Hello, there! I appreciate whole-person healing that addresses the mind, body, and soul. I believe that we are meant to live full, authentic lives. However, trauma, harm, and wounds can leave us feeling fragmented and stuck. I highly value connection with others in my life, which carries over into my counseling as I desire to create a safe, welcoming space for clients to show up as they are without fear of judgment. I am passionate about working with adults and children of all ages, as well as families from all walks of life, and witnessing their growth and development of self-confidence, grace, compassion, and emotional expression.

Have you ever felt helpless, hopeless, powerless, worthless, lost, alone or confused? How about angry, hurt, frustrated or sad? Then you are not alone. Counseling helped me and my family after a tragedy to redefine our journey and know that our story was not over. Strangely enough, because of this tragedy, I have learned to live in excitement of what the next page of my story will be. As a therapist, I now have the opportunity to help other people know their story is not over and help to write their next page.

Life can be challenging, especially if you are struggling with anxiety, trauma, and overwhelming stress. These issues can manifest as uncontrollable worry, panic attacks, recurring painful thoughts and memories, or overwhelming emotions that interfere with your day-to-day life and relationships. You might feel like you are living life according to anxiety instead of what really matters to you. You might feel like you can't move forward because of what you have been through. Or, you might feel like no matter what you do, you cannot figure out how to fix what is causing your anxiety and suffering in the first place.

One of the biggest parts of my work is helping people push through (and maybe even embrace!) the messiness of being human to live a life you find fulfilling. In my work, the people who seem to experience this most intensely and find healing with this kind of therapy are: -> people who identify as LGBTQIA+, ->people who experience psychosis, ->people who identify as rebels and troublemakers,-> people who feel outcast, misunderstood, or marginalized, ->people who are unhappy with the “norm.” Often people come to work on existential angst, identity exploration, breaking stigmas, anxiety, trauma, and self worth/acceptance.

How can I find a therapist in Houston?

Search for nearby therapists or counselors by inputting your city, town, or suburb; or zip code; or a provider’s name into the search bar. From there, you can filter providers by the issues they treat, cost, insurance, gender, and other factors to find providers who are well-suited to your needs. To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
