LGBT therapists in Lufkin, TX

Adults across the lifespan come to my practice navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, work stress, relationship challenges, and questions of identity or cultural belonging. Many are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain internally. I also specialize in working with immigrants and individuals exploring multicultural identity. Together, we create a space to slow down, make sense of emotional experiences, understand patterns that may be keeping them stuck, and build resilience and clarity for what comes next.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, and cultural identity exploration. My work integrates CBT, mindfulness, person-centered therapy, and family systems theory, grounded in cultural humility. I help clients build insight, coping skills, and meaningful, lasting change.

You don’t have to carry everything alone. Therapy is a space where you can feel seen, understood, and supported without judgment. Together, we can explore what feels heavy, uncover deeper patterns, and move toward greater clarity and ease. If you’re ready for change, I invite you to take that next step toward yourself.

I am a licensed professional counselor in Texas with over 30 years of experience working with children, tweens, teens, and families. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals and families as they build stronger connections and foster lasting change through evidence-based approaches.

My work is grounded in proven modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Attachment Theory, and Self-Compassion, among others. I tailor each approach to meet the unique needs of the people I work with, always with the goal of creating meaningful and transformative outcomes.

It is an honor to walk alongside individuals and families on their healing journey—and to witness the power of connection in action.

I have a passion for helping others to help

themselves. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social

My goal as a Psychologist and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist is to create a safe, affirming and collaborative space for individuals to explore the complexities of life. Therapy can be a daunting experience; therefore, I like to meet people where they are at in their therapy journey.

Therapy is self-care. I want my client's therapeutic experience to be the best one possible as I know they are using the small amount of time they have to work on themselves. I am the therapist I would want for myself. I am collaborative, knowledgeable, I help simplify the complicated, put words to experiences, feelings, and thoughts, and guide clients in what to do with their findings. I am the therapist you do "the work" with.
