Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Friendswood, TX

You might look like you're holding it all together on the outside while feeling exhausted, anxious, disconnected, or overwhelmed on the inside. Maybe you've spent so much time taking care of everyone else that you've stopped checking in with yourself. Or maybe life changed unexpectedly, and you're trying to figure out who you are now.

If that sounds familiar, you're not alone.

I work with children, teens, adults, couples, families, veterans, first responders, and LGBTQ+ individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, major life transitions, and the stress that comes from simply trying to keep up. My goal isn't to tell you how to live your life. It's to help you understand yourself more deeply, quiet the constant mental noise, and feel more confident in the choices you make.

Clients often tell me they appreciate that I'm easy to talk to, calm, honest, and genuine. Therapy with me is a place where you don't have to have it all figured out. You can show up exactly as you are, and we'll take it one step at a time.

As someone who wears many hats, I deeply understand how overwhelming life can feel at times. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

It's easy to feel stuck in life with limited support. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience in private practice and inpatient settings, I strive to make my clients seen and heard for who they are.

My goal is simple: to make psychiatric care feel a little more human. I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with degrees from the University of Oklahoma and Wilkes University and experience in inpatient, outpatient, and correctional psychiatry . I help adults manage anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, mood disorders and sleep concerns through thoughtful brief supportive therapy, medication management and evidence-based care that starts with listening.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I help families, teens, and young adults make sense of their mental health and overall wellbeing. I combine lived experience, strength-based, and practical approaches to help you reach your goals. If you're ready to take the next step, please reach out to me for a free 15-minute consultation.

I work hard to be clinically informed and Christ centered in all that I do with my clients.

Taking the first step can be a tough decision. As your therapist, I will listen and learn about your concerns to help you work through them. As a client, you need a safe space where you feel seen and heard. I have a natural sense of empathy which helps my clients feel more comfortable talking about things that may not be so comfortable. I look forward to providing the support you need to keeping taking steps toward making the changes you want to make. I work with individuals, couples and families. Family is important to me which contributes to my passion for helping others. I feel like the healthier we are as individuals, the more we can accomplish together.
