You may have found yourself in a cycle of anxiety, avoidance, and negative thinking. The ways in which we allow fear to dictate our next steps can be extremely limiting! Sometimes, it's our kids' anxiety and fears that are holding our family back. Communication difficulties with our partners or children about anxiety create stress in our most important and treasured relationships. There isn’t a one-way-fits-all best way to parent, live, or achieve success... But, with the right support you can learn new skills to transform your family and change your life. At Houston Anxiety and Wellness Center we put you and your family first.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in treating anxiety, perfectionism, OCD, and BFRBs. I am honored to partner and collaborate with individuals and families to provide life-changing care. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Exposure and Response Prevention and individualize every treatment plan based on the unique needs of each client.
I'm fully invested in my clients' progress and growth. The relationship I build with each client is of utmost importance to me. I approach clients with humor, compassion, and focus on connection. I am rooting for you and your family & look forward to teaching you skills that result in lasting, positive change. Schedule a free consult today!
