- LPC
I am a LPC and LCDC licensed in Texas with 5 years of professional counseling work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I come from a non-judgmental approach, and during our session it is your time. I am here to support you even if all you need is someone to listen. My mission is to inspire others, and I believe everyone has the right to live as the best version of themselves. We are all more than a single event or life circumstance. I enjoy helping others rediscover a sense of calm, and create their best life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
