Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from The University of North Texas in psychology and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Dallas Baptist University. I have an immense amount of experience working with individuals from all walks of life. I am experienced in therapeutic work with anxiety, depression, stress, self-injurious behaviors, trauma, psychosis, substance abuse, familial conflict, and grief. Using a conversational style, I encourage the processing of negative thinking patterns, problem-solving, and real-life interventions for you to experience change. I have adopted an approach to therapy that encompasses CBT and DBT. Therapy is hard, all of us here at BetterHelp understand that. You may feel worse before you start to feel better. THAT IS NORMAL! You’re kicking up emotions that you’ve worked hard to avoid for a long time. They will not be comfortable, and they will leave you with the urge to run to what you know. Know that the intensity of these emotions is TEMPORARY and the more you process through them the more manageable they will become. Don't let the fear of change keep you from doing something positive for yourself. I do greatly look forward to working with you! My current availability for video sessions: Monday - Friday - 30 minute slots available but times are subject to change on a weekly basis Saturdays - Unavailable Sundays - Unavailable For chat and phone sessions - there will be more flexibility regarding availability. I will do the best to work with your requests. I try to schedule standing weekly appointments with each client to provide consistency! Some days responses to messages will be quicker than other. Please allow 4-24 hours for a response. On weekends, response times will vary.

I work with adults and adolescents dealing with issues such as career decisions, anxiety, relationship issues, depression and much more. I have experience in inpatient treatment working with a variety of different psychiatric disorders and situations. I have experience in career counseling and helping people of all ages navigate career decisions or changes and it is something I am truly passionate about. In my work with clients I take a client-centered approach, viewing counseling as a collaborative effort on both client and therapist. I also see that most of our issues come from early life and hold us back if we do not address them. If you are looking for someone to work with you, and help you through whatever stage in life you are at then I would love to help.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas. My master’s degree is in counseling but my doctorate degree is in educational leadership. I have worked in the field of education supporting individuals and families as a teacher, school counselor, and administrator for 29 years. I am a survivor of a genocide and grew up in an Asian family. I look forward to helping individuals becoming the best version of themselves. I believe supporting the individual needs of each client is my main therapeutic purpose. Emotional and social wellness are essential components of a healthy life. Relationships with different people such as family, friends, acquaintances, and employers may influence our mental wellness. When mental health issues are not addressed, feelings of hopelessness and dissatisfaction with different facets of life, may occur leading to an unfulfilled and inauthentic life. I look forward to working with you.

12 years offering treatment
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Texas, I have spent over 12 years helping adults navigate anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and betrayal. My commitment to respectful and attentive care stems from witnessing the shortcomings of managed healthcare, particularly within the VA system. As a retired disabled veteran, I possess firsthand insight into the challenges faced by veterans and first responders. My work focuses on helping individuals and couples process trauma, infidelity, and significant life transitions. I employ evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge negative thinking patterns, Trauma-Focused Therapy to assist clients in working through past experiences, Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relational dynamics, and Mindfulness to help regulate inappropriate thoughts, feelings, and emotions. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard and respected.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally stuck, or unsure how to handle everything life is throwing at you, therapy can give you space to step back, make sense of what’s going on, and decide what to do next. I work with adults who want to gain insight, explore their experiences, and build practical strategies that feel useful in real life. AREAS I SPECIALIZE IN: • Anxiety, stress, and burnout • Depression and mood-related concerns • Trauma and recovery from abuse or neglect • Work-related stress and career challenges • Parenting stress and caregiver fatigue • Adjustment to disability (your own or a loved one’s) • LGBTQ+ affirming care and identity exploration WHAT IT’S LIKE TO WORK WITH ME My style is direct, collaborative, and conversational. I ask meaningful questions, offer honest feedback, and help you look at things from new angles. I approach therapy with curiosity, respect, and a sense of humor. Sessions often feel like thoughtful, structured conversations — not stiff or scripted. I use research-backed methods to help us understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact: • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps identify and shift unhelpful thought loops and behavioral patterns. On a deeper level, it helps us explore where these loops began and the core beliefs or stories that have kept them going. • Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT): Focuses on your existing strengths, tracks small wins, and helps define clear goals. It doesn't dismiss problems but keeps our work future-focused and actionable. • Motivational Interviewing (MI): Supports change by helping you clarify what matters, even if you feel ambivalent. Whether you’re not ready, thinking about change, or already taking steps, MI meets you where you are. • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Builds psychological flexibility by helping you notice unhelpful mental habits, accept uncomfortable thoughts, and take actions guided by your values. • Trauma-Focused Therapy – including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), which helps process and reframe difficult experiences by exploring the meanings we’ve made about ourselves and the world in the aftermath of trauma WHAT TO EXPECT IN OUR FIRST SESSION In our first session, we’ll start with what feels most important to you. That might mean discussing your current concerns, reviewing relevant background, and exploring what you’d like from therapy. But it can also be a space to let out what you’ve been holding in. If you're not ready to dive into goals just yet, we can gather that information gradually. I’ll provide enough structure to guide us, while leaving room for what you need most in the moment. A BIT ABOUT ME I have a PsyD in Counseling Psychology from Our Lady of the Lake University and a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Texas A&M University. My background includes work in neuropsychological assessment, vocational counseling, and brief therapy models. I’ve worked in schools, hospitals, and private practice, with a wide range of clients. I’m informed by brain science, trauma research, and the reality that our identities, communities, environments, and cognitive or physical abilities all shape our mental health. I strive to offer care that’s respectful of each person’s lived experience — including neurodiversity, disability, and the unique challenges and strengths we all bring. MY PHILOSOPHY Some people come to therapy like they would a doctor — when something feels off and they want to get back on track. Others use therapy more like the gym or a salon — a regular check-in and form of self-care. I support both. Whether we’re addressing something acute or investing in your growth, I want therapy to be worth your time. We’ll explore patterns, build skills, and reconnect with your strengths. We may dig into the past or focus on the present. No matter where we start, my goal is to help you move forward.
