As a therapist, I strive to create a space that feels safe, supportive, and full of hope. I believe that everyone has the ability to create change in their life — sometimes we just need the right tools and someone to walk beside us. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths and move forward with confidence and self-compassion
First off, Hello! I am an LCSW who has worked with individuals, couples, children, and adolescents. I've worked with a variety of clients from those who have been recently been in-patient, going through a life transition (i.e. divorce, grief, relocations), struggling with depression and/or anxiety, and who have experienced abuse and other traumas.
Choosing to be in counseling is an extraordinary act of self-discovery and self-love that I believe each person can benefit from.
One's mental health is equally as important as physical health. With this belief, I decided to devote my time in building my practice, Open Horizons. I'm a psychologist trained in clinical/forensic psychology. My training and experience have allowed me to develop clinical expertise in treatment modalities that are evidence based, such as CBT and ACT. I have extensive training in the assessment of psychological concerns including diagnostic clarification/personality functioning.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe placing mental health first is fundamental to achieving happiness and balance in life. Reaching out for support can be incredibly difficult, you deserve recognition for the real strength required to ask for help. I’ve been practicing since 2022, focusing on adults navigating life’s mental health struggles, with a concentration on grief, anxiety, self esteem, and relational issues.
I am a Clinical Social Worker, based in the Woodlands, Texas, specializing in working with adults and older adults facing grief, depression, and anxiety. I provide a calm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported I believe that healing happens at your own pace, and I am here to walk alongside you with care and respect.
I have a M.A. in Professional Counseling and a B.S. in Psychology. I've received training in EMDR and mindfulness. Over the last twelve years I’ve worked in the mental health field while in a variety of settings. Including a non-profit agency, university setting, drug & alcohol center, private practice, research lab, and psychiatric hospital. These settings showed how mental health impacts people with various backgrounds and identities.

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.
