So much of my work is rooted in one question: what happens when we stop trusting ourselves? For me, that question became very personal.

After the birth of my first child, I found myself carrying not only physical pain but a deep sense of disconnection. I was listening to every voice but my own — questioning my body, my instincts, my inner wisdom. It was disorienting in a way I hadn't expected.

With my second child, something shifted. The experience felt empowering, attuned, and deeply mine. I listened inward. I trusted my body. And I witnessed firsthand just how intelligent and wise the body truly is when we feel safe enough to connect with it.

That journey brought me back to something foundational — the body knows. Our minds and bodies are constantly communicating with us. But life has a way of teaching us to override those signals. Trauma, stress, cultural conditioning, the pressure to hold it all together — they all teach us to ignore our inner knowing. Healing, I believe, is often about learning to listen again. It's a homecoming.

For the last 8 years, I've had the privilege of helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, family challenges, and the moments in life that leave you feeling stuck or disconnected from yourself. I also support concerns including grief, OCD, panic, ADHD, and identity. My work is grounded in the belief that healing involves the whole person—mind and body. I bring warmth, curiosity, compassion, and humor into therapy while helping you recognize your strengths and create meaningful change. As Brene Brown says, "You can choose courage, or you can choose comfort. You can't have both".

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.
