Hi, I'm glad you're here. If you're navigating a chronic illness, caring for a loved one, coping with grief, or adjusting to a major life change, you may be carrying more than most people realize.

As a licensed clinical social worker with a background in medical social work, I've spent years supporting individuals and families through some of life's most challenging seasons. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when your world changes unexpectedly or when you're constantly putting others' needs before your own.

My goal is to provide a compassionate space where you can feel supported, understood, and less alone as we work through whatever you're facing together.

Hello, and welcome.

If you’re here, you may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, uncertain, or simply exhausted by the challenges life is bringing right now. You are not alone, and you do not have to navigate it by yourself. I believe that with support, self-awareness, and practical tools, meaningful change is possible.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with over 25 years of counseling experience working with adults from diverse backgrounds. Much of my work has focused on helping individuals manage anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, academic pressures, career uncertainty, and work-life balance. I have extensive experience supporting college students, professionals, and individuals navigating periods of change, self-doubt, and personal growth.

My counseling style is supportive, collaborative, and solution-focused. I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Gottman-informed relationship approaches to help clients build insight, resilience, and meaningful change. Together, we will explore patterns, identify strengths, and develop strategies that align with your values and goals.

I strive to create a space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to take ownership of their growth and wellbeing. My hope is that therapy helps you build clarity, confidence, balance, and a stronger sense of purpose moving forward.

About Me

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, anger, relationship challenges, family conflict, or major life transitions begin affecting your daily life. I specialize in working with men, teens, young adults, and families who are seeking greater self-awareness, healthier relationships, and meaningful change.

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, frustrated, disconnected, or unsure of their next steps. They may be navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, breakups, family stress, anger, identity concerns, or the lasting impact of difficult life experiences. Together, we identify patterns that may be keeping them stuck and develop practical strategies to create lasting change.

I believe therapy works best when clients feel respected, understood, and challenged to grow. I help clients improve communication, strengthen relationships, manage difficult emotions, and build greater confidence in themselves and their ability to handle life’s challenges.

Whether you’re facing a difficult relationship, struggling with anxiety or anger, navigating family conflict, or adjusting to a major life change, therapy can help you gain clarity, better understand yourself, and move forward with greater confidence and purpose.

Many of us have "big T" Traumas like abuse or near death experiences. All of us have some "little t" traumas like feeling repeatedly rejected by others. Part of us gets stuck back when the no-good-dirty-rotten-thing happened, but you don't have to stay there. You can be free of the grip of both big T and little t traumas.

You are welcome to call or email me for a free 20 minute consultation about whether or not I can help you.

I offer a calm, steady space where you can feel heard and supported. I help adults navigate anxiety, depression, and life changes with practical, down‐to‐earth tools. My approach is warm, compassionate, and empowering, and shaped by both clinical and pastoral experience. I speak English and Armenian.
