Hello, and welcome. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) serving clients throughout Texas. I earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology and completed my LPC internship under the supervision of an exceptional LPC Supervisor here in Texas.
My experience spans a variety of mental health settings, including working as a case manager and service coordinator for individuals with developmental disabilities, a rehabilitation teacher in a state psychiatric hospital, a therapist on a geriatric behavioral health unit, and a counselor in medication-assisted treatment (MAT), substance use disorder (SUD) inpatient and outpatient programs, and individual counseling settings. These experiences have allowed me to support individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use disorders, grief, life transitions, and relationship challenges.
A primary focus of my work is helping individuals heal from trauma and anxiety. I have completed the training portion of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an evidence-based approach that uses bilateral eye movements similar to EMDR while incorporating its own unique treatment methods. Throughout my career, I have come to recognize how common trauma is and how profoundly it can impact a person's emotions, relationships, self-worth, and overall quality of life.
My counseling style is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each client's unique needs. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard and respected. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, trauma, substance use, grief, or feeling stuck in life, my goal is to help you build insight, strengthen coping skills, and work toward meaningful change over time.
I believe that every person deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, my goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you can openly discuss your concerns and work toward meaningful change. I understand that seeking mental health care can feel overwhelming, and I strive to make the process approachable, collaborative, and personalized. I'm committed to partnering with you to help you achieve your goals.
I earned my Master's in Education Psychology and started my counseling career in 2006. I've provided mental health services in schools, homes, groups, and private practice. In 2014, I became an LPC supervisor and later assumed the role of Director of Clinical Services at the San Marcos Treatment Center in central Texas. I specialize in trauma, mood disorders, relational conflicts, and identity issues, and mentor aspiring therapists.

I specialize in trauma and PTSD, anxiety and depression, and provide LGBTQ+ and gender-affirming care in a safe, judgment-free space. I believe in psycho-education and working on negative core beliefs. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, learn practical tools that actually help, and feel more confident moving forward.
I come from a systems and person-centered background, with a masters degree in Social Work. I am fully credentialed as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and use a relational approach to meet my clients where they are at.

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Houston
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Houston starts with looking for identity-affirming care. An affirming therapist may have experience with LGBTQIA+ identity, gender identity, family or relationship stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Some therapists list affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or work with LGBTQIA+ couples in their profiles. Reviewing those details can help you find someone whose training and listed focus areas match the care you want.
Houston has a large mental health community, which means there may be many options across neighborhoods like Montrose, Midtown, the Heights, and the Medical Center. That volume can make it harder to narrow your search. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near home, work, or school, or virtual appointments that expand access to affirming therapists across Texas. You can also compare appointment availability, therapist background, therapeutic approach, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Therapist bios can show how someone describes their style, the communities they work with, and what you can expect in a first session.
Therapy in Houston can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+ therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can filter by insurance, appointment type, availability, and specialty, making it easier to find a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and is ready to take new patients.
