About Me

If you're a teen or adult navigating anxiety, depression, or the lasting impact of childhood trauma, we can help. We offer a supportive space to explore complex feelings and find balance amidst perfectionism or family dynamics. Flexible online and in-person appointments, with affordable rates, ensure accessible support tailored to your journey. We are here to help you build resilience.

Approach

When you come in, therapy feels like a steady, practical exploration—untangling long-held patterns from early hurts and perfection-driven thinking while staying rooted in everyday demands. In my Sugar Land office or during secure online sessions conducted in English, I keep the pace manageable with short check-ins, focused tools, and space to reflect between appointments. We map triggers, try small boundary and self-care experiments, and use trauma-informed pacing so change happens without overwhelm. This way of working tends to help teens and adults juggling high expectations, caregiving, or chronic stress.
