I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and respected. My work is grounded in attachment-based and humanistic approaches, meaning I focus on understanding your relationships, emotional experiences, and inner strengths. I believe healing happens through genuine connection and collaboration, not through labels and judgement. Together we work at your pace to build insight, resilience, and lasting change.

If you're a man who wants to understand himself better and actually change the patterns keeping you stuck — not just talk about them — that's the work I do. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than five years of clinical experience supporting men through depression, anxiety, mood disorders, personality disorders, and addiction. While newly licensed in Texas, I bring substantial hands-on experience across private practices, clinics, and school-based settings. I believe therapy should give you more than insight: it should give you tools you can actually use.

Hi there! I'm glad you found your way here.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just plain exhausted, you are not alone. A lot of the

people I work with describe a similar experience: on the surface, life looks manageable, but

internally, it is a different story. Thoughts that won't quiet down, energy that's hard to find, or

stress from past experiences that never quite resolved themselves.

You don't have to keep carrying that on your own.

I work with patients navigating a wide range of mental challenges, from anxiety, ADHD,

depression, and mood disorders to trauma, life transitions, burnout, and beyond. My goal is

straightforward: to help you feel more like yourself again, and more in control of your day-to-day life.

Life can feel overwhelming when stress, difficult experiences, relationship challenges, or emotional struggles begin affecting your ability to function the way you want to. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, family conflict, parenting concerns, or the impact of past experiences, you don't have to face it alone. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families who are looking for support, healing, and practical tools to create meaningful change. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling exhausted, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward after years of trying to manage everything on their own. My goal is to provide a supportive, affirming environment where you feel understood and empowered. Together, we'll identify what's contributing to your challenges, build on your strengths, and work toward healthier relationships, improved coping skills, and a more balanced life.

If you're carrying wounds from a faith community that no longer feels safe, working through tension in your family, or managing anxiety that quietly shapes your days, you're not alone. I work with individuals, couples, and families in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and I bring a trauma-informed lens to everything we do together. Whether your struggles are rooted in religious trauma, identity questions, or family stress that's built up over years, my goal is for you to feel genuinely understood — not just assessed.

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.
