Hi, I’m Olivia — and I’m here to help you feel more like you again.

You might be holding it all together on the outside, but inside, it’s a different story:

• Constantly overwhelmed by school, work, or life choices
• Feeling like something’s missing, even when you “should” feel fine
• Stuck in patterns that leave you unfulfilled or disconnected
• Tired of trying to be who everyone else expects you to be

If this sounds familiar, you’re not broken — you’re just exhausted from carrying too much for too long!

I work with young adults and adults navigating anxiety, depression, substance use, grief, relationship struggles, trauma, and life transitions. Whether you’re questioning your path, overwhelmed by expectations, or feeling lost in your identity, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

In our work together, you’ll have a space to slow down, speak freely, and untangle the emotional weight you’ve been carrying. We’ll explore what’s working, what’s not, and what it might feel like to finally be seen and supported for who you really are.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in real-life tools you can use outside of therapy. We’ll build emotional resilience, self-trust, and strategies that help you feel grounded in your own life again — and we’ll do it at a pace that feels right for you.

A bit about me: I live in Victoria, Texas, and when I’m not in session, you’ll likely find me outside — walking my dog, horseback riding, or finding new trails to explore. I’m also a big fan of discovering hidden gem food spots wherever I go.

I have over 30 years of experience working with a variety of mental health issues with adolescents and adults. I love helping clients find clear direction, set healthy boundaries, and learn what healthy relationships are. One of my areas of focus is helping individuals who have experienced abuse or trauma in their lives get back to a place of health and wellness.

I received my BA in Psychology and my MA in Counseling Psychology from the University of Houston-Victoria. I have 11 years of experience providing counseling to people of all ages, backgrounds, religions, and ethnicities. I am a wife, a mother, and a Christian who views inclusion and equity of the utmost importance.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, insomnia, or post-traumatic symptoms? If so, I want to hear about it! Have you tried therapy before but didn’t connect with the therapist, felt uncomfortable, didn’t feel heard, or is this your first-time seeking therapy? If so, I want to help!

I graduated from the University of Houston-Victoria, I use a faith-based approach with a professional focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, specializing in ADHD therapy and ADHD coaching.

Life sometimes throws us curve balls. The stress of a divorce, domestic violence, or even general life stressors can leave us feeling lost and overwhelmed. I pride myself in helping clients navigate through their challenges in a way that is most comfortable to them.

I pride myself in allowing my clients to attend therapy that is judgement free, comfortable, and safe. I have experience in working with first responders, military, couples, and millennials! Life can be challenging and I am here to help guide you.

I'm passionate about helping individual adults and teens find their happiness and overcome current and past difficulties in their lives through faith-based counseling. As an eclectic therapist we will utilize multiple theories and techniques to personalize a treatment plan that caters to each and every client's individual and specific needs.
