I have always loved connecting with people. Once I woke up to my own journey of healing, growth, and self-love, it seemed natural to support others on their journey as well. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have a Reiki (energy work) Master certification.I come from a large family and I was born and raised in Georgetown, Texas. I have benefited personally from incorporating yoga, meditation, and mindfulness, and energy work into my own life.

The majority of my sessions are with couples. I enjoy working with pre-marital or pre-engaged clients who are looking to discuss sometimes difficult subjects before getting married. I also enjoy working with committed partners who may be struggling to communicate or connect in a intimate way who are looking for some guidance in their relationship.


I like to help couples to understand each other in a more profound way to help strengthen their existing relationship. It is sometimes difficult to talk to our partners about necessary subjects. My hope as a counselor is to provide a safe environment to discuss these topics with my clients.


I currently see clients with anger management issues as well and I am certified in Anger Resolution Therapy. I particularly enjoy working with couples who are experiencing anger issues in their relationship. I also recently finished training for my Sex Therapy Candidates' License, and I am accepting sex therapy clients.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Texas

Searching for therapists in Texas starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Across a state as large and varied as Texas, therapy needs and available therapists can differ across urban, suburban, and rural areas. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or major life changes. Review each therapist’s listed specialties, approach, and experience to see whether their background matches your needs. Some therapists may use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, while others may focus on specific populations or concerns.

Location and format also matter when comparing Texas therapists. In larger areas like Houston, Dallas, and Austin, you may have many choices, while other parts of the state may have fewer local options. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual sessions for scheduling flexibility or easier access from home. As you narrow your search, look at appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how they describe their style, what sessions may feel like, and whether their communication approach fits your preferences.

The cost of therapy in Texas can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for Texas therapists who match your preferences, accept your insurance, and are ready to take new patients. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. From there, you can compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
