal issues. Creating a dynamic in which we collaborate together to establish goals for individuals is valuable. I believe that together, we can discover effective possibilities that can provide insight toward resolutions. I am passionate about supporting individuals, children, families, and couples throughout their journeys in counseling. I am here to help you identify and utilize your strengths, as well as develop new ones, to achieve your goals to reconnect with the joys of life.
I also enjoy and am trained in working with individuals and couples who are experiencing sexual concerns. I am a Certified Sex Therapist through the Texas Sex Therapy Institute. Many people have trouble discussing sexual problems. Sex therapy is designed to help you explore those sensitive issues, and solutions can be created through the therapeutic process. My areas of interest, training, and experience include infidelity, low sexual libido, vaginismus, erectile dysfunction, performance anxiety, out-of-control sexual behaviors, couple/marital conflicts, identity issues, kink, communication difficulties, grief, trauma, depression, and anxiety. I enjoy working with everyone: monogamous, polyamorous, kink-identified, and LGBTQIA+. If you find that you are struggling with asking for what you want and need in life, in your relationships, and within yourself, the work we can do can help you grow and achieve your next level of happiness.
When I am not in session, I enjoy spending time with my family, my dogs, and my cat. I am passionate about music and have a love for attending concerts. I also love reading and going to bookstores to find new gems to dive into. I enjoy trying new restaurants, traveling, and exploring new places in Houston.
