Challenges can reveal various characteristics in individuals that can be conveyed through depression, anxiety, avoidance, loneliness, mistrust and oftentimes a sense of hopelessness; whether individually or within a relationship, these feelings are real. Please know you are not alone. This thing we call life can be as exhausting as it can be beautiful.

I have a passion for walking alongside individuals or couples as they identify the speed bumps in their life, discover any fractures that need repair, and repave the road for a smoother journey. For some, acknowledging there is a speed bump can be the most difficult step. You may not be able to readily identify the speed bump or how it appeared; you simply determine unfamiliar feelings now exist where familiarity once resided. Life stressors, communication concerns, phase of life transitions, or relationship challenges are all obstacles that in time if not addressed, can result in a life of discord.

I was born and raised mostly in Houston, Texas but have lived in several states throughout my life. While I enjoyed the new locations and beginnings, there was always a period of adaptation to each new environment. I was blessed to be raised understanding the importance of maintaining focus on the future and despite life’s challenges and loss, to continue moving forward with a hopeful mindset.

I earned my BS in Interdisciplinary Studies from The University of Houston and my Masters from Dallas Baptist University in School Counseling where I continued my education to earn my license in Professional Counseling. I currently work as a High School Counselor during the day and offer sessions in the evenings focusing on individuals, couples, and Christian faith-based counseling for clients age 20 and older.

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 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.
