Clients coming from a faith background of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ( Mormon) find it helpful to work with someone who understands LDS teachings and culture.
My clients are responsible people (maybe too responsible!) who are looking for relief and balance. Self-help books and tips only take them so far, and somehow there's a "root problem" that still seems evasive. They want to thrive, not just survive, but cognitive approaches are not getting them there. I specialize in helping competent but exhausted people find greater peace through getting to the "root" of their issues so that shifts are lasting.

I specialize in OCD and sex therapy, and where the two overlap. I work with obsessive themes of all kinds— from germs to relationships and existential concerns. But if you’re anxious about the types of thoughts you’d prefer to never tell another living soul— like hurting people, pedophilia, sexual orientation, incest…that sort of thing— I’m definitely the right therapist. That stuff is my speciality. You’ll be surprised how easy it will be to talk to me about it.

You deserve to feel GOOD-- Peaceful, happy, grounded, and content. Fulfilled in your relationships and joyful in your life.

We'll dive into the stuckness and help you navigate your way out of it. My goal is to provide an environment where we can openly process your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and behaviors without fear of judgment, and you can leave feeling empowered, confident, and free.

Online Sessions Only...Yep, life sure can feel heavy sometimes! Does it seem as though you are in a constant wrestling- match with your feelings, or battling an emotional tug-of-war? Are the daily pressures weighing you down, leaving you discouraged, exhausted or hopeless? Maybe you are fighting to control your racing thoughts & restless energy. Struggling to contain or manage your frustration, disappointment, anger, fear or sadness can feel impossible, even pointless, at times. The stress of it all might even be causing you to disconnect or isolate from those you love in order to shield them from what you are going through.

In addition to adult, teen, and child anxiety work, I work with parents all over Texas who are seeking support with their children's emotions and behaviors, building stability and structure in their home, and working through their own childhood wounds and the mental health concerns affecting their lives and children.

Therapy for when you’re tired of pretending you’re fine. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who seem to have it together but feel overwhelmed internally. Their minds stay active, replaying conversations, worrying about work or relationships, or feeling pressure to keep performing even when they’re exhausted. They often struggle with anxiety, overthinking, ADHD-related challenges, intrusive thoughts, or relationship stress, and notice patterns they can’t seem to change, reacting strongly, shutting down, or feeling responsible for everything around them.

Many people are impacted by trauma—both “big T” traumas like major life events or abuse, and “little T” traumas such as ongoing stress or repeated emotional hurt—that continue to influence how they think, feel, and relate to others. You may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, overwhelmed by emotional reactions, or disconnected from yourself or others. Healing is possible, and you do not have to navigate this process alone.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work together effectively, but, especially for those whose concerns relate to their religion or cultural background, a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond, even if they do not have an extensive history with or understanding of their client’s background before therapy begins.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Church of Christ/Latter Day Saints values?
Each individual brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of therapeutic modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition such as LDS that strongly influences the conduct of everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process.
Why might someone feel comfortable with an LDS-attuned therapist?
While qualifications and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic effectiveness. It is wise to find a therapist who is responsive to your questions and concerns and with whom you feel you can establish a rapport. A therapist who is sensitive to LDS values and beliefs and the role they play in the lives of Church members can offer Mormon clients a welcome sense of safety, assurance that their community and culture will be understood, and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, all of which support the therapeutic process.
How do I recognize a good LDS therapist?
LDS therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Mormon principles and values. They have an understanding of the culture and the important role the Church plays in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of emotional difficulties those raised in the faith can be prone to. Like all effective therapists, a good LDS therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of everyday life.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Mormon/LDS therapists?
The directory of LDS therapists includes therapists who have shared their cultural background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information; these individuals would not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with LDS clients and/or communities, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
