I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals through some of life’s most challenging moments. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, addiction and substance use, psychosis, identity development, and everyday stressors. I am passionate about creating affirming, compassionate spaces where every person feels seen, valued, and understood. At the core of my work is a deep belief that everyone deserves care, dignity, and a place where they can show up exactly as they are. I am committed to helping people heal, grow, and advocate for their own well-being. Empowerment and compassion guide my approach, whether I’m supporting someone through acute crisis or helping them build long-term emotional resilience. I completed my Master’s degree in Counseling at the Houston Graduate School of Theology, along with a Master of Divinity. My background in ministry has strengthened my ability to support people through emotional, spiritual, and existential challenges. It has equipped me with the skills to offer steadiness, encouragement, and thoughtful guidance during difficult times while respecting each person’s unique identity, worldview, and lived experience. My therapeutic style is integrative, meaning I draw from several evidence-based approaches to best meet your individual needs. These include person-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and strengths-based therapy. In practice, this means sessions with me often feel warm, collaborative, and grounded. I honor your story, build on your strengths, and work with you to develop practical tools and new ways of thinking that support your healing and growth. Your first session is all about building comfort and connection. I encourage you to come as you are and treat this initial meeting as a chance for us to get to know each other. I’ll spend time learning what brings you to therapy—your concerns, your goals, and what you hope will be different in your life. At the same time, you’ll have the opportunity to get a feel for my style, ask questions, and decide whether I’m the right fit to support your healing. You can expect a relaxed, grounded, and welcoming atmosphere. There’s no pressure to share everything at once; you set the pace. I’ll listen closely, offer reflections, and provide honest, thoughtful feedback when you want it. My goal is to help you feel safe enough to be open and curious, and supported enough to begin exploring the path forward. By the end of the session, we’ll have a clearer sense of what working together might look like—whether that involves identifying immediate concerns, discussing coping strategies, or beginning to shape longer-term goals. Most of all, you can expect an environment centered on respect, transparency, and human connection. Opening up to someone you’ve never met can feel uncomfortable, even overwhelming. Many people struggle with the idea of sharing their most intimate thoughts, worries, or fears with a stranger. If you feel that hesitation, you’re not alone. This also doesn’t mean you’re not ready for therapy. It simply means you’re human. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are, with no pressure, no expectations, and no judgment. I believe that therapy works best when the space feels safe, honest, and genuinely supportive, and that’s the environment I strive to create for every client who sits with me. I am best positioned to serve individuals who want a therapist who is real, grounded, and transparent. I don’t hide behind clinical jargon or pretend to have all the answers. Instead, I show up authentically. I'm steady, compassionate, and ready to walk with you through whatever you’re facing. Whether you’re dealing with overwhelming stress, mood challenges, relationship difficulties, unhelpful thinking patterns, or simply feeling stuck, my job is to help you feel seen and supported as you work toward meaningful change. I work especially well with clients who are motivated to understand themselves at a deeper level and are open to learning new skills to navigate life’s challenges. You don’t need to have everything figured out. You don’t even need to know exactly what you want from therapy yet. Many people come to me unsure of where to start, and that’s perfectly okay. Together, we will explore what matters most to you, identify the obstacles in your path, and slowly build the tools necessary to move forward in healthier and more empowered ways. A big part of my approach involves helping you challenge thoughts and beliefs that may no longer be serving you. We all carry stories from our past—about who we are, what we deserve, and how the world works. Some of those stories are helpful; many are not. I will help you identify the thoughts that keep you stuck, gently question their accuracy, and learn new ways of thinking that support your growth and well-being. Along the way, you’ll also develop practical coping skills you can use in daily life, allowing you to manage emotions, stress, and conflict more effectively. Most importantly, therapy with me is a collaborative experience. You are the expert on your life; my role is to support, guide, and empower you. I bring honesty, curiosity, and compassion into the room so you can bring your full self—messy parts included. If you’re looking for a therapist who will honor your story, challenge you with care, and support your healing with authenticity and respect, I’m here to help you take the next step.

Hello, Thank you for looking into Betterhelp. If you are here, you might be feeling overwhelmed by life's current challenges. Well, you are not alone. Life can throw all of us curve balls from time to time. However, with courage, patience, and the right mindset and tools, I know change is possible and you can reveal your best self going forward. I have a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor from Texas. I have over 23 years of experience as a counselor primarily working with a diverse range of non-traditional college students dealing with stress, anxiety, procrastination, family/relationship issues, and career related concerns. Over the years of working in a college setting, I have come to appreciate the concerns that people have when embarking on something new, challenging, uncertain, and ambiguous. Do I belong here? Am I too old to go back to school? Am I too old to pursue this career? What if I fail? These are only a few of the many questions driven by fear and uncertainty that I hear. Another population of interest is working with early and mid-career professionals struggling with career related issues such as work stress, change, purpose, and leadership issues and work/life balance. Some of my modalities of therapy include a mixture of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Together, we will explore multiple visions of of the future and strategies to get there. We will explore your strengths, values, interests and how your behavior supports and aligns with each of these. Moreover, my style of counseling will always put you in the drivers seat in taking ownership and being ready to enact positive change. Finally, as a firm believer in life long learning, my hope for you is that you will come to understand that your current predicament is just another temporary setback and or opportunity for growth and change in your journey toward finding greater purpose, happiness and wellbeing.

I am a licensed professional counselor in Texas with over 30 years of experience working as a counselor in a variety of settings. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, grief, and adjusting to transitions in life. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I am trained in equine assisted psychotherapy (EAP) and while we will not have the luxury of having horses in the session, I can incorporate many of those principles in a telehealth session. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines trauma-informed, somatic, and attachment styles to promote growth and healing. I believe that we heal through reparative, relational experiences. I incorporate neurobiology in the sessions and discuss how the brain is affected when we experience trauma at an early age or later in life. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

I am a down-to-earth, easy to talk to counselor who has experienced a lot in my life. I relate well, am not judgmental about anything, and will give my all to help a client grow mentally. I have worked with kids and adults alike, for over 18 years, in a variety of areas. If I feel that I cannot help you, I am honest and will help you find someone who can. Counseling and mental health is a passion of mine, more than it is a job. I have been in private practice for over 3 years, but before that I counseled in a school setting for ages 8 to 19. I also counseled the adults in the school environment, and offered assistance where needed. I believe the brain is a powerful tool, and most people do not believe they are in control of it. I use a lot of Cognitive Therapy and EMDR Therapy (along with a few other types of counseling) to assist the clients in gaining that control back and living life to their fullest. I have experience in dealing with anxiety, depression, hopelessness, loneliness, grief, marriage, stress, career confusion, burnout, trauma, and so many more issues going on in the world today.

How does the cost of an in-person therapist compare to BetterHelp?
The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Ector due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:
- With a psychiatrist: $150-$500
- With therapists: $100-300
- With a clinician: $100

Is BetterHelp right for me?
One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide.

Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.
Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs.

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail.

A Ector licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.
Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a counselor can be dependent on your process.
People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles that a counselor can help with.

An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing.

Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
