Finding the right therapist can feel like one more item on an already overwhelming list. Gate Healing simplifies the process: one experienced therapist, a range of specialties, and flexible virtual sessions available across Texas.

I have over 25 years of experience working with individuals, couples, families, and teens. Solution-Focused Therapy is the foundation of my clinical work, developed through direct training and live clinical supervision under Solution-Focused co-founder Insoo Kim Berg, common factors and therapeutic alliance researcher Scott Miller, PhD, and client-directed therapy leader Barry Duncan, PsyD.

Individual Counseling

Whether it’s anxiety, depression, a life transition, or just a sense that something isn’t working, individual counseling gives you space to figure it out. Sessions are direct, collaborative, and focused on what actually matters to you. Learn more about individual counseling.

Couples Counseling

Good relationships take work, and that work gets harder when communication breaks down. As a Gottman Level II trained therapist, I help couples break destructive patterns, rebuild trust, and develop the skills that make conflict productive instead of painful. Learn more about couples counseling.

Family Counseling & Parenting

Family conflict doesn’t mean your family is broken. Counseling helps parents, teens, and adult children improve communication, establish boundaries, and navigate the challenges of blended families, co-parenting, and generational tension. Learn more about family counseling.

Teen Counseling

Adolescence is complicated even when everything is going well. When it’s not, when anxiety, social pressure, identity questions, or family conflict are making things harder, a therapist who understands the teenage brain can help. Learn more about teen counseling.

Anxiety Counseling

If anxiety is running the show, keeping you awake, making decisions feel impossible, or shrinking your world, therapy can help you retrain the way your brain responds to uncertainty and threat. Learn more about anxiety counseling.

Depression Counseling

Depression doesn’t always look like sadness. Sometimes it looks like exhaustion, withdrawal, numbness, or just going through the motions. Therapy helps you understand what’s driving it and build a path out. Learn more about depression counseling.

Grief Counseling

Loss doesn’t follow a schedule or a set of stages. Grief counseling provides a space to process what you’re going through without pressure to “move on” before you’re ready. Learn more about grief counseling.

Crisis Counseling & PTSD

Trauma reshapes how you experience the world. Crisis and PTSD counseling helps you process difficult experiences, rebuild safety, and move forward without being controlled by what happened. Learn more about crisis and PTSD counseling.

Stress Management

I work with a lot of Texas professionals who are good at their jobs and who put everyone else first. Stress management counseling goes beyond coping strategies to address the patterns and beliefs that keep the stress cycle running. Learn more about stress management.

Personal Development

Not everyone starts therapy in crisis. Personal development counseling is for people who want deeper self-awareness, clarity, and intentional living, including high achievers and professionals in transition. If you’ve handled the basics and want to go further, this is that work. Learn more about personal development.

Work-Life Balance

If your identity, income, and sense of worth are all tangled up with productivity, “just work less” isn’t helpful advice. Work-life balance counseling addresses the beliefs and patterns behind the imbalance, not just the schedule. Learn more about work-life balance counseling.

Life Transitions

Career changes, divorce, retirement, relocation, empty nest, loss of identity: life transitions can unsettle even the most grounded people. Counseling helps you navigate change without losing yourself in the process. Learn more about life transitions counseling.

Therapy for High Achievers

Success and suffering aren’t mutually exclusive. If you’re performing at a high level but paying for it with your health, your relationships, or your sense of purpose, therapy can help you find a more sustainable way to operate. Learn more about therapy for high achievers.

Virtual Therapy Across Texas

All services are available via HIPAA-compliant video and telephone sessions to anyone in Texas. Whether you’re in Austin, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, or a rural community, you can access experienced, licensed therapy from wherever you are. Learn more about online therapy in Texas.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: Start with what's bothering you most. If it's a relationship issue, couples or family counseling is usually the best starting point. If it's personal (anxiety, depression, stress, a life transition), individual counseling is the way to go. If you're not sure, schedule a consultation and we'll figure it out together.
A: I am an out-of-network provider. I don't bill insurance directly, but I provide superbills that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Many PPO plans cover a significant portion of out-of-network mental health services. Call your insurance and ask about your out-of-network outpatient mental health benefits.
A: Sessions are $200 for both individual and couples counseling. Sessions are 45 minutes. Double sessions (90 minutes) are available if needed.
A: Yes. All sessions are conducted via secure, HIPAA-compliant video or telephone.
A: You can schedule through the contact form on this site or call (512) 771-7621. We'll start with a brief conversation to make sure I'm a good fit for what you're looking for.
A: The first session is a conversation. I'll ask about what brought you in, what you've tried before, and what you're hoping to get out of therapy. There's no pressure to share more than you're comfortable with. By the end, we'll have a sense of direction and whether we're a good fit. Learn more about what to expect.
