In life’s unpredictable journey, we all encounter moments of feeling stuck, alone, and out of control. As a counselor, my goal is to walk beside you and cultivate a genuine alliance where growth can occur. Together, we’ll co-create a sanctuary where you can openly navigate the challenges of life and heal from the wounds that have left you feeling broken. In this space of acceptance, we can shed the weight of judgment and explore the depths of your experiences, allowing for empowering choices that propel you forward. Beyond the pain lies a realm of hope and profound peace. Let’s embark on a journey toward the flourishing person you are meant to become.

Life is a journey. As you travel, you somethings stumble and fall. You lose
motivation to get up and keep on Traveling. Or you might feel like you are
wandering without a direction and feel lost.

Ann Marie Denson | Houston

Waves are beautiful and complex—some are big and and break with a roar, some are unknown while the current stirs beneath the surface, and some linger as ripples seemingly forever. Much like waves, our stories have layers. 

Elizabeth Wilmot | Houston

LPC

To be fully known and deeply loved is something we all desire; however, our deepest desires are often also our deepest fears. It’s scary to face the possibility of rejection, shame, or pain from others let alone admitting there is a fear in being vulnerable. In my role as your therapist, I would love to step into that space with you to allow you to understand who you are by unpacking your identity and purpose.

Joanna Lunin | Houston

LPC-Associate

One of the amazing aspects of being human, is our ability to create meaning. As we go about our lives, we write a story, connecting the dots of our lives experiences.

Hannah Jackman | Houston

LPC-Associate

Hardships and suffering are expected in life but enduring them alone is not. It would be a privilege to walk alongside you as we navigate life’s uncertainties. My goal is to help you find the strength within yourself to overcome adversity.

Kathleen Smith | Houston

LPC

Do you feel stuck in old ways of thinking? Overwhelmed in your mind and not sure how to break free? In your past, you may have had to be the one to ‘push through’ difficult situations, even in childhood. You may have had to grow up fast, ‘be self-sufficient’ as a child, or be a ‘parent’ to your own parents or siblings

Wayne Edwards | Houston

LPC-Associate

Each one of us is unique and has an important place in this life. Our thoughts, feelings,
and behaviors are all profoundly connected. Awareness is a crucial part in the healing process. My goal is to walk collaboratively with you without judgment and assist you with gaining insight into current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. With this in mind, the hope for optimal mental, emotional, and behavioral functioning is attainable. 

Josh Berger | Houston

Life is full of storms. The ebbs and flows they bring can leave you feeling pulled
under by the currents of your circumstance. My role as a counselor is a
grounding one: to equip and enable you to find peace amidst the chaos. Together we pursue truth and beauty and lasting freedom.

Jeff Brown | Houston

LPC-Supervisor

I am equipped with the knowledge and skills to guide you through the process of understanding your circumstances and establishing a clear path towards overcoming obstacles and fostering your personal growth.

Megan Townson | Houston

LPC-Associate

Life is a journey with peaks and valleys, unexpected twists and turns, and sometimes with what seems like no path forward at all.  We can find ourselves feeling lost, confused, broken, and powerless to find our way and move forward. 

Todd Parish | Houston

LPC, Director of Therapy

We all get lost sometimes. The unforeseen bend in the road can leave us feeling uncertain and alone. My role as a counselor is to come alongside you as a fellow traveler—to create a safe place for you to explore, find healing and become the flourishing person you are meant to be.
