About
As an eclectic, person-centered, culturally sensitive, bilingual therapist, I strive to not only help clients achieve their therapeutic goals but also foster arelationship that creates a safe space to always return to.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience providing mental health care to adults, adolescents, children, and families. I specialize in supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in creating a safe space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout the therapeutic process.
I earned my master’s degree in counseling from Sam Houston State University. I utilize evidence-based approaches tailored to each client’s needs, including cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-informed care. I adapt my therapeutic style based on individual goals, comfort level, and presenting concerns.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if it is your first time, but you do not have to go through it alone. I will meet you where you are and work alongside you to develop tools for healing, growth, and lasting change. Together, we can take the first step toward your goals.

Life coaching is a personalized support system that helps individuals clarify goals, develop action plans, and navigate challenges. Coaches employ effective communication and active listening to assist clients in overcoming obstacles, unlocking their potential, and achieving personal growth for a more fulfilling life.
In life coaching, our coaches utilize diverse therapeutic techniques that are tailored to individuals, including cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, mindfulness, and positive psychology approaches. They also utilize active listening and empathetic communication to provide a supportive space for you to explore and achieve personal goals and overcome challenges, fostering personal growth and clarity.
Life coaching with our therapists in Pflugerville, TX is conducted both in person and virtually via online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of life coaching sessions someone attends can differ based on the coach and the client’s choices. How many sessions are needed and how often they occur often hinges on the client’s objectives and the complexity of their concerns. Some clients might opt for a few sessions to tackle particular goals or issues, while others may decide on ongoing coaching sessions to work on personal growth and life enhancement over a more extended period of time. Thriveworks Pflugerville therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.
Maybe you have a dream of writing a book, becoming a musician or climbing the ladder of success to corporate executive. You haven’t made it a reality yet and don’t know where to begin or what steps to take. You are hampered by “what ifs,” doubt and dozens of questions that keep you at a standstill.
Just like coaches who push athletes to greatness in sports, Life Coaches work with their clients to find success in their jobs and lifestyles. Life Coaches have worked with people to provide guidance in getting ahead in their careers, make major life decisions, such as a move or promotion, and find an acceptable work-life balance.
Life Coaches at Thriveworks in Pflugerville, TX are knowledgeable about the various issues that keep people from attaining personal growth and work to motivate them and provide feedback. For the past 10 years, Life Coaches at Thriveworks have worked with thousands of people to help them take advantage of their own strengths and talents, as well as to set goals and achieve them. Reach out today for help.
If you were able to change your life, what would be different? Where would you go, and what type of work would you choose? What kinds of friends would you have? These questions are called “Miracle Questions” in Life Coaching, and exploring the answers can help you to determine and communicate the goals you want in life. They may be buried inside you, because of the many things in life that get in the way of accomplishing them, such as financial burdens, stressful relationships, illness and day-to-day life. The “disruptions” are obstructing you from achieving your goals, and an experienced Life Coach at Thriveworks will work with you to identify the issues keeping you from moving ahead and focus on what you want in life.
Many people are not able to answer what they would change in their lives, what would be different, what type of work they would choose and what their friends would be like—the Miracle Questions. Life Coaches at Thriveworks will work with clients to move forward from dissatisfaction and neutral to positive change.
Measure the following areas, from a negative 10 to a positive 10—with zero being neutral—to find the areas where you are satisfied or disappointed.
You may have found that some areas measured satisfactorily, while others were disappointing. What areas do you want to work on to bring them from negative or neutral to satisfactory?
It is important to note that there is no governing body that determines who can be a Life Coach. In fact, anyone can put a sign on the door and start accepting clients. Finding a Life Coach on your own can be overwhelming, and you do not want to put your trust in somebody without the proper education, background and experience.
Thriveworks Life Coaches have credentials and professional licenses. For the past 10 years, Thriveworks in Pflugerville, TX has provided Life Coaching for thousands of people. Call Thriveworks in Pflugerville, TX at (512) 955-3074 today to schedule a session or find out more about Life Coaching and how it can help you lead a healthier, more fulfilling life.
