Find a therapist in Pearland, TX — covered by insurance

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas with experience supporting teens, young adults, older adults, and families through some of life’s most difficult moments. I earned my Master of Science in Social Work from UT Austin’s Steve Hicks School of Social Work, with a focus on clinical practice and healthcare.

For the past several years, I worked in a cancer hospital providing psychological support to patients and their families as they navigated serious illness, uncertainty, loss, and major life transitions. This experience shaped my particular interest in grief and loss, medical trauma, chronic illness, spirituality, and the emotional impact of health challenges.

I believe our experiences become part of our story, but they do not have to define what comes next. My goal is to create a warm, authentic space where you can better understand what you are experiencing, reconnect with your strengths, and find meaning and a path forward. I am also conversational in Spanish.

He is board-certified in Adult, Child, and Adolescent Psychiatry; a Family Nurse Practitioner, a DOT Medical Examiner, and a SAMHSA (X-Waiver) addiction provider.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, anxious, or struggling to find balance in your daily life? You do not have to navigate it alone. I provide compassionate, personalized mental health care in a supportive and judgment-free environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.

With over 45 years experience, clients consider me to be caring, direct, and engaging. Many things including stress both effect and are connected to your mental and physical health. Self care is very important and that will be a focus. People have some degree of trauma whether large or small which is a primary area of practice and experience for me. I utilize many tools including mindfulness, Brainspotting , Art and EMDR. I consider myself to be both empathetic, inquisitive and Intuitive. I currently only work with adults.

I have been an LPC for the past nine years and a school counselor for fifteen. I have experience helping children and adolescents process big emotions as well as adults struggling with anxiety, self esteem and relationship issues.

Clients should know that I believe everyone has strengths and the ability to create positive change. My approach is supportive, respectful, and focused on what’s working rather than what’s wrong. I see therapy as a collaborative process where we set clear goals, highlight your progress, and build practical solutions that fit your life. You can expect a safe, nonjudgmental space where your voice matters and where we work together to move toward hope, healing, and growth.

I am a therapist with over 30 years of experience working in a variety of treatment center settings, helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion and care. Throughout my career, I have specialized in treating abuse-related concerns and supporting clients in their healing journey. I work with children ages 10 and older, adolescents, and adults, providing a safe and supportive space for growth, recovery, and resilience. My broad professional background has allowed me to serve diverse populations and tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs.

As a Licensed Social Worker, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Our therapeutic sessions will be packed with discovery, while building long lasting tools to apply in times of need! I’ve been practicing for 27 years, and I have developed the skills needed to address a broad spectrum of counsel. I am super excited to start our journey together!

I am passionate about helping individuals overcome mental and emotional obstacles and believe that therapy should be a collaborative experience. With a focus on sexual trauma, PTSD, LGBTQIA+, and serious and persistent mental illness, I am equipped to provide comprehensive mental health services to adults of any age. In addition to my clinical work, I am an animal lover and avid reader, and I bring these passions into my therapeutic approach. I welcome clients from all walks of life, including those who practice polyamory, open relationships, or other non-traditional relationship dynamics. Kink-friendly.
