Do you find yourself at a crossroad in your life without a clear sense of direction? Do you feel that you have lost yourself? I can help you to rediscover your path, and to examine your alternatives.

This past year has brought struggles for many people. Job insecurity, anxiety, and wondering if we are doing the right thing for our families are just some of the challenges we face everyday. If you have been dealing with these thoughts and more, reaching out to a counselor may be a way to help. Trying to find our place in the chaos of pressures that we have from the world and the internal demands we place on ourselves can wear us out. This may be causing you to interact, communicate, and react to your family/friends in ways you never did before.

I am your OCD and anxiety specialist in The Woodlands, Texas. I work with individuals who suffer from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Phobias, and general anxiety. Our fears and subsequent behaviors, begin with distressing and intrusive thoughts. In order to feel safe and find relief, we do we what we can to make the uncomfortable thoughts and feelings go away. You may find yourself engaging in ritualistic behaviors such as avoidance, reassurance seeking, overt behaviors, and even mental compulsions. But many times, our solutions do not break the cycle and our anxiety worsens.

Recognizing your strengths, even if you haven't seen them for a while or have never acknowledged them, is important in overcoming any problem you are facing. It is my job and my pleasure to help you identify your strengths and gain life-long strategies for happier living. People often become more hopeful and find that the therapeutic process is very helpful. I use humor where we can because therapy should not feel like a chore. It is your opportunity to have a mentor walk with you through a difficult time while providing support, techniques and guidance to help you create the life you envision.

I enjoy collaborating with clients to help them in their journey toward healing, growing ... and thriving! Therapy is both a partnership and process which can empower clients to experience such changes as healing of past hurts/abuse/trauma, increased self-management of emotions and stressors, healthier relationships, behavior and thought process changes, and individual growth.

Fear, anxiety, and shame are often the root causes of many of our society’s mental struggles and concerns. If you or your child feels like you are in a pit of despair or stuck in a destructive pattern of thinking, you may need help getting a new focus or sharing your burden with someone who can listen without judgement. My current specialty is play therapy and helping families with conflicts and struggling youth. I also enjoy helping adolescents or young adults who are suffering from depression or anxiety. My philosophy and interventions are faith based, research supported, and very solution focused. Reach out for help today

Sometimes when life brings challenges and unwelcome stress, we may need a little extra support and clarity. At times we may feel confused, alone, or not know which direction our life is heading. Life is full of complications in which we all can benefit from working with a compassionate, qualified, and objective professional. My first and foremost goal is to create an environment of empathy and caring where together we build upon trust and collaboration. As your therapist, I can help you cope with stress, transform your relationships, and improve your overall quality of life.

I have a passion for working with couples, individuals and first responders through a systemic lens. By counseling from a systemic perspective, I can more easily identify what systems (work, school, home life, marriage, etc.) are negatively affecting you while also uncovering unhealthy, ingrained family patterns and beliefs that may keep you emotionally reactive, anxious, and attached. A lot of families and couples get nervous to come in because they are afraid of being judged or exposed, but it is actually more helpful so that I can properly observe, intervene, challenge and mediate in order to help you grow closer to one another.

I specialize in depression and anxiety in women. I enjoy working with women struggling with generalized depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, abusive relationships, divorce recovery, pregnancy depression and anxiety, postpartum depression and anxiety, traumatic labor and delivery, miscarriage, and loss.

I have been working with children, adolescents, and families for several years. I have worked in all types of outpatient settings including children's hospitals. I specialize in treating anxiety and mood related disorders as well as OCD and ADHD. I also work with parents to help them learn how to navigate the journey with their individual child's emotional and developmental needs. Parents of toddlers are welcome too! I am a mother myself so I know and understand the daily struggles and the endurance raising a child takes. I want to help!

It seems like everyone around you is smiling and enjoying life. How do they do it? They look so confident and carefree, while even the smallest task feels insurmountable to you. Just going about daily life is like climbing a mountain, yet never reaching the top. The moment your eyes open, anxiety and depression greet you, stalking you throughout the day. Your mind is full of criticism and self-doubt. Yet you keep your pain a secret, because you're mortified and ashamed. Besides, your life is no worse than anyone else’s, right? Would they believe you’re suffering -- or blame you for feeling so bad? Maybe you even blame yourself...

Do you feel like your life has been difficult to manage lately? Are you having relationship or family issues and feel like you need someone to help you and your loved ones understand one another? Are you concerned about recent changes you've seen in your child or teenager? I understand what you are feeling: the sense of overwhelming anxiety, the roller coaster of emotions, the burden of trying to take these challenges on alone, the fear or uncertainty of asking for help… No matter what challenges you may currently be facing, please know that you are not alone.

Do you have goals you just can't seem to meet? Feel like you always have things to do, but never have enough time to do them? Are anxiety and depression overtaking your life? Together we can take the chaos in your life and create structure, focus, motivation and more organization to help you reach your goals. With new skills, education, encouragement and accountability, you can start living the life you want. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed or frustrated, reach out today. I not only work with adult ADHD and Executive Function issues, but also depression, anxiety, and life transitions.

If you've noticed a shift in your own or your child’s mental health or if your teenager is distancing themselves, you're in the right place. If you are struggling with anxious feelings, confidence, and managing life transitions, that is okay. Being human comes with challenges for all of us, no matter what. It can be difficult to figure out how to navigate the transitions of school or work, relationships, and family dynamics. The first step of reaching out is the hardest. My goal is to welcome you into therapy with genuine care and work collaboratively with you and/or your child to heal and grow.

Does anxiety, depression, or trauma interfere with living the life you imagined for yourself? Do you feel overwhelmed with competing priorities, struggling to fit it all in? Are you too focused on the needs of others while neglecting your own? Life is messy, full of ups and downs, often complicated by stressful experiences, deteriorating relationships, and major life transitions. Amid the chaos, you may have lost your sense of identity, your purpose, your confidence, your support system.

I have a passion for working with couples by improving communication to reduce conflict. I help couples understand how their history has impacted who they are today. Using a solution focused approach and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we will explore unconscious triggers, unmet needs and gain a deeper understanding of our behavioral responses. While working on guided communication exercises, the couple will learn effective ways to express their needs and develop appropriate behavioral responses during conflict.

I specialize in helping teens and young adults (ages 13-25) with concerns related to trauma, anxiety, and stress. In our sessions, you'll find a safe, non-judgmental space where we can process your past experiences, help you cope in the present, and prepare you for a bright future. I am affirming of all identities and especially enjoy working with the LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent populations.

Change is scary, but so is staying the same. Pursuing therapy can be intimidating, but it is courageous work, so I am glad that you are here! I provide individual therapy to young adults and adults. I have experience in working with concerns related to anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, depression, racial identity and cultural concerns, LGBTQIA+, body image and self-esteem, eating concerns, life transitions and career concerns. My focus as a therapist is to provide you with unconditional support, validate your experiences and feelings, and challenge you to grow to achieve the desired change you seek.
