Hello, I'm Sarah, and I'm here to walk alongside you on your journey towards healing and happiness. With a compassionate approach rooted in my training from Sam Houston State University, I specialize in supporting individuals, teens, children, and couples through life's challenges. Together, we'll navigate the depths of trauma, anxiety, and depression, using gentle techniques like play therapy, EMDR, and Gottman Method Level 1.
For me, helping others has always been deeply personal. I believe every person deserves to feel heard, seen, and understood. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Houston–Clear Lake. I enjoy working with individuals navigating chronic pain or illness, adjustment challenges, and caregiver burnout. I bring a compassionate, collaborative approach to therapy and strive to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, and respected as we work together toward meaningful and realistic goals.
My primary goal is to provide a helping hand to clients in need. Clients will find that I am able to listen and provide helpful strategies to help navigate through whatever journey they find themselves on. Whether it be a young child, adolescent, or adult, I am able to keep them at the center of the therapeutic process and help them discover peace and purpose.
I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Houston and obtained a Masters of Education in Counselor Education from the University of St. Thomas. I was an educator for 13 years including 5 as a school counselor/administrator.
As a school counselor, I have assisted students with disabilities, trauma, mood and personality disorders. I have also worked with parents who find themselves in a cycle that they feel cannot be broken. My intention is to help clients identify hurts, hang-ups, and habits that keep them from living to their full potential and work through them.
I am EMDR trained and provide trauma informed care. I have also utilized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and various interventions from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to treat clients with anxiety, depression, and self-harming behaviors.
Whatever it is you are facing, I am willing to listen and provide sound care. As a fellow human, I understand the needs that can arise from trauma, hurt, and misunderstanding. If you are in need of an ear to hear and a heart to care, please contact me. I am here to help.
I have been helping people overcome life's challenges in various professions for almost 30 years. I truly enjoy being there for people when they need help, reassurance and guidance. I do my best to be approachable and see the life my clients are living.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Houston
Searching for therapists in Houston starts with identifying the kind of support that fits your needs. In a large metro area, you may find therapists who focus on anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to address. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
Houston has many therapy options across neighborhoods like Montrose, Midtown, the Heights, and nearby areas such as Pearland and Sugar Land. That volume can make the search feel harder unless you narrow by the factors that matter most. Consider whether you prefer in-person counseling in Houston or virtual sessions from home, and check appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, and whether a therapist is accepting new patients. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand a therapist’s communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns similar to yours.
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 and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for a therapist in Houston, TX, enter your insurance details, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly with therapists who are accepting new patients. You can browse providers, review bios, and choose a covered therapist when you’re ready.
