Find a therapist in Temple, TX — covered by insurance

I’m an LCSW, veteran, and mom of three, and I understand that life can be messy, complicated, and sometimes really hard. My professional background includes psychiatric, medical, and domestic violence settings, but I also bring the perspective that comes from being human and navigating life’s challenges. I especially enjoy working with women experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, motherhood, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My hope is to offer a space where you can exhale, feel understood, and know you don’t have to have it all figured out.

As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 10 years, I work with a plethora of inter-generational clients aged 21-90 who are struggling with anxiety and depression and trauma.

As a chaplain, I take a psycho-spiritual approach and work with clients assisting with intercultural issues, blended family dynamics, religiosity challenges and grief & loss.

• My approach to therapy is interactive and collaborative, focused on your self discovery and growth. I see our work as a partnership where your voice, values, and goals matter. Together, we will explore what is bringing you to therapy and clarify the changes you hope to see in your life, relationships, and overall sense of well being.
• I prefer to join in with my clients rather than sit back and simply observe. We will actively work together to identify patterns, build insight, and develop practical tools that enhance your quality of life. I will offer gentle guidance, ask thoughtful questions, and invite your feedback so our sessions feel useful and relevant to you.
• I believe the therapy relationship is designed to support the change you are seeking. Our work will help you move toward those desired shifts at a pace that feels right, while honoring what is most important to you. If you are ready to explore your next steps in a collaborative, supportive space, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

I am a retired United States Marine who believes wholeheartedly in helping trauma survivors thrive. I help you with new coping skills, manage PTSD, and walk along side of you during the difficult times. I specialize in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

I am a bilingual English/Spanish Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C), and Infant Mental Health Endorsed (IMH-E®). I provide virtual therapy throughout Texas for children and teens ages 6–18, adults, and parents. I especially support individuals navigating ADHD and attention challenges, pregnancy and postpartum changes, infertility and fertility treatments, NICU experiences, parenting stress, anxiety, and major life transitions. My goal is to create a space where you can feel heard, understood, supported, and never judged. Sometimes therapy is about finding solutions and building new tools, and sometimes it is simply about having a safe place to talk, process, and feel supported.
