Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Sugar Land, TX

Life can throw a lot at us and it's incredibly common to find yourself feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just tired of repeating the same patterns. Maybe you notice anxiety is calling the shots, your relationships are feeling out of balance, or it is becoming harder and harder to manage stress. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am deeply passionate about helping adults untangle these exact patterns. If you are ready to figure out why you operate the way you do and want real, practical skills to move forward, I am excited to do this work with you.

My therapeutic style is warm, solution-focused and deeply collaborative. I aim to create a space where you feel completely supported while challenging you to look at things from a new perspective and confront what may be holding you back. I love helping people look at the big picture, explore how all the different parts of them work together, and how past experiences might be impacting the present.

Because no two people are the same, my therapeutic framework is tailored too what you need in the moment. I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches including DBT, EMDR, IFS, and CBT to help you build a personalized toolkit,

I'm a warm, inquisitive, and compassionate therapist here to meet you where you are. I use my education and training as well as my experiences to inform my practice and create a comfortable space for us to explore your thoughts and emotions.

I have been assisting individuals, couples, and families since the 80's. I consider myself a lifelong learner who blends evidence-based practice with wit and wisdom. I am licensed in Texas as a clinical social worker and chemical dependency counselor. I earned my master's degree from The University of Kansas in '96. My focus was administration and community mental health. I completed the MSW clinical practicum and seminar so that I can attest to using both sides of my brain. In my opinion, every problem has a solution. It would be my honor to assist you.
