"Specializing in Marriage and Relationship Counseling and Individual Personal Growth.

I have advanced training in and use Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy for couples, which are scientifically validated and shown to help couples improve their communication and connection."

"Life is naturally full of ups and downs and many of us find we need some extra help getting through those rough patches. Sometimes the help we need is as simple as being heard and given an objective outside perspective and sometimes we may need a little more help shifting through thoughts that are getting in our own way. I proudly work at The Center for Personal and Relationship Growth in central San Antonio. My areas of interest include marriage and couple's counseling, teen anxiety and depression, as well as personal growth."

"Families today are stretched to their limits with multiple demands from work, childcare, eldercare and other personal obligations. As a therapist, I have years of experience working with individuals, couples and families who are members of the "sandwich generation". I understand the multiple stressors that you may be experiencing as you try to balance family and work: attentively raising your children, being a caregiver or advocate for your parent, building a professional identity and carving out time for yourself for recharging. It is a lot to manage and the stress from it all can get to the best of us."

"Are you feeling stuck in life? Are you feeling overwhelmed with the demands of your life, career, or relationships? Do you have mental health concerns due to substance use and other habitual addictions? We help you discover, explore, and overcome what is getting in your way. We provide a safe space where you can began to expand, explore, find hope, discover solutions, and experience healing. We provide Life Coaching and Addictions Counseling to individuals, families, and couples."

"Emotional pain ... sucks. I can help your pain. All therapists use the same basic tools. So do I and I do some things not everyone does. PTSD responds very well to EMDR. I have been using it since 1993, so early that Francine Shapiro, the creator of EMDR, trained me herself. In addition I have trauma training from the Ross Institute. Colin Ross is arguably the expert on treating the consequences of trauma including DID and other dissociative disorders. In addition, my basic training is Marriage and Family so I excel in relationships. But memories cause most of our problems."

"Empowering individuals as they move through challenges and develop a strong sense of self as well as purpose takes a great deal of effort. Often people will find that addiction, trauma, relationships, or mental illness become self-identified labels that create barriers we feel we can never overcome. As a clinician I work to assist my clients in learning about their strengths to move through and past these barriers toward a sense of serenity and an experience of meaningful change."

"There are times in everyone's life when extra support is needed and a safe place to be open and honest is nearly impossible to find. That's why I believe the most vital elements in a therapeutic relationship are unconditional acceptance and compatibility between therapist and client. I know the clients I serve are the expert in their life so I create a safe space for personal exploration in an empathetic and non-judgmental environment. As a Dual Service Military Combat Veteran and spouse of a Combat Veteran I understand that every trauma reaction and path to healing is different."

"Are you or a loved one struggling with an eating disorder? Do you feel no one understands or do you feel too much shame to talk about it? Let me help. My goal is to provide you with a safe, confidential and understanding environment that allows you to explore these struggles through our therapeutic relationship. With valuable feedback and gentle guidance you can be empowered to reach your potential. Whether you are experiencing current struggles, are having trouble letting go of the past or are seeking a change in your life overall; I look forward to helping you find the inner strength to navigate your own path in life."

"Whether you are going through a difficult life transition, and or having relationship problems; dealing with them alone can be challenging. There might have been a time in your life when you knew how to cope, yet you feel stuck about what to do? We're born intrinsically resourceful and resilient, yet life circumstances can change how we feel about ourselves or even cope? Whether experiencing feelings of doubt, fear, I hope I can help you find your way back. The process of counseling is the bringing of new awareness on what is keeping us from reaching our full potential, & towards creating new meanings, & possibilibities."

"I'm about love, self-compassion, radical acceptance, embracing failure, trusting your innate wisdom and starting over. I fundamentally believe in every person's ability to recover from trauma, addiction and life, in general. Experience has taught me that no one is really avoiding anything. When people accuse you of not dealing with something, what they are really saying is you aren't dealing with it the way they want you to. From my perspective, if you wake up every morning and breathe in and out all day long, you're dealing with your stuff. A tiny bit of intention is all it takes to begin healing. "

"Each of us encounters struggle in our lives: the essential element of my approach to psychotherapy involves the sharing of these struggles in a therapeutic relationship. Once this foundation has been laid, we progress toward mutually agreed upon goals. My patients often find that problems bringing them into therapy are connected to other parts of their lives. We work together to uncover these elements and open doors to greater satisfaction and self understanding."

"I enjoy working with clients of all ages. I am often referred adolescents who are involved in the Juvenile Justice System. I am qualified to provide sexual education and guidance to all ages within the framework of their family, community, and religious beliefs. I give parents guidance in helping them to navigate through the courts and their children's schools while offering advice and additional resources. I provide psychotherapy for people struggling with family or personal issues. I am available daytime and early evening hours."

"I believe in working with you to best meet your goals and needs based on where you are. I work with adolescents, age 16 and up and adults. Please check out our website at www.innovarecoverycenter.com to learn more. We are eager to partner with you on your journey to healing!"

"Moving forward in life can be difficult when hurdles exist that haven't been overcome. These hurdles may serve as roadblocks, which can challenge even the most resilient person. Counseling can help."

"Are you In search of a caring professional who is equipped and experienced? Whether you're an adult, family, teen or child---the time for change is now. My 15 years of experience with working in the schools has given me an invaluable insight as to how our younger years, shape and mold us in our later years. Regardless of where you are struggling; past, present and/or future, there is hope. By getting to the root of the problem, we aren’t just treating the symptoms but instead, we will focus on the freedom from issues/feelings/situations that seem to be surfacing or returning. "

"For some of us life can bring pretty significant challenges that have you stuck in unproductive patterns, in relations, work, school or just in our daily lives. In a safe and caring environment I can help you identify, clarify and develop effective coping strategies that can help you in your personal growth and self-empowerment."

"I like to begin my work with clients with a stress-mapping exercise. This helps us quickly focus on the issues that are creating the most distress. While this technique is very present-focused, unresolved issues from the past are integrated into our work, as needed, to bring the best results and relief. We will focus on practical solutions for navigating an often challenging world in a more productive and peaceful way. As a former secondary school counselor, I love working with adolescents and their families, and I look forward to working more with younger children and adults."

"Life can consist of a myriad of twists and turns that stretch you in ways you could never imagine. It can also push you to reach heights you never thought you could. However, it can be overwhelming trying to maneuver through the process alone, and can be challenging trying to find balance in the midst of the chaos. Even the things that seem simple, such as discovering your purpose in life, learning to grow when you feel things are stagnant, and being heard when the noise is so loud can be emotionally taxing."

"I provide counseling services to children, adolescents, adults, couples and families presenting with various issues such as adjustment disorders, anxiety, bereavement, depression, domestic violence, sexual assault, relational problems and other mental health issues. My goal is to create a safe and confidential therapeutic relationship which will help clients navigate current difficulties. At Algos Behavioral Health Services, Inc. we are promoting emotional growth and development."

"Healing begins with you, but you don't have to do it alone. I'm here for you during this journey. I have 15 years experience in the mental health field and 10 years experience in treatment. I am EMDR trained, and love helping clients heal from trauma, depression, and anxiety. Trauma is a lot more common than you realize, and includes any experience that has affected your self worth and/or wellbeing. If you feel different or like you don't belong, come see me. I'm real, compassionate, empathic, and transparent."
