Hi! I am a psychologist licensed in Texas and California. I have worked in the mental health field in various capacities for the past 20 years. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology with a minor in Law and Society and Masters of Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, CA. I earned my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Howard University in Washington, DC. I have worked as a psychologist with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Veterans Health Administration and various local and federal law enforcement agencies. I currently own and operate Healthy Families Counseling Center, PLLC, a private psychology practice dedicated to assisting individuals, couples and families heal from trauma, relationship distress and other concerns affecting daily life.

I love helping women heal from traumatic childhood or relationship experiences. I also love working with adolescents to address anxiety and depressive symptoms while improving self-esteem. Finally, I enjoy helping couples and families improve communication and relationship dynamics.

I appreciate Dr. Ray because she does see both sides in our marriage and helps us both to be accountable for our actions. She also has a warm friendly vibe. It allows us to be open and transparent. I appreciate her sessions.

I really loved her personality and approach to this session, and getting me started with therapy. I feel like she was very authentic and warm and humorous, which made me feel more comfortable about sharing information about myself.

I just had my intake session and felt immediately at ease. She’s grounded, open-minded, and very direct in a supportive way. She stayed focused, assessed things quickly, and still kept the conversation light and warm. I really appreciate Dr. Ray’s energy and approach.
