Awakening Mental Health offers online mental health counseling for Individuals and Couples. We offer high-quality Telehealth sessions at a low cost (typically less than an insurance copay) to assist in easing access to mental healthcare to those in need.  

Everyone deserves to become the person they want to be and experience life to its fullest. Amidst the chaos or trauma that life throws your way, reaching out for help can be difficult yet it shows courage and determination. You are not alone as everyone faces obstacles in life that can prove to be overpowering and frustrating. Many times these challenges arise due to unmet needs and unfinished business. I work with young children and adolescents using my expertise from a 15+yrs career in education. In addition, I work with adults, couples and families that struggle with a variety of trials and trauma.  

Seeking relief from anxiety, depression, or trauma? Do you need someone to talk to who can listen and help you sort through current stressors?

My online practice is all about providing a warm and supportive space for people to explore their thoughts and feelings from the comfort of their own homes. Whether navigating stress, relationship challenges, or feeling lost, I'm here to lend an ear and offer guidance. I strive to create a connection that feels as genuine and helpful as an in-person visit through video sessions. The goal is always to help clients feel heard, understood, and equipped with the tools to navigate life's ups and downs.

With technology, you can experience all the benefits of in-person therapy on secure, easy-to-use, high-quality internet platforms. Online sessions allow you to do therapy in the comfort of your own home or allow you flexibility in environments that best suit you. It can be especially helpful to those who find it challenging to travel to an office for appointments due to location, work, children at home, lifestyle, or other practical or personal reasons. While there are multiple ways that counseling can take place online, I work primarily with face-to-face video conferencing via Zoom and, on occasion, telephone sessions. I always hold my sessions in a quiet and confidential space, giving you the same confidentiality & professionalism that you experience within an office setting. Most, if not all, of my clients, find virtual sessions to be highly effective and convenient. They allow for the comfort and safety of therapy in your own space, and no travel time is often less vulnerable than needing to go to an office. Research of multiple studies finds that online therapy is equally effective as in-person for most cases. That being said I always advocate for what works best for each individual and it is wonderful to have choices to find your best path whichever that may be. If you are not super-computer savvy or are anxious about how to use technology, I will work to make it as seamless as possible. I have chosen a platform that is easy to use and I am happy to assist you with any questions or concerns. A common concern I hear from clients regarding online therapy is finding a quiet and/or confidential space when you’re homebound with children and/or family members or roommates. Be sure and scope this out in advance so you are guaranteed quiet and privacy during your session. Since it is so convenient many times people forget to allow themselves a few minutes to "switch hats" and allow themselves a few breaths and get settled into being present and in the head/body space for your session. Headphones or Airpods can often make audio clearer or ensure more privacy but are not necessary. Given that video sessions can be conducted on your smartphone, clients have found it helpful to go to a park, sit in their car in the driveway, and/or walk around your neighborhood. Get creative and support yourself. Find a private space that allows you to receive support no matter where you are. You are welcome to have pets join your space if you find that comforting, and supporting, and you may see my fellow feline/canine therapists join in one of our sessions on my end.  

Online Therapy is way for me to meet the needs of my clients in this ever changing and fast paced world. It's as simple as using your smartphone, computer or laptop with a shared link to enable video, or other electronic devices. Online Therapy makes it easier and more convenient for clients to stay healthy and engaged in their mental health. Patients love the convenience, flexibility and real-time care.  

I can bring therapy to you with flexible scheduling including evenings and weekends. How great is it to be able to access therapy from the comfort of your own sofa, with a cup of coffee and slippers? Confidential, Comfort, & Convenient. ***FREE 15 minute consultation  

As a therapist, I aim to use my extensive training, experience, and resources to help you experience hope and healing in your life. I have found online therapy to be highly effective for most adults and some older teenagers. I have the privilege of regularly seeing tremendous results with my clients. I have personally experienced the destructive nature that mental health and unhealthy relational patterns can have on people and families. As a result, my personal goal is to show that families and the people in them matter and to help them find the hope, healing, and growth needed to reach their fullest potential. I look forward to meeting you and working with you soon.  

We provide online therapy for adults. Sessions are 45 minutes and can be accessed via computer, tablet or phone. All paperwork and requirements can be completed all online.  

I am seeing clients both in-person in Cypress, TX and online via Therapy Notes Portal and Google Meet. I have found that many clients will prefer to continue in telehealth counseling because of the ease and security of the process.  

Virtual therapy is a lot like coming to an office - except you can conveniently attend sessions from anywhere. The accessibility of virtual therapy helps you stay on track and not miss appointments.
