Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Belton, TX

Hi, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's degree in Counseling and Development from Lamar University. I specialize in working with adults ages 18 and older, with a dedicated focus on helping clients heal from trauma and PTSD. My practice is designed to be a safe, welcoming, and open-minded space where you can share your story without fear of judgment. I am passionate about partnering with individuals who are ready to process difficult experiences and make meaningful changes in their lives.

For the last 8 years, I've had the privilege of helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, family challenges, and the moments in life that leave you feeling stuck or disconnected from yourself. I also support concerns including grief, OCD, panic, ADHD, and identity. My work is grounded in the belief that healing involves the whole person—mind and body. I bring warmth, curiosity, compassion, and humor into therapy while helping you recognize your strengths and create meaningful change. As Brene Brown says, "You can choose courage, or you can choose comfort. You can't have both".

You may be the person everyone else turns to, while quietly feeling overwhelmed yourself. Maybe anxiety has become part of your daily life, stress never seems to let up, or you're navigating depression, grief, relationship challenges, or a major transition. You may know something needs to change but aren't sure where to start. You don't have to figure it out alone.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults looking for practical, honest, and supportive therapy. I especially enjoy working with men who may have spent years putting their own needs aside or feeling like they have to handle everything on their own. My approach is collaborative and affirming, with a focus on understanding what is keeping you stuck, building on your strengths, and creating meaningful change that carries into your everyday life.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to turn? You don’t have to navigate it alone. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, truly understood, and never judged. I take a collaborative, down-to-earth approach, meeting you where you are and focusing on your unique experiences, strengths, and goals. Together, we’ll make sense of what you’re carrying and create a path toward meaningful, lasting change—at your pace.

What I want my clients to know about me is that I genuinely believe therapy should feel like a space where you can exhale. Life can be overwhelming, and many people spend so much time trying to hold everything together that they rarely have a place where they feel fully seen, understood, and supported without judgment. My goal is to create that space for you.

I approach therapy with compassion, honesty, and collaboration. I don’t believe clients need to be “fixed.” I believe people often need support understanding themselves more deeply, healing from painful experiences, and learning healthier ways to navigate life, relationships, stress, and emotions. I work alongside my clients to help them reconnect with their values, build emotional resilience, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling. (Headway)

My style is warm and supportive, but also practical. I want therapy to feel meaningful and useful, not like a place where you simply vent without growth. I often incorporate approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients recognize patterns that keep them stuck while building healthier coping skills and greater self-awareness.

I also understand how difficult it can be to ask for help in the first place. Many clients come into therapy carrying shame, self-doubt, anxiety, trauma, or the pressure of trying to meet everyone else’s expectations while neglecting their own needs. I strive to meet clients exactly where they are emotionally and help them feel safe enough to be honest about what they’re experiencing — even the parts they may have never shared out loud before.

You do not have to have everything figured out before you start. You simply have to be willing to show up as yourself, and we can work through the rest together.
