Trauma and PTSD Therapists in 77097

My goals include assisting individuals, couples and families in identifying their strengths and finding solutions that help each person navigate their way through their current difficulties. I also focus on developing more effective coping strategies so that each person is better able to handle life's stresses.

When facing problems, we may feel confused and overwhelmed. We may seek advice from friends and family, but end up feeling misunderstood. Counseling provides the opportunity for an objective approach in identifying and understanding needs and feelings. As we discover new approaches and methods, we can proceed on our path to achieving our highest potential.

I am an addiction specialist treating compulsive behaviors for the last ten years. I have helped people struggling with substance, food, gambling and compulsive sexual behaviors. I am a licensed clinical social worker and a certified sexual addiction therapist. With this experience I have specialized in developing techniques to support the parents and partners in relationship with those in active addiction. There is a reason addiction is our number one public health issue and the sooner people intervene on themselves or others the sooner recovery begins.

As a clinician, I take great pride in treating my clients not as just a collection of diagnoses and symptoms but rather as a real person to be listened to and related to on a human to human level. I do my best to keep the administrative tasks at a minimum so we can focus on what’s most important; your healing and growth. In our work, you'll get a straightforward, no nonsense approach that keeps you, the person, at center stage.
