I have been practicing since 2008 and bring over 17 years of experience helping people move through life’s difficult seasons with more clarity, strength, and self-trust. I grew up in Canada and later moved to Texas, where I completed my master’s in Counseling.

What truly sets me apart is my calm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental approach. I believe in meeting every individual exactly where they are, creating a safe and affirming space for open, honest communication. Together, we’ll build a collaborative relationship where goals, preferences, and values guide every step of your care.

Everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and respected without fear of shame or judgment.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Garland, TX
Finding OCD therapists in Garland starts with looking for training that matches the care you need. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use to support people with OCD, and not every therapist has specific training in it. As you compare options, look for experience with intrusive thoughts, compulsive checking, contamination fears, reassurance seeking, or related anxiety concerns. A therapist’s bio can help you see whether they list OCD, ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or acceptance and commitment therapy as part of their approach.
Garland has local therapy options, and virtual care can also expand your search across Texas when you want more choice or need a schedule that fits your day. For OCD care, it helps to look beyond whether a therapist lists OCD as a specialty and check for direct ERP experience, session structure, and current appointment availability. You can also review whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation, which gives you a chance to ask about their approach before booking a first session.
Therapy in Garland can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway makes it easier to compare therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, choose virtual or in-person care, and book directly when you’re ready.
