Hello there, my name is Josie! I enjoy being a therapist because I have experienced the benefits of therapy myself, I enjoy working with people, and I believe life is worth living, but sometimes we need an extra person in our corner to help us navigate the ups and downs of this life.
I am a duel -licensed mental health professional practicing as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota. I earned my Master's Degree in Counseling from the University of Houston Clear Lake in 2004. I have worked as a school counselor and for the past 16 years as a therapist in private practice. I provide a compassionate, inclusive space for teens, young adults and adults navigating life's complexities. Whether you are dealing with a demanding career, exploring your identity, or healing from painful life events, I am here to walk alongside you. My practice proudly welcomes and affirms culturally diverse and LGBTQ+ individuals. I specialize in helping clients process and heal from Anxiety and Depression, Trauma, Loss and Grief, Relationship Issues, and Self-Esteem and Self-Image issues.
Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress management concerns, relationship issues, or the emotional weight of trauma and major life changes. You may be noticing overthinking, low motivation, self-doubt, communication problems, conflict in important relationships, or patterns that keep repeating no matter how hard you try to change them. I work with individuals, couples, and families who want more clarity, healthier relationships, and practical tools for moving forward.
My approach is relational, compassionate, and tailored to the person in front of me. I draw from evidence-based and attachment-focused therapies to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen emotional awareness, and create more meaningful change. Whether you are working through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, family conflict, or the effects of past experiences on your present life, therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what is happening, and begin building something healthier..
