Maybe your brain will not slow down long enough to finish what you started. Maybe the worry arrives before you are even out of bed. Maybe something happened years ago that you have never really put down. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors carrying ADHD, anxiety, depression, and trauma, and I have spent over six years doing it across private practice, schools, and clinics. I work with people of all ages and abilities, in English or Spanish. It would be my honor to be a part of your journey.

Therapist

I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families who are struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral challenges, stress, or other life challenges find greater balance and feel more like themselves. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply know that something needs to change, you can get help. Together, we’ll identify what you want to change and create a path toward a healthier, more balanced, and harmonious life.

My approach is holistic, solution-oriented, and empowering. Each session is tailored to what you need, and we’ll look at the different parts of your life that may be affecting how you feel and function. We’ll talk openly about what’s going on, identify what can change, and build healthy skills you can use in your everyday life. As a Reiki Master/Teacher, I also offer spiritual counseling for those who feel it is an important part of their journey.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. If you’re ready to make a change and become the best version of yourself, I’d love to work with you. We’ll start by talking about your goals and create a plan together, whether you’re looking for short-term support or longer-term growth. Reach out to schedule a session and let’s get started.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time outdoors, riding my horses, and being with my family. These activities help me stay grounded and connected to what matters most in life. I value balance, authenticity, and meaningful relationships, and I bring those same values into my work with clients. I strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves and working toward their goals.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Houston

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.

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