Being human is hard enough. Finding a therapist doesn't have to be. I'm Ruby, and I bring humor, honesty, and genuine connection.

About

Hi, I'm Ruby! If you're overwhelmed and looking for someone you can open up to without feeling judged, you've found the right place. I bring humor, honesty, and genuine connection to every session. I don't do the blank-stare therapist thing. I pride myself on being myself, and I want to make you feel as comfortable as possible.

I work with clients who tend to overthink everything, chronically people-please, worry they are 'too much,' feel like they have to be 'the fixer,' carry weight that was never theirs to hold, or never got to be the kid. If any of that sounds familiar, I'd love to connect.

In our work together, we'll blend practical tools with an existential perspective to help you navigate trauma, anxiety, or mood challenges like bipolar disorder. We'll start by honoring the protective armor that kept you alive, then work on a soft landing for your inner child. Survival mode isn't meant to be a forever home. You get to evolve.

I started my career working in inpatient hospitals, which gave me experience with severe mental illness. Now in private practice, I help people cope with life transitions, life struggles, and, well, anything life-related. I see clients virtually across Texas and in person in Conroe, TX.
