I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 17 years of combined experience in education and counseling, dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families find healing and clarity. Through my practice, Protecting Your Peace Christian Counseling, I provide a safe and supportive space rooted in Christian values while welcoming clients from all backgrounds. I specialize in areas such as relationships, family dynamics, trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and equipped with practical tools to move forward with confidence and peace.
Life can often feel like a series of overwhelming transitions, leaving you feeling disconnected or unsure of your next step. I provide a dedicated space for adults (22+) to slow down, reflect, and move forward with renewed clarity.
Whether you are navigating the complexities of trauma, managing a mood disorder, or facing significant life changes, my goal is to help you transform "feeling stuck" into a journey of intentional growth.
How We Will Work Together
My approach is relational, honest, and depth-oriented. Rather than just addressing surface-level symptoms, we will explore the unspoken beliefs and past experiences that quietly shape your daily life. By learning to listen to what your emotions are communicating, you can begin to respond to life’s challenges in ways that promote genuine healing and authentic connection.
Specialized Support for Couples
In addition to individual therapy, I specialize in marriage and pre-marital counseling. I help couples at all stages build resilient foundations, repair emotional disconnections, and foster a deeper sense of intimacy and mutual understanding.
**Please note: While I accept insurance for individual therapy, all couples counseling is private-pay only. Insurance does not cover relationship-focused therapy.
Your Journey Starts Here
You deserve a space where you are fully seen, heard, and empowered. No matter where you are in your journey, I am here to support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Pasadena, TX
Finding postpartum therapists in Pasadena starts with looking for support that matches your current needs. Postpartum concerns can include depression, anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties in perinatal mental health, maternal mental health, or postpartum support. The PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in care during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood.
In a smaller city like Pasadena, local in-person options may be more limited, and virtual therapy can expand the number of therapists available to you. New parents may also need care that works with changing schedules, infant care, and physical recovery. When narrowing your search, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their experience with postpartum concerns, their communication style, and what sessions may look like.
Therapy in Pasadena can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected payment before you book. Headway helps you search for postpartum therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
