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 understand that attending therapy can feel intimidating and overwhelming, and frequently, the most difficult aspect of the entire process is simply taking the initial step to begin. Nevertheless, you are here now, and you are officially embarking on your personal path to heal and rebuild. I genuinely welcome the chance to connect with you and discover more about exactly how I can support you. My personal approach is consistently warm, deeply empathetic, and highly collaborative.

Some experiences change the way we see ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us.

Whether you're grieving a loss, recovering from trauma, navigating a mental health challenge, or trying to regain your footing after a difficult season of life, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by emotions that seem impossible to untangle on your own.

I'm Michelle, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, trauma, PTSD, and major life challenges. Through my experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, as well as crisis intervention work, I've had the privilege of helping people navigate some of the most difficult moments of their lives. One thing I've learned is that healing rarely happens all at once—it happens one step, one conversation, and one breakthrough at a time.

My goal is to provide a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to move forward.

I've been a counselor for over 10 years andI help people who seem fine on the outside but feel exhausted, anxious, or never-enough on the inside. My clinical background is in Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), perfectionism, shame, and the emotional chaos that high-achievers tend to hide really well.

I’m direct, warm, and human. No therapist robot voice. No judgment. A little sarcasm. And a lot of focus on what actually helps you feel better — not just cope harder.

Have you ever felt like you're the one everyone depends on, yet no one really sees how much you're carrying? Maybe you've been holding everything together while quietly struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or questions about who you are and where you're headed. You don't have to keep carrying that weight by yourself. I provide virtual therapy for adults throughout Texas, helping people navigate anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and identity concerns while also supporting family conflict, stress management, grief and loss, trauma, and women's issues that often become part of the same story. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, understood without judgment, and empowered to move toward the life you want to build.
