Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Friendswood, TX

Hello, I’m glad you’re here. If you’ve found your way to this page, chances are you’ve been carrying a lot maybe quietly, maybe for a long time. You might be exhausted from holding it all together or used to pushing through even when it feels heavy inside. Therapy BLIS was created for moments like this, for people who are doing their best but know they can’t keep doing it all alone. This is a space where you don’t have to explain away your pain or minimize what you’re feeling. You get to be seen, supported, and understood exactly where you are.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Texas, I am passionate about supporting women through life’s challenges, particularly those navigating substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. My experience spans working with individuals in intensive outpatient settings, as well as providing individual therapy for clients who have completed such programs or have learned about my work through community referrals. I understand how important it is to tailor care to each person’s unique goals and circumstances, and I am committed to creating a welcoming, nonjudgmental space for healing and growth.

Do you worry your child or teen is struggling with anxiety, trauma, or behavior challenges at home or at school? Are you unsure how to support them, help them cope, or guide them through stress? Today’s children and teens face academic pressures, social challenges, and family expectations that can feel overwhelming. Parents often feel unsure if they’re doing enough or how to best support their child. At SAPANS, our mission is clear: “Let us help you understand your child.”

Volunteering has been vital to me since my teenage years; therefore, it was fitting that I choose therapy as my career. After completing a master's in counseling, I volunteered at Catholic Charities (Houston) to complete my hours for the license. In addition to CBT, DBT, and CPT, I have also added EMDR, among others, to complement my experience and desire for growth.

I am a licensed mental health professional who works with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, and the emotional impact of difficult experiences. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood as they work through life’s challenges.

I believe therapy is most effective when it is a collaborative process. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I take the time to understand each person’s unique experiences, strengths, and goals. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about what comes next. Together, we explore those challenges, build insight, and identify practical steps toward meaningful change.

I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, and deep respect for each person’s story. My hope is that clients leave each session feeling more grounded, empowered, and confident in their ability to navigate life’s challenges and move forward with greater clarity.

I am a down to earth and warm therapist with 20 years of experience. I live and work in a rich Hispanic and military connected community. I believe that mental health and handling our emotions effectively is a key to success and positive growth/relationships. During my experience, I have focused from children to adults, who are struggling with handling emotions, anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and focus. Today, by stepping into counseling is a great step for positive growth and change!!

I have a passion for helping people navigate life's challenges. Seeking help can feel like a big step, but it's also a powerful one. I offer a collaborative and nonjudgemental space for discovering strengths and with helping you feel empowered.

I provide Christian faith-based counseling in a safe, warm, accepting, and inclusive environment. I am a dedicated Licensed Professional Counselor with individual and group counseling experience working with both children and adults with various diagnoses, such as Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Serious Emotional Disturbances, Developmental Disabilities, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Substance Abuse Disorders, etc. My experience also includes working with people experiencing homelessness; survivors of human trafficking, prostitution, domestic violence, and natural disasters.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience, dedicated to helping individuals find balance, clarity, and confidence in their lives. I primarily work with women who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or stuck in cycles that no longer serve them—whether in relationships, career, or how they view themselves. Many of my clients are navigating the emotional impact of life transitions like menopause, body changes, and weight management, often in silence and without support.

As a trilingual Licensed Professional Counselor (Portuguese, Spanish, English), I offer a compassionate and culturally sensitive space. I understand how culture, language, and generational expectations can shape the way we experience mental health, body image, and self-worth.
