You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or uncertain about how to move forward. Reaching out for support can feel difficult, but it is also a courageous first step toward healing and growth. I earned my Doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision from St. Mary’s University in San Antonio and my Master’s degree in Counseling from The University of Texas at San Antonio. I bring more than 18 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC). I work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, life transitions, motivation concerns, and substance use recovery. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and empowering. I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to help you build on your strengths, gain clarity, and create a more meaningful and fulfilling future. My professional experience extends beyond the counseling office and includes serving as an LPC mentor, graduate counseling student mentor, and adjunct professor. I have also held national leadership roles, collaborated with professionals in international corporate settings, and served as a Peace Corps (PC) volunteer in both Malawi and Mexico. These experiences have deepened my appreciation for diverse cultures, resilience, and the power of human connection. Outside of counseling, I enjoy hiking, biking, fencing, and studying literature and poetry. My training as a competitive fencer, including preparation for the 1996 Olympic Games, continues to shape my values of discipline, perseverance, and lifelong growth. Whether you are navigating a difficult season of life or seeking greater self-understanding, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you move toward healing, resilience, and lasting positive change.

Find a therapist near you in Godley, Texas

Finding a therapist near you in Godley, Texas starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Texas is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Texas, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Texas, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Texas

Online therapy and in-person therapy both connect you with a licensed professional, and the main difference is how you meet. In Texas, online therapy through BetterHelp lets you have sessions by phone, video, or in-app messaging, so you can meet from home or on a schedule that fits your life. In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows. Online therapy may be more accessible for people with busy schedules, limited transportation, or a preference for a more discreet setting. Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.

Finding a therapist that accepts insurance in Texas

BetterHelp accepts insurance through many major insurance plans. Insurance availability and coverage may vary by state, plan, provider network, and therapist availability, and deductible status. Eligible members' average copay is $23 per session.

If you prefer to pay without insurance, BetterHelp subscriptions range from $70 to $100 per week, billed as an alternative way to access the same care, and you can use HSA and FSA funds toward the cost.
