Got faith? Most of us struggle with the obstacles and challenges and we are in search of solutions. These struggles can be within yourself or within your relationships with those closest to you. The solutions that we try do not always work because we are looking in the wrong places. With faith in God, we can find the answers together.

I provide therapy for women, individuals, and couples in-person, as well as telehealth across Texas.
If you’re feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or stuck in painful relationship patterns, you don’t have to keep carrying it alone. Life can feel overwhelming when trauma, relationship stress, or emotional wounds begin affecting how you see yourself and connect with others. Many of the women and couples I work with feel anxious, emotionally drained, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward—especially after experiencing betrayal, emotional abuse, chronic conflict, or long-standing patterns of people-pleasing. I offer a safe place to heal, rebuild, and regain your sense of self...

Life can feel overwhelming at times. Whether you’re navigating big changes, coping with loss, managing anxiety, or simply trying to keep up with daily stress, it’s easy to feel stuck or alone. In those moments, having a warm, nonjudgmental space to sort through your thoughts and emotions can make all the difference. I enjoy working with individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, relational or peer issues, life transitions, and couples or marriage concerns. I also have experience supporting teens and hold a special interest in working with parents of children with special needs.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, (1943), "The Theory of Human Motivation", reads: if a person’s basic needs (food, shelter, physical/mental safety) and social needs (love, belonging, self-worth, sense of purpose) are not fulfilled, that person will experience frustration and will “pivot” on a level of need that appears easiest to satisfy. Which level of need are you "stuck" on? Are you bound by anxious, fearful and mind-binding thoughts? Freedom is a goal that can be attained.

You're a woman who holds everything together on the outside, but inside, you're exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering when it gets easier. Maybe you're pregnant or newly postpartum and feeling nothing like yourself. Maybe you're in the middle of a major life change, and anxiety is running the show. You want to feel grounded again. You want to understand yourself, heal from what's hurt you, and show up fully for your relationships, your family, and yourself. You deserve a space where you don't have to perform.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.

When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.

How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
