If you are carrying grief, trauma, or navigating a major life transition, you may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Experiences such as loss, divorce, infertility, or other unexpected changes can deeply impact your sense of stability and alters your identity.
I bring over two decades of experience working in a variety of clinical settings. My background includes serving as a probation officer, directing three partial hospitalization programs, working in an inpatient psychiatric facility, and building a private practice. These experiences have given me a broad and practical understanding of how people struggle—and more importantly, how they heal.
I hold a Master of Education in Counseling and Guidance and have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2001. I specialize in trauma and grief, using EMDR as my primary modality, along with CBT and other evidence-based approaches. I also value and incorporate principles from 12-step recovery when working with clients or loved ones living with addiction.
I work with adults facing trauma, grief, and life transitions, including those who are high-functioning but internally struggling. Regardless of what brought you here, therapy can be a place to gain clarity, build resilience, and reconnect with yourself.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Houston, TX
Finding OCD therapists in Houston starts with looking for the right clinical training, not just a nearby office. Obsessive-compulsive disorder can involve intrusive thoughts, checking, contamination concerns, reassurance seeking, or mental rituals. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a well-known therapy approach for OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare options, look for a therapist who lists OCD, ERP, obsessive thoughts, or related anxiety concerns in their bio.
Houston has many mental health providers across neighborhoods like Montrose, the Heights, Midtown, and the Texas Medical Center area, which can make the search feel broad. Some people prefer in-person sessions close to home or work, while others choose virtual appointments to fit care into a busy schedule or widen their options. For OCD care, look beyond a therapist who generally mentions anxiety or OCD familiarity. Review their profile for specific ERP training, therapy approach, appointment availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before you book.
Therapy in Houston can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who are accepting new patients, take a wide range of insurance plans, and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. You can browse OCD therapists in Houston, compare bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
