Virtual & in-person • Longview, TX


I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and board-approved supervisor in Texas. I received my Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2017 from The University of Texas at Tyler. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the effects of past experiences that continue to show up in the present.

In my work, I focus on creating a space that feels steady, supportive, and nonjudgmental. Many of the people I work with aren’t always sure where to start. They may just know that something feels off or overwhelming. Together, we begin to make sense of those experiences in a way that feels more manageable.

I believe healing begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported without judgment. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I have over a decade of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families across outpatient, community mental health, crisis intervention, emergency departments, and behavioral health settings.

Throughout my career, I have helped individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, ADHD, mood disorders, and crisis situations.

My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel empowered to build resilience, gain insight, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a LGBTQIA Therapist in Richmond, TX

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Richmond starts with looking for identity-affirming care that fits your needs. An affirming therapist may support people navigating identity, gender, relationships, family dynamics, stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for profiles that mention affirmative therapy, gender-diverse experience, WPATH training, or direct experience supporting LGBTQIA+ people. The right fit is about more than general experience — it also includes a therapist’s approach, communication style, and ability to offer care that respects your identity.

In a smaller city like Richmond, the number of local LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists may be more limited, so virtual appointments can help expand your options across Texas. You may prefer an in-person office nearby, or you may find that virtual care makes scheduling easier. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you see how they describe their work with LGBTQIA+ people and what to expect in a first session.

Therapy in Richmond can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and seeing your estimated cost before booking can make the process clearer. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review detailed bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
