Find a therapist in Texas — covered by insurance

Hi, I'm Emily, I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, perfectionism, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, relationship concerns, and feelings of being overwhelmed or stuck. I also work with couples who are looking to improve communication, rebuild trust after infidelity or betrayal, strengthen emotional connection, or prepare for marriage.

My goal is to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and accepted without judgment. I believe therapy should feel collaborative and personalized, not one-size-fits-all. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or simply feeling disconnected from yourself or others, I'm here to help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Therapy doesn't have to be intimidating-it's simply a space to talk, reflect, and grow. If you're ready to start that process, I'm here to help you take the next step. I work with adults and adolescents facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, end of life, and relationship issues.

I received my master's degree in social work from Louisiana State University, and I am clinically licensed to practice in Louisiana and Texas. I am an Advanced Certified Hospice and Palliative Social Worker with an extensive background in medical social work. I also, have inpatient adult psychiatric experience. Currently, I provide therapeutic interventions to adolescents in a high school-based health center.

I utilize practical, evidence-based tools like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), problem solving/solution-focused techniques, and strength-based approaches to help manage negative symptoms.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with 28 years experience, I work with a variety of individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures tailoring therapy to align with your unique goals and experiences. My approach is nonjudgemental and compassionate while offering treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, stress and work/life balance, goal setting and life transitions. Currently, I have shifted my main focus to working with individuals aged 30 and older.

As a board-certified Licensed Practice Counselor, I have experience leading clients through anxiety, depression, neurodivergent disorders (ADHD and ASD), and emotional regulation. I specialize in addressing cognitive behavioral issues. I am fully committed to listening and offering my best professional practices to help you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who welcomes clients ages 14 and older. I am a mother and retired Army veteran who served in military intelligence as a Chinese Cryptologic Linguist.

My work as a forensic interviewer for children who experienced abuse and neglect strengthened my ability to sit with difficult stories and provide safe, trauma-informed care. My lived experiences with trauma, abuse, and autoimmune illness have also shaped my understanding of the mind-body connection.

I believe in the principles that I share and use them in my own life to bring joy and rejuvenation. I have a deep commitment to mindfulness, embracing each moment with presence and gratitude. I want to help you find your own place of peace and a direction that leads you to wake up each day with a sense of hope and belonging. I also have a special certification to work with first responders, as they have very unique and specific individual and family dynamics.

Why We’ll Work Well Together

• Starting therapy is an act of courage, and I’m genuinely proud of you for taking that first step. As a woman of color, I deeply understand the importance of having a therapist who sees and holds space for your full identity and truth.
• Whether you’re feeling stuck in relationships, emotions, or within yourself, we’ll gently explore what’s holding you back, strengthen your boundaries, and help you move from surviving to truly living.
• Your healing journey won’t be one-size-fits-all because you’re not. Together, we’ll create a path that honors your story, your pace, and your goals.
• My style is relational, collaborative, and grounded in deep respect for your lived experience. You already hold so much wisdom; I’m here to help you reconnect with it.

If this resonates, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

I offer a warm, relaxed space where you can be yourself, no pressure, and no judgment. Together we will make sense of what's been feeling hard and find practical ways to help you feel more like yourself again. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, supported, and maybe even share a laugh along the way.

Starting this journey—whether it feels overwhelming, hopeful, or somewhere in between—takes courage, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-worth, and the lasting impact of early family dynamics.
