- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in the great state of Texas with over five years in the field of mental health. I work with clients with a diverse set of challenges including depression, anger, anxiety, relationships, Men’s challenges, failure to launch, HIV/AIDS, substance abuse and addiction, and career/workplace stress and challenges.
My counseling approach is person-centered and focuses on the strengths that you will bring to the session to resolve your problems. I am action oriented, and I believe that you are capable of making changes happen in your life. I utilize Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution Focused methodologies in my practice, depending on what your needs are.
It isn’t always easy to believe that you are capable of changing for the better, but it can be done.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
