Grief counselors and therapists in Houston, TX

I have a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies from Texas A&M University (2009) and a Master's in School Counseling from Sam Houston State University (2012).

Like many clients, I learned at a young age that life could be difficult. I have lost many loved ones, including a parent and sibling, to illness, accident, and addiction. These experiences have given me empathy for others as they endure their trials.

With a doctorate in developmental psychology, I bring both expertise and a down-to-earth approach to helping people find clarity and direction when life feels overwhelming. Originally from the Midwest, I’ve called Texas home for three decades, where I enjoy family life, yoga, travel, and the challenge of keeping up with too many pets. I bring warmth, experience, and a touch of humor to therapy, walking alongside clients as they navigate growth and change with compassion and perspective.

I am here for anyone who seeks uncommon peace and lasting contentment regardless of circumstances. As a therapist and theologian, I will (upon request) seamlessly weave Christian faith and mental wellness, treating both with equal reverence. Serenity is found where gratitude, intentional thought-authoring, emotional regulation, and value-driven alignment grow. Let's do this!

My individual work helps you build on your strengths while you gain a healthier perspective on what you may currently perceive as weaknesses. I want to help you understand and appreciate the unique combination of gifts you have to draw on. My goal is to help you find more meaningful and fulfilling ways to negotiate your life's path. I work with non-traditional individuals using traditional insight-oriented methods. Many of my clients are individuals in non-traditional jobs and/or relationships who want to look deeply into their own experiences.

As your therapist, my goal is to create a warm and welcoming environment to help you heal. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years of experience in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, stress, trauma, personality disorders and other mental health issues. I currently provide services to clients 18 years and older. I have experience in working with individuals, couples and families. I serve the LBGTQ+ community, young adults, college students, and older adults.

Are you not feeling like yourself lately? I work with women who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, irritated, sad, or simply not where they’d like to be. Maybe you’re dealing with relationship challenges, aging parents, family estrangement, a career change, financial stress, or a transition you didn’t see coming. Sometimes changes in how you look or see yourself, whether from illness, hair loss, or other life changes, can affect your confidence in ways that are hard to explain. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you reach out. We’ll start where you are and work from there.
