Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Hi, I'm glad you're here! I’m a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and life transitions. I offer a collaborative, supportive space where individuals feel understood and empowered to create meaningful change.

My background includes work in high-acuity settings such as correctional facilities, inpatient psychiatric units, and hospital-based outpatient care. At the Harris County Jail in Houston, Texas, I developed reentry-focused assessment tools to improve continuity of care between the court and medical systems.

I’ve been part of a team that built programs from the ground up, including a home visitation program for mothers, now offered through telehealth in both virtual and hybrid formats. I use structured therapeutic tools to help individuals actively engage in treatment.

I have a focused interest in depression, anxiety, grief, and women’s mental health, including pregnancy and postpartum. I offer telehealth sessions across Texas, with insurance and private pay options available.

Life can shift unexpectedly-and when it does, the stress, trauma, or emotional pain can leave you feeling lost,

isolated, or overwhelmed. Whether you're healing from abuse, facing a major transition, navigating

relationship stress, or coping with anxiety or depression, therapy can offer a path toward clarity, peace, and

renewal. You're not alone.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Austin

Finding a postpartum therapist in Austin starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety are among the most common concerns, but perinatal mental health care also covers mood changes during pregnancy, difficulty bonding, intrusive thoughts, and adjustment to parenthood. A licensed provider — such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — with experience in perinatal mental health can help you determine the right approach, whether that includes talk therapy, medication management, or both.

Austin has a strong network of postpartum mental health providers practicing across the city, from North Austin and Cedar Park to South Austin and the surrounding metro area. When narrowing your options, consider whether you prefer virtual or in-person sessions, what therapy approach feels right for you, and whether a provider's availability fits your schedule. Reading a provider's bio before booking can give you a sense of their style and areas of focus.

Therapy in Austin can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit — making it easier to find a postpartum therapist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
