Therapist

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.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

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.
