Many people turn to psychotherapy or counseling for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, and painful relationship patterns, or simply because they feel something is missing from life. At times, we may lack the words to describe our struggles or suffering. By gaining insight into past relationships and experiences, many people begin to make progress toward overcoming these difficulties, becoming more effective in both their work and their personal lives. I am a licensed clinician with 20 years of experience helping individuals achieve a more fulfilling life.

After more than four decades as a therapist, I've learned something important: most people don't come to therapy because they're weak. They come because they've been strong for far too long. Life has a way of asking us to carry more than we ever imagined, whether you're caring for aging parents, grieving a loss, adjusting to retirement, managing chronic stress, or simply feeling like you've lost yourself while taking care of everyone else.

For more than 43 years, I've helped adults navigate anxiety, depression, grief, caregiving, major life transitions, chronic health concerns, and the challenges that come with every stage of adulthood. I provide a warm, compassionate, and culturally responsive space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin making sense of what you're experiencing. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish and welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds seeking practical support and lasting change.

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.
