With Balance Comes Growth
This illustration reflects the therapeutic philosophy of Being Counseling. Life is a constant process of balancing and transcending opposites—negative and positive, struggle and strength. The positive and negative factors shown here are examples of the forces that shape our mental wellbeing; in reality, many more influence how we think, feel, and grow.
We sit on a foundation of mental health supported by four essential pillars:
- Physical activity
- Nutrition
- Interpersonal relationships
- Quality sleep
These 4 sides create a strong platform for mental health. If one or more are weak, our mental health suffers.

An Integrated Therapy Approach
At Being Counseling Houston, we believe healing through psychotherapy is both a science and an art. Our philosophy is to integrate evidence-based psychotherapy with the timeless wisdom of mindfulness, yoga, Taoist, and Zen traditions, offering a holistic path toward emotional wellness and personal growth.
We take an eclectic and client-centered approach, tailoring each treatment plan to the individual—drawing from a range of modalities.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, develop a healthy inner voice and behaviors to improve emotional well-being and daily functioning.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Combines cognitive strategies with mindfulness, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance—especially effective for navigating intense emotions and relationship challenges.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Explores unconscious patterns, early life experiences, and relational dynamics to foster insight and long-term emotional growth.
Transpersonal Therapy
Supports clients in exploring spiritual, psychological, and existential dimensions of experience—enhancing self-awareness, inner growth, and a deeper connection to purpose and meaning.
Person-Centered Therapy
Grounded in empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard, this approach empowers clients to access their innate capacity for healing and growth.
Existential Therapy
Supports clients in facing life’s big questions—meaning, freedom, authenticity—and cultivating a deeper sense of purpose and personal agency.

Our Team
Founder of Being Counseling
Â
As a psychotherapist I’m committed to helping my clients learn to cope, overcome and ultimately transcend mental health issues.
My work focuses on helping clients develop self-compassion and empowerment by
building emotional resiliency, reshaping life narrative, and gaining mastery over
thoughts, feelings, emotions, behaviors and life experiences. I believe each individual is capable of healing psychological wounds, finding their effortless effort, stillness in
action and peace within volatility.
I’m passionate about the integration of ancient eastern wisdom/metaphysics around mindfulness into modern western psychotherapy as a tool for deeper understanding of the self and healing, alleviating stress, anxiety and depression.
Education: M.A., and Ed.M from Columbia University

Psychotherapist
Many struggle to access mental health support due to cultural, societal, or personal barriers. They may feel misunderstood, hesitant to seek help, or uncertain about how to navigate their mental health journey. There is a need for a safe, supportive space to explore emotions, gain clarity, and develop tools for healing and growth. Seeking help can be challenging, especially in communities where it is often overlooked or stigmatized. I am deeply committed to making quality mental health care more accessible. No one should have to struggle alone, and I am here to help bridge the gap between you and the support you deserve.
My clinical approach is client-centered, focusing on rapport building. I incorporate CBT, DBT, and positive psychology to help clients navigate challenges and develop effective coping skills. By honoring personal values and experiences, I guide individuals toward meaningful change, empowering them with tools and confidence to create the life they want.
I understand how challenging it can be to take the first step toward therapy, and I commend your courage. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. If you’re ready to begin, I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit for your journey.
