Life can feel overwhelming at times, and you don't have to navigate it alone. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults facing depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, and the kind of stress that quietly wears you down — and I especially enjoy supporting men who may be trying therapy for the first time. My goal is to provide a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and respectfully challenged to grow. Together, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and create practical strategies that move you toward the life you want to live. I hold a Master of Education from Lamar University and bring a warm, empowering, judgment-free approach to every session.
I have a passion for helping people navigate life's challenges. Seeking help can feel like a big step, but it's also a powerful one. I offer a collaborative and nonjudgemental space for discovering strengths and with helping you feel empowered.

I'm an LPC based in Texas who works with adults navigating addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, and the kind of stress that doesn't go away after a good night's sleep. I'm not the therapist who nods quietly and lets you talk in circles — I'm engaged, I'm direct, and I'll genuinely challenge you when I think it'll help. I also believe laughter belongs in the therapy room. Healing doesn't have to be a grim process, and some of the most meaningful breakthroughs I've witnessed have happened mid-joke. I offer telehealth sessions throughout Texas and accept Aetna, Cigna, Carelon Behavioral Health, and Ascension.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Amarillo, TX
Finding addiction therapists in Amarillo starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, nicotine dependence, sexual addiction, gambling, and other behavioral concerns. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction-informed care. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, so it helps to look for a therapist whose listed specialties match the type of support you want.
Amarillo has local counselors, therapists, and rehab-related resources, and virtual therapy can add more options when local appointment times or specialties are limited. Recovery can move in different directions over time — a therapist with a non-judgmental style and experience in addiction care can help you stay connected to support. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios can also show how a therapist describes their approach, experience with addiction, and session structure before you book.
Addiction therapy in Amarillo can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see estimated costs before booking. Headway helps you search for therapists who focus on addiction, review their profiles, check your insurance, and book directly when you’re ready — making it easier to find someone who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and is taking new patients.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
