I create a warm, collaborative environment where patients feel heard and respected. I value open communication and work with patients to set meaningful, realistic goals at a pace that feels comfortable. Using evidence-based treatments, I explain the reasoning behind each approach so patients feel informed and empowered throughout their care. I bring expertise in ADHD, depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, bipolar depression, OCD, and a wide range of psychiatric conditions.

In the first session, I take time to understand each patient's history, concerns, and goals. Together, we identify key areas of focus and build an individualized treatment plan. Follow-up sessions build on progress, address challenges, and adjust the plan as needs evolve. I work at the patient's pace, helping them explore patterns, gain insight, and develop a sustainable path forward.

I attended the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where I majored in Economics, before earning my medical degree from Lincoln Memorial University. I completed my psychiatry residency at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis. I have experience in both inpatient and outpatient care.

I provide care grounded in dignity, respect, and cultural humility. My approach is structured and goal-oriented, balanced with warmth and authenticity. I value direct, honest communication and encourage conversations that may feel uncomfortable but are necessary for growth. Sessions focus on measurable progress and meaningful change. I integrate trauma-informed and EMDR-informed principles when appropriate and support clients navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, identity development, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families using CBT, ACT, trauma-focused, and relapse prevention approaches.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Alabama and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. I am the Founder and Clinical Director of PULSE Counseling and Consulting, LLC, providing telehealth and in-person services. My background includes outpatient therapy, community mental health, and behavioral health leadership. I am EMDR-informed, a board-certified specialist in transgender-affirming care, a Substance Abuse Professional, and am pursuing a PhD in Clinical Sexology.

I begin with a comprehensive intake to understand each client's history, strengths, stressors, and goals. I collaborate to establish clear, measurable objectives and develop an individualized treatment plan aligned with the client's values. Using evidence-based interventions, I provide practical tools for use between sessions, monitor progress regularly, and adjust care as needed. When appropriate, I coordinate with other providers to promote long-term stability, resilience, and sustainable change.

I provide a safe, confidential, HIPAA-compliant space grounded in cultural humility and respect. I work with individuals, couples, and families facing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, ASD, mood disorders, and work or collegiate stress. My style is collaborative, compassionate, and systems-oriented, integrating CBT, EFT, IFS, attachment work, and ABA. I value measurable progress and use tools such as PHQ-9 and GAD-7 to guide care. I begin with a comprehensive assessment of personal, cultural, and environmental factors, then develop individualized, evidence-based treatment plans with clear goals and regular progress reviews. Sessions combine cognitive restructuring with skills training and mind-body techniques such as progressive muscle relaxation and paced breathing to reduce anxiety and trauma responses.

I am a bilingual (Spanish-fluent) therapist, LCSW, CCBT, licensed in Texas and Illinois with over 20 years of experience. I earned my MSW from Loyola University Chicago and my BA in Human Services from Kendall College, receiving the Distinguished Student Award. I completed intensive Spanish language study in Mexico and Costa Rica. My career spans Alzheimer's care (Distinguished Service Award), Director of Social Services in skilled nursing, discharge coordination at Schwab Rehabilitation Hospital, police liaison and crisis responder, and community mental health serving diverse and underserved populations.

I am a compassionate and dedicated therapist who specializes in helping individuals navigate profound life challenges, build resilience, and move toward meaningful healing. My therapeutic approach is integrative, collaborative, and trauma-informed, with an emphasis on creating a strong, trusting relationship where patients feel truly seen and understood. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where patients can process pain, reconnect with inner strengths, and reclaim their personal narratives.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with experience working in group practice settings and Post-Traumatic Stress retreat environments. I work with individuals who have experienced trauma and significant life stressors. I earned a master's degree in Counseling from Concordia University Irvine, as well as an additional master's degree in Coaching and Athletic Administration.

I begin treatment by developing a thorough understanding of each patient's history, concerns, and goals during the initial session. From there, I work collaboratively with patients to create individualized treatment plans that align with their personal goals and support sustainable growth and healing.
