"CREATE CHANGE TODAY! Offering therapy services to INDIVIDUALS, COUPLES, FAMILIES, AND CHILDREN in a safe, discreet, comfortable setting located in downtown Galveston, Texas. PHILOSOPHICAL STATEMENT: To create change, we must be willing to consider how our lives can be different and then think, feel, and act in ways that are different. As a therapist, I seek to partner with my clients in creating therapeutic relationships aimed at understanding how our lives are continuously shaped by change and how we can in turn influence the process of change through dialogue and communication."

"I work with individual and couples with a variety of issues to include addiction, stress, grief, depression and many other issues. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor as well as a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor."

"I assist clients dealing with addiction and the related co-occurring issues (anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD/ADD, stress, bipolar, schizo-affective, schizophrenic, etc. - I DO NOT use these diagnostic labels - I list them here because that is the medical terminology). Every single one of my clients has experienced some type of trauma, PTSD, childhood emotional neglect, intergenerational family issues, spiritual emergency / psychosis, etc., and addiction has been the result. Clients who have been impacted are in my estimation actually highly sensitive people and highly spiritual people (whether they view themselves as that or not - they are gifted in some way)."

"If you are struggling to love yourself and others, seeking guidance is a great place to start. I am dedicated to helping children, families and adult individuals nurture and grow their inner resources for healing, happiness, and peace. My aim is to work collaboratively with you to restore your innate capacity for greater resilience and connection. I deeply believe in the wisdom of mind-body-spirit and the brain's natural healing processes, and trust that those are driving each of you, in the context of your relationship with me and/or with your family, to seek wholeness and vitality."

"I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am a former School Counselor.

"I emphasize a client-centered, holistic approach in my work based on my understanding that mind, body, and spirit are delicately interconnected. I believe humans have an innate capacity to heal and that we can heal even as we are dying. I see my clients as the experts, while I create a compassionate container for transformation and change. Knowing this transformation may take a brief or an extended period of time, I will work with you for whatever time you need."

""Where is he...who is he with", "It's no big deal that she drinks", "He has the problem, not me". Familiar? Spouses may hide their addictions from their partners, lying about their actions or expenditures. Parents of addicted children may go to great lengths to rescue a son or daughter from a destructive lifestyle, only to experience the heartbreak of seeing their child return to that lifestyle again and again. Addiction rarely only impacts just the person who is currently struggling to overcome it. It interferes with loved ones, causing frustration and stress to appear in otherwise healthy and happy relationships."

"Like many other therapists, I entered the helping professions in response to my own need for healing. My path has led me into a deeper study of Jungian concepts, trauma interventions, and change/end of life issues, including grief and loss. Each of us has a unique path to become the Self we were meant to be. Working with both the conscious and the unconscious, I am committed to helping you through the problems and crises that have led you to your particular path of individuation."

"My diverse therapy skill sets allow me to work with almost any client presenting with a variety of interpersonal, occupational, and academic concerns. I am able to assist clients dealing with stage of life changes, self-harm behaviors, sexuality and gender concerns (LGBTQI+ Ally), relationship problems, mood disorders, sex addictions, women's issues, men's issues, spirituality concerns, and substance abuse concerns. Curently, I am providing individual therapy, couples therapy, premarital and marital therapy. I am also able to perform various mental health and psychoeducational assessments when warranted."

"Hi, I am a Psychologist and I've been working as a licensed clinical therapist for 19+years, counseling individuals and couples with a variety of issues. I have found that the WORD of God and a real, living relationship with Jesus Christ leads to lasting solutions and authentic healing in our lives."

"I use hypnosis in applying cognitive behavioral procedures to resolve difficulties that people experience in navigating through their lives, especially circumstances involving stress, anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflicts, bad habits and traumatic experiences. Hypnosis is a process that does not control you, but instead teaches you how to exercise better control of yourself. Hypnosis creates an especially favorable environment for accessing dormant psychological resources and learning new skills and habits of thought and behavior that you can apply throughout your life to achieve your most desired outcomes - those that are consistent with your deepest values."

"Half the battle of seeking help is making an appointment. If you are reading about therapists, you must have something to say. In my office you will quickly feel comfortable and safe. Why don't you phone me and talk for a few minutes to get a feel for my style. I have been working with people for the last 24 years to improve the quality of their lives. So please feel free to phone or email for an appointment. I know that you will be glad that you did!"
