Narrative Therapists in 77006

I may be a tad bit biased, but I believe therapy to be one of the most monumental and beneficial experiences a person can be a part of. Therapy creates a safe and warm environment for one to learn how to be compassionate towards their younger self, empower their current self, and also fight for their future self. Because of this, therapy has long-lasting impacts on your self-identity, interpersonal relationships, cultural aspects, professional endeavors, and most importantly, your ability to withstand adversity and grow through hardships.

We often feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck in cycles of dysfunction in our lives. We allow emotions to choose our day and give away our power to unhelpful thinking. Therapy offers us a safe place of refuge, validation, and hope apart from our uncertain circumstances. The therapist and client develop a mutually respectful and healthy relationship built from developed trust and compassion. Within this domain, my goal is to deepen your insight, self-awareness, and help you practice kindness accepting that which is truly you. Together we will consider healthy perspectives and identify patterns that perpetuate unhelpful cycles.

Are you experiencing the negative effects of trauma or transition in your life, work, and relationships? Have you received a difficult diagnosis, whether related to your mental or physical health? As a therapist, I work with couples and individuals alike who may be struggling to navigate particularly challenging periods, including those related to significant life changes and traumas. Working together, we can turn your pain into possibility. My role is to walk hand-in-hand with my clients throughout the counseling process to reduce the feelings of grief, worry, and confusion they grapple with.

Hello! Counseling is an incredibly intimate and vulnerable journey. I aim to create a secure space where you can be wholly authentic and share your narrative. Each person's experience is unique, and I am eager to collaborate with you to pursue your counseling goals. I am driven by a genuine passion for understanding people's stories and their aspirations for the future. How one frames one's life narrative holds significant sway over one's mental and emotional well-being.

I am dedicated to helping clients improve their lives and achieve self-transformation. This includes learning to cope, manage, overcome and transcend mental health issues. Building mindfulness and emotional awareness is key to understanding how our belief systems and emotions drive our decisions/behaviors. Our sessions will be fully engaged in building healthier thoughts, feelings, emotions, beliefs, values, perceptions, assumptions so that we can reshape our life narrative and see reality differently. Each individual is capable of healing psychological wounds, finding peace and balance, while being centered and present.

My foundation is based in the sacred history of women as healers and I am most comfortable "dancing" in that sacred space where mind, body, and spirit converge. I have extensive training in trauma-informed, spiritually-integrated therapy. Having an ear for “faith stories,” I provide a safe and inclusive space for doing deeper, spiritual work for those looking to heal generational trauma, transition from one phase of life to another, break unhealthy cycles, and transform challenges into spiritual stamina.

Your decision to start the journey of healing is a tremendous act of love turned inward. In individual counseling, I provide support and encouragement as you rewrite your story and work toward creating the life you want. In the couples therapy process, partners learn to improve communication, build intimacy, and solve conflict in a respectful way. All of my sessions are trauma sensitive and will be a safe space for repair.

I work well with individuals who are seeking change. Post-traumatic stress and anxiety can be debilitating. I offer trauma-informed therapy for individuals who desire post-traumatic growth. I will help re-develop a sense of hope through processing fears and diminishing the severity of the fight or flight response. Resilience can be strengthened by empowering the survivor with healthy self-management skills and improving self-worth. I am empathetic and goal-oriented.

HOPE is what initiates change. Imagine a life where your family was no longer defined by your child's trauma, fear, sadness, guilt, shame, or anger. What a freeing experience that would be! An individual can only be as happy as their least happy loved one- as hurt occurs within the context of relationships, so does healing. Hoping for a stable, safe, and happy family is what marks readiness for therapy. Little people with big problems may effortlessly grow into big people with bigger problems, so the critical nature of childhood and adolescence provides opportunity to shift this life trajectory.

Do you often question if your relationship is right for you? Or you often wonder if your partner is as into you as you are into them? You’re not sure if you should ask for reassurance again or start planning for ‘what if they leave me’? It's likely you’ve been hurt in the past. Your view of relationships is jaded, and now you struggle to trust whether the closeness you feel is real or just the calm before the storm. Instead of trying to communicate or talk things out, you might catch yourself starting arguments on purpose, accusing your partner of cheating, and maybe even checking their phone.

If you're here it means you are considering starting or continuing your journey towards healing. It can be overwhelming looking for help, not knowing what the process is like, or how to choose therapist that feels right to you. In my office you can bring what you need, whatever that looks like. Get comfortable, maybe you want to kick off your shoes and use the weighted blanket; maybe swearing will help. It's not an overly formal, clinical setting but a place to come as you are as we gently explore how your past and present are interacting and hijacking the future you want.

Hello and welcome….I congratulate you on the courageous decision to choose YOU. Let’s uncover the most inspiring and authentic version of you together. Allow me to be your guide and supporter on this journey of self-discovery and growth. In my 20 plus years as a therapist, I have been a healer of hearts and a gentle nurturer for the soul. I can help you cultivate courage, illuminate the truth and purpose of the pain you have been experiencing and help you plant seeds of empowerment.

My passion is to empower people to change their lives. To promote this change, I start by creating a relaxed and informal environment to make you feel comfortable in the process.

Are you a teen or young adult who overthinks, worries too much, has difficulty focusing because of stress, or fears you're falling behind? Do college, choosing a career path, managing relationships or life transitions feel overwhelming?

Taking this step toward a better life is not easy, but you are stronger than you think.
