Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Lubbock, TX


I believe in the strength and grit that brought you here—and I trust that the same inner resources that carried you here can help you build the life you truly want. I work with emerging adults and motivated seekers who’ve read the books, followed the advice, and tried to fix it all, yet still feel something is missing. You don’t need another voice telling you what to do—you need someone who can help you hear your own. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong.” It’s about uncovering what’s been hidden, reconnecting with your inner resources, and moving forward with clarity and confidence.

I’m a licensed therapist with over 20 years of experience specializing in helping women overcome anxiety, fear-based thinking, and perfectionism. I utilize evidence-based CBT grounded in a Biblical worldview, focusing on real change—not temporary relief.

I’ve supported women through life transitions, identity struggles, relationship stress, and the emotional patterns that keep them stuck. My style is warm, direct, and deeply collaborative. Clients often tell me they feel seen, supported, and challenged in the best way.

I’m committed to helping women build emotional clarity, healthier patterns of thinking, and a life rooted in peace, truth, and personal responsibility.

Seeking support can feel overwhelming, and I know that starting therapy is not always easy. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and never judged. I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can take a breath, be yourself, and talk openly about what you are carrying.

I’m passionate about helping people work through life’s challenges with compassion and practical support. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, life transitions, low self-esteem, or feeling emotionally stuck, I strive to meet you where you are. I want patients to feel heard, supported, and empowered as they move toward healing and growth.

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.
