Female Therapists in Houston, TX

I believe that individuals are unique; each possessing their OWN worldview, which, ultimately, would make you the expert of your own life. Sometimes in life, we need assistance in our journey towards the realization and fulfillment of our own talents and potentials: self-actualization. I assist my clients by enabling them to move towards openness, developing a greater trust in themselves, building the willingness to process, and increase self-realization. All while providing a non-judgmental environment where your personal life experiences are heard, and you are valued as the unique human being that you are.

Finding a therapist can be like shopping for shoes - sometimes it is hard to find the right fit, but when you find it, they help you to feel strong and supported. Life can present so many difficulties, and sometimes it is hard to find the tools to be our best self. If you or a family member are experiencing stress or anxiety, relationship troubles, want to change behaviors, or need help coping with difficult moods and emotions, I would be honored to join you in your journey for happiness and balance. I believe we all have unique strengths and capacity for change, and my goal is to help you to find what allows you to thrive!

Welcome to my Therapist BIO page. I am glad you are here! My number one priority as a Texas Licensed Professional Counselor is to help you meet your therapy goals!

Do you ever wake up in the morning and say to yourself, “I don’t think I can make it another day like this”? Maybe you feel like your anxiety is taking over your life and there’s no escape. Maybe you live with shame so crippling that it invades every aspect of your life. Or maybe you find yourself constantly running from your own emotions, memories, and thoughts, only to feel mentally and emotionally exhausted. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many people feel the exact same way you do, and all they want is to feel normal.

I believe that we, as humans, possess so many hidden strengths that can help us find the light in our lives again. Sometimes, we just need someone to help us see what we don’t see! I believe in working collaboratively with my clients to develop a personalized treatment plan that focuses on achievable goals and taking things one step at a time.
