Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Texas covered by Aetna

You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism-related challenges, parenting concerns, or a major life transition. Whatever brings you to therapy, I want to provide a space where you feel understood, supported, and comfortable being yourself.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate with a master’s degree from Lamar University and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Texas A&M University. My journey to becoming a therapist began in education, where I worked as both a teacher and school counselor in the Dallas area. Supporting children, adolescents, and families during those years showed me the importance of feeling understood and supported, and those experiences continue to shape the way I practice today.

I work with children, teens, adults, and parents across Texas through virtual therapy. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and neurodivergent-affirming, with a focus on helping clients better understand themselves, navigate challenges, and create meaningful change in their lives.

In addition to therapy, I have experience conducting diagnostic evaluations for ADHD, autism, and a range of mental health concerns, as well as immigration evaluations. This work has deepened my appreciation for the unique ways each person experiences the world and reinforced the importance of understanding the whole person rather than focusing solely on a diagnosis.

If therapy were easy, everyone would already be doing it. I work best with people who want a direct therapist, not just a sounding board. I believe that healing comes from doing the work. Real, lasting change demands full commitment—a willingness to show up daily to become the best version of ourselves.

With 24 years of experience as an LPC, my professional background spans leadership, clinical practice, and mentorship. Throughout my career, I have learned that people value connection - whether it’s through shared goals, emotions, or by being seen and heard. I work alongside adults and teens (16+) facing addiction, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship difficulties, and parenting or teen struggles. Supporting military service members and veterans is also an important part of my work.

I believe that healing begins when people feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a space where you don't have to have all the answers or pretend everything is okay you can simply show up as you are.

My path to becoming a therapist began at a young age. I earned my bachelor's degree in Education before completing my Master of Social Work at Baylor University and becoming a Social Worker. My background in both education and clinical social work allows me to understand how life's experiences, relationships, and environments shape who we are while helping clients develop practical, meaningful strategies for change.

I founded LyricsHeart Services because I wanted to build a practice centered on compassion, connection, and hope. The name "LyricsHeart" was inspired by my dog, Lyric, whose unconditional love and comfort reminded me of the profound impact that being present for someone can have. After experiencing the grief of losing Lyric, I gained an even deeper appreciation for the ways loss, love, and resilience shape our lives. Those experiences continue to influence how I show up for my clients, with empathy, authenticity, and the belief that healing is possible even after life's most difficult moments.

Today, I primarily work with adults, young adults, and kids navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, stress, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and the emotional weight that can come from trying to hold everything together. My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I don't believe therapy is about "fixing" you, it's about helping you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and build the tools you need to move forward with confidence.

Whether you're facing a major life transition, processing a loss, or simply looking for a place where you can breathe and be yourself, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
