I have been practicing since 2008 and bring over 17 years of experience helping people move through life’s difficult seasons with more clarity, strength, and self-trust. I grew up in Canada and later moved to Texas, where I completed my master’s in Counseling. Over the years, I have worked with clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief, relationship issues, and life transitions. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in painful patterns, or unsure how to move forward. My goal is to offer a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported as we begin making sense of what is weighing on you and what healing could look like.
What truly sets me apart is my calm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental approach. I believe in meeting every individual exactly where they are, creating a safe and affirming space for open, honest communication. Together, we’ll build a collaborative relationship where goals, preferences, and values guide every step of your care.

Everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and respected without fear of shame or judgment.

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.
