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.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

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.

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