I have over 20 years experience in mental health working with individuals, couples and families of all ages. I have worked in homes, schools. communities, and outpatient settings. I specialize in teaching effective communication skills and problem resolution skills to all my clients. I am very active and directive and help clients work toward solutions to their problems. I am a Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician, trained in Somatic Psychotherapy and value mind-body health.
As a California LPCC (#21531) and Texas LPC (#92064), I bring experience from psychiatric hospitals, community mental health, and one of the nation's largest health systems. My approach combines CBT, EMDR, and attachment theory to help clients build resilience, improve relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I work with adults, executives, children, teens, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. I especially enjoy helping high-achieving professionals navigate the demands of leadership without sacrificing the relationships that matter most.
Clients describe me as calm, direct, and easy to talk to. I create a safe, judgment-free space while challenging clients to think deeply, examine unhelpful patterns, and take practical steps toward meaningful change. My goal is to help you move forward—not stay stuck.
After decades of leading teams, mentoring professionals, and building relationships, I realized my greatest fulfillment came from helping people grow. Becoming a therapist allows me to combine life experience with clinical training to help clients navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and create lasting change.
I believe therapy should have a clear purpose and measurable outcomes. Together, we'll develop SMART goals, monitor progress throughout treatment, and ensure you leave therapy with the skills and confidence to continue thriving long after our work together is complete.
Are you ready to commence your journey to healing, to discover your truth and breakthrough the mental barriers that have held you back from inner clarity and peace?
My goal is to foster a tranquil space not only where you are safe to share who you are but to facilitate the change you hope to see in yourself. My therapeutic orientation is diverse as each client is unique, with a strong cognitive-behavioral therapy base. Whether you are seeking counseling for individual, family, marriage or career related reasons, it is vital to allow the release of burdens, resolve conflicts or heal from present / past pain in order to obtain the reality you desire for yourself.

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.
