Narrative Therapists in 77009

Everyone has their own unique story and I will work to understand yours. I work with a variety of people including individuals, couples and families from a wide variety of professions, family situations, race, age and religious affiliations. Some of the issues I have experience and success working with are sexual dysfunction, infidelity, communication issues, trauma, and mental disorders. My approach looks at the entire person and the “system” in and surrounding them. I examine elements of people’s lives like their physical well-being, emotional coping and conflict resolution skills.

Have you been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck? If you are facing difficulties in your life that include trauma, family of origin stress, grief, chronic shame or low self-worth, you are not alone. Through therapy, my aim is to create an empathetic space that honors your culture, unique needs, and offers you a different relationship with your emotions.

I want to help you be your most successful, healthy, and authentic self, and am here to support and empower you as a guide to overcoming your personal struggles. I believe everyone is the expert in their own lives, and I treat others with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. As a friendly and relatable professional, I deeply honor the client’s unique perspective and strive to develop a successful therapeutic relationship. I also push clients out of their comfort zones by challenging their existing thought processes and patterns.

Well, sh-t’s hit the fan, big time. Maybe you’ve gotten lost in a world of online fantasies that seemed harmless … until they weren’t. Or you crossed the line with a coworker, or have been measuring your self-worth in Tinder swipes. Or perhaps you're the other half, totally blindsided, feeling like you've just crash-landed in the middle of an emotional earthquake. It’s a mess, right? Not just the sneaky stuff, but the whole hurricane it’s whipped up – your day-to-day, your peace of mind, your connection with each other. You’re both knee-deep in this chaos, and it’s anything but simple.

My approach is to empower clients with the tools they need to grow and create a life that is enjoyable and productive. I work with individuals who feel overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, deep loss, caretaker fatigue, and professional burnout. My belief is that people are largely defined by their past and present experiences. Both past and present experiences can cause psychological distress, anxiety, depression, or feeling overwhelmed.

My life mission has been to learn and understand the many different ways in which our unconscious mind controls our lives, and just as importantly, what to do about it. The fact is that for each and everyone of us, our own unconscious mind has developed and created mistaken and limiting beliefs about ourselves which limit us from reaching our full and complete potential and we are often not even aware of it. This process seems to be universal and reliable research shows that it begins in the very first weeks of life. This is why I focus on helping my clients to find approaches to change the way their own unconscious mind thinks.

I specialize in working with women and teen girls with past/present trauma. Living as a trauma survivor is not easy and can be exhausting. Does anxiety and depression seem to control your life or preventing you from pursuing your goals? Are you struggling with adverse childhood trauma? Are your relationships affected? Trauma is a complex and unique experience for each individual. You are not the same person you once were. I believe everyone deserves a safe and supportive space to work through life's challenges. It is understood that seeking therapy can be a difficult decision, but I am here to support you every step of the way.

Life is messy. Talking about it helps. Circumstances in life can cause us to lose sight of ourselves and who we are called to be. Depression and anxiety can creep in or hit us all at once. Trauma can leave lasting wounds. Grief happens and there is no timeline for healing. Relationships with others can become complicated and confusing. Together we can figure out why you can’t escape from negative thought patterns, where your lack of self-confidence comes from, what’s at the root of your anxious feelings and worry, find freedom from the need to be perfect, process trauma from past experiences, find relief from depression, and more.

Sometimes, our stressful thoughts can become overwhelming and become taxing in our day to day experiences. I help people get "unstuck". I am passionate about working with the Hispanic/ Latin community. I can help with navigating challenging or conflicting cultural and familial differences. If you find yourself in a tough situation, starting to lose sleep, stuck in negative thoughts, and feeling like you are reliving the past due to trauma, then I might be able to help. I have helped people navigate these circumstances and the pain and struggles they have.

Do you feel that the relationship you and your partner dreamed of may be slipping away? Searching for reconnection? You may be fed up with arguments interfering with family time, feeling misunderstood or alone. It may be getting more difficult to remember a time when things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for change. To learn to create improved patterns in your communication. Most of all, you’re ready to establish peace and love in your relationship again.

We all face times in life when things can feel overwhelming and challenging. It is during these times that support and guidance is most valuable and helpful. It takes courage to seek support and I truly believe you are not here by mistake. As a Psychologist practicing in the state of Texas for the past 10 years I hope to help guide and support you through what you are facing. You are not alone. I am a firm believer that you are an expert in your life and together with my experience and expertise in counseling techniques, we can work together to meet your personal goals. I have flexible hours available. Se habla español.
