Find a licensed online therapist in Whitesboro, TX

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.
