Therapists in Texas

Life can feel heavy at times, but even in those hard seasons, healing and change are possible. I help teens and adults to work through anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar, and major life transitions. Whether you’re a teen navigating the ups and downs of growing up, an adult carrying the weight of past experiences, or a parent worried about your child, you don’t have to go through it alone. Together, we’ll uncover your strengths, build healthier coping skills, and find clarity in the chaos. In our sessions, you’ll learn practical tools to manage tough emotions while also gaining the confidence to live with more peace and authenticity. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are. My approach draws from CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care, and I tailor each session to your unique needs and goals. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about helping you rediscover your resilience and create a life filled with purpose, peace, and authenticity. If you’re ready to take that next step, I’d love to walk alongside you. Reach out today by phone or email, and let’s begin this journey together.

My path to becoming a therapist is deeply personal. Over the years, I have experienced grief, loss, divorce, trauma, abuse, and major life transitions in my own journey. These experiences not only shaped my understanding of suffering but also deepened my heart for walking with others who find themselves in painful or uncertain seasons. I know firsthand how overwhelming life can feel, and I also see the hope and restoration that can come through faith, healing, and connection. In addition to my personal journey, I have spent many years as a social worker in the hospice field, supporting individuals and families through end-of-life care, loss, and the grieving process. These experiences deepened my calling to create a safe and compassionate space for people in their most vulnerable moments. They also strengthened my belief that healing is possible even in seasons of sorrow, especially when we lean on faith and community. Today, as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in supporting individuals through grief, loss, trauma, relationship struggles, and life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and faith-centered—grounded in the belief that every person is created in God’s image and deeply loved by Him. At Connect & Restore Therapy, I blend evidence-based practices with Christian values, offering a safe space where you can process your story, rediscover your strength, and move forward with clarity and peace. It is my privilege to walk alongside you, not only as a therapist but also as someone who has walked through valleys and experienced God’s grace and renewal firsthand. Together, we can lean into hope and pursue the healing and restoration God desires for your life. As Scripture reminds us, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18).

I have over 25 years of experience helping teens and adults through anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and loss. Most clients already have everything that they need to overcome the obstacles that they encounter; they just need a little help developing and implementing a plan. I use an eclectic and trauma informed approach to meet clients where they are and guide them on their journey to becoming happier, healthier, and more satisfied with their lives.
