I earned my Doctorate in Counselor Education from Sam Houston State University in 2015, following a Master’s Degree in Counseling from the University of Houston in 2003. My clinical specialty is working with young adults, adolescents, and families, with over five years of direct clinical experience.

In addition to my clinical work, I bring more than a decade of experience as a counselor educator at the university level. I also have over 20 years of experience in public education, including 13 years as a certified secondary school counselor. This diverse background allows me to support clients with a deep understanding of both academic and developmental challenges across the lifespan.

Together, we’ll navigate the highs and lows in a space that’s safe, supportive, and free of judgment. I believe healing and growth happen when you feel truly heard and understood. Just as pearls are shaped through pressure, our own resilience and beauty often emerge from life’s most difficult moments and I’m honored to walk beside you on that transformative journey.

Hi, I’m Elizabeth. I work with women and teen girls ages 15+ experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, burnout, menopause, and major life transitions.

My approach is warm, practical, and collaborative.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused and strength-based approaches, and Christian counseling when desired. I also incorporate other evidence-based strategies to help you recognize patterns, manage difficult emotions, build healthier boundaries, and feel more confident in your daily life.

I especially enjoy working with women who spend so much time caring for others that they begin to feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or disconnected from themselves.

Therapy is available in English and Spanish. Together, we will focus on helping you feel more grounded, supported, and better equipped to move forward.

I am passionate about helping individuals overcome mental and emotional obstacles and believe that therapy should be a collaborative experience. With a focus on sexual trauma, PTSD, LGBTQIA+, and serious and persistent mental illness, I am equipped to provide comprehensive mental health services to adults of any age. In addition to my clinical work, I am an animal lover and avid reader, and I bring these passions into my therapeutic approach. I welcome clients from all walks of life, including those who practice polyamory, open relationships, or other non-traditional relationship dynamics. Kink-friendly.

Hi, I’m Dr. Rukhsar Ali, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and stress-related challenges. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and have experience providing psychiatric care across a variety of outpatient, community, and behavioral health settings. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and personalized—I believe every person deserves to feel heard, understood, and involved in their treatment. Together, we'll create a plan that supports your goals and helps you move toward lasting wellness.

I know what it’s like to want change and feel unsure where to begin. That’s why I created Oh Shift-a space to pause, breathe, and start again. As a dual-certified Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience, I bring clinical expertise grounded in genuine compassion. I don’t believe you’re broken, I believe you’re becoming. Your story matters, and this work is about helping you shift into the next version of yourself with clarity, confidence, and intention.
