Find a therapist in Texas — covered by insurance

Therapy is a journey that is not always the easiest to embark upon and just showing up is half the battle. As a therapist it’s my job to gently guide you through this process. Developing a therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of therapy. In the first few appointments, I will get to know you and the issues that you are facing. From there we will work together on your goals. I am laid back, and utilize a variety of treatment approaches depending on your needs. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the State of Texas. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Baylor University and my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. I have experience treating adults, young adults, adolescents, and families in various settings. I have worked in hospitals and the criminal justice system. I utilize psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches in working with my clients. I am EMDR trained and enjoy working with trauma and anxiety. I enjoy coffee, college sports, my dogs, travel, and collecting mechanical watches.

Growing up as part of a military family, I have lived on opposite sides of the United States, the Midwest, and even lived internationally during college. Now, as a wife and mother, as well as working professional, I can relate to the joys, challenges, and everything in between which life brings. These experiences have not only helped make me who I am today, but assist in my ability to provide an empathic approach and understanding in my clinical practice.

I have Master's in art therapy and training in trauma-conscious yoga. I have worked with children, teens, and adults from many walks of life, with a focus on at-risk teens, trauma, anxiety, griefwork, and chronic illness. It is my belief that healing can occur when all aspects of the self, mind, body, and heart are given space to be worked with together holistically.

Reaching out for support can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I believe healing begins when you feel truly seen, heard, and accepted. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where you can be yourself, explore what’s weighing on you, and discover your own strength. I work with teens, adults, women, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the stress that comes with everyday life. As a bilingual counselor fluent in English and Spanish, I also understand how culture, family expectations, and personal experiences can shape our emotional well-being. Together, we’ll build on your strengths, develop practical tools, and work toward the life you want to create—one step at a time.

With over 45 years experience, clients consider me to be caring, direct, and engaging. Many things including stress both effect and are connected to your mental and physical health. Self care is very important and that will be a focus. People have some degree of trauma whether large or small which is a primary area of practice and experience for me. I utilize many tools including mindfulness, Brainspotting , Art and EMDR. I consider myself to be both empathetic, inquisitive and Intuitive. I currently only work with adults.

I began my career in an inpatient psychiatric facility. I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of North Texas in 2005. I moved to California right after graduation to provide therapy in an under served county in Northern California. In 2010 I moved back to Texas in preparation of starting my own family and to be near my aging parents. I tailor my therapeutic approach based on the needs of my clients. I believe that people are more open when they don’t feel judged.

As a LPC I work to help people find meaning and purpose and to overcome the challenges in their lives. I have worked in the field for over 13 years. I earned my masters degree in counseling at Harding School of Theology in 2014. I have worked in community mental health in different capacities and have maintained a small private practice over the years. I have been trained in EMDR, DBT, and solution focused brief therapy. I integrate a range of perspectives as I work with each individual.
