Therapists for college students near Houston, TX
I was drawn to becoming a therapist because of my own struggles and remain passionate about the work because of the growth I have the honor of co-creating and witnessing in others as a wounded healer. I work with clients navigating trauma, BPD, anxiety/phobias, OCD, and LGBTQ issues. My approach is compassionate and empowering, giving you the skills you need to create safety in your body, treat yourself with compassion, heal the roots of your pain, and move towards a vital, fulfilling life, taking committed action toward whatever is most important to you. I am trained in ACT, ERP, trauma therapy, and yoga therapy. I also have a decade of experience in DBT. In the intake process, I will ask questions about your history, challenges, strengths, and goals. I will also complete a few assessments based on your presenting issues to get a baseline for your symptoms, so that we can regularly track your progress. I understand the courage it takes to ask for help when life gets hard. My commitment is to provide a safe, accepting space for you to show up authentically & to help you actively apply what you gain from sessions into the rest of your life. I can't promise this will be easy, but it will be so worth it.

I earned my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The University of Texas at San Antonio in 2018 and am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults experiencing depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I also have experience working with individuals experiencing psychosis and other serious mental health conditions. I know that reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, and I strive to create a welcoming, respectful environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves. Whether you're navigating a difficult life transition, recovering from trauma, struggling with anxiety or depression, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to meet you where you are and support you in moving toward meaningful change. I believe every person has unique strengths and experiences, which is why I take time to understand your story and tailor treatment to your individual needs. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to build a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Healing starts with one step. I help children, adolescents, adults, older adults, and perinatal individuals go from feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or stuck to feeling more balanced, confident, and in control of their mental health without relying on one size fits all treatment or struggling alone.

For Students Wrestling with Identity College is supposed to be where you figure out who you are—but that’s not always easy. Maybe your family, culture, or faith told you one version of who you should be, and it doesn’t match how you actually feel inside.

Together, we’ll make space for your questions, doubts, and discoveries without judgment. Therapy isn’t about fitting into a box—it’s about helping you feel sturdy in who you are, even when it feels messy or uncertain. If you’re ready for a place where all of you is welcome, reach out today. Let’s start with a conversation about what you’re carrying and what you hope to find.

You may feel disconnected from yourself—questioning your worth, your decisions, or your place in relationships. Perhaps your inner dialogue is critical, self-doubt feels persistent, or you find yourself repeating the same unhelpful relationship patterns. As an individual or as a couple, you want more than symptom relief. You want clarity, confidence, and healthier ways of relating—to yourself and to each other. You’re looking for a space to slow down, make sense of what’s weighing on you, and begin showing up differently in your life and relationships. I take a trauma-informed, integrative approach tailored to your needs. I believe insight fosters understanding, clarity, and awareness—and once awareness is present, change becomes a choice. Together, we’ll explore the thought patterns and relational dynamics shaping how you see yourself and show up in your relationships. Depending on your goals, we may explore how past experiences affect the present or focus on practical strategies for current challenges. I work with individuals and couples facing self-esteem concerns, identity struggles, unhelpful thinking patterns, relationship stress, burnout, and life transitions.
Clients that I see in my practice are frequently struggling with life transition, academic stress, family concerns, and issues in their interpersonal relationships, all while trying to succeed as students.
