Virtual & in-person • 17 mi away • Sugar Land, TX


I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas with experience supporting teens, young adults, older adults, and families through some of life’s most difficult moments. I earned my Master of Science in Social Work from UT Austin’s Steve Hicks School of Social Work, with a focus on clinical practice and healthcare.

For the past several years, I worked in a cancer hospital providing psychological support to patients and their families as they navigated serious illness, uncertainty, loss, and major life transitions. This experience shaped my particular interest in grief and loss, medical trauma, chronic illness, spirituality, and the emotional impact of health challenges.

I believe our experiences become part of our story, but they do not have to define what comes next. My goal is to create a warm, authentic space where you can better understand what you are experiencing, reconnect with your strengths, and find meaning and a path forward. I am also conversational in Spanish.

Sometimes life shifts in ways we do not expect. You may notice yourself reacting differently in certain situations, feeling overwhelmed by emotions that seem to come out of nowhere, or getting stuck in thoughts you cannot quiet. You might find yourself wondering why you ruminate, why certain people or moments affect you so deeply, or why you act differently in relationships, even when you want things to be better.

These reactions are often linked to attachment experiences from childhood, unresolved past experiences, or even traumatic events later in life. The body and mind hold onto these experiences, and they can surface when we least expect them. Therapy is a space to slow down and understand what is happening, rather than feeling confused or frustrated by it.

I work with children, teens, and adults using an attachment-based and trauma-informed approach that helps clients understand the conflicts that happen inside themselves and within their relationships. Many people experience parts of themselves that want different things at the same time, such as closeness and distance, or feel strong emotions that do not seem to match the situation. Therapy helps make sense of these internal struggles with curiosity rather than judgment.

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Houston

Finding couples therapists in Houston starts with naming what you want to work on together. Couples counseling in Houston may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, parenting disagreements, or premarital counseling. Not all therapists have specific training in working with couples, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list couples modalities such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy in their profiles.

Houston has a large network of therapists, which can make the search broad across neighborhoods like Montrose, the Heights, Midtown, and the Texas Medical Center area. For couples therapy in Houston, Texas, the right fit also needs to work for both partners’ schedules, session preferences, and location needs. Some couples prefer in-person sessions with a relationship therapist in Houston, TX, while others prefer virtual appointments that are easier to fit around work, childcare, or commute times. Reading therapist bios can help you compare communication style, approach, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered to assess fit for couples specifically.

Relationship counseling in Houston can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you find marriage counselors in Houston who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, verify insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
