Athletic culture often praises the ability to do it all, however, we all experience issues that cannot be masked or pushed aside. I believe athletes can benefit from having a place of understanding support to work through issues such as, eating disorders, body image, anxiety, depression, injury, post-sports career, substance use, or traumatic events. Athletes devote tremendous time and energy into physical training, and I believe mental health is just as important to achieve even more in life, and for improved sports performance.

I use a cultural relational model of psychotherapy for adults, and a Modern Analytically Informed Interpersonal Processing approach to groups with a special interest in Chronic and Catastrophic Illness and Disability including where those issues intersect couple's issues. My work with couples is informed by John Gottman, Harville Hendrix and Sue Johnson. Using these research and treatment models with you and your partner around issues of communication and attachment can help you to resolve problems, and achieve closer connection with each other along with a better quality of life.

We work with you, your family, and other providers to provide information about cognitive strengths and weaknesses that cannot be attained from other diagnostic procedures. We help you understand how problems with the brain may relate to problems seen at school/work, home, or with peers. We work with other doctors, teachers, and therapists to develop a comprehensive treatment plan to address your (or your child's) weaknesses and utilize strengths to compensate whenever possible. We will make specific treatment and/or environmental recommendations to help you achieve your goals.

I have over twenty years of experience treating individuals and couples. I work with a wide range of issues specializing in depression, anxiety, self esteem, life transitions and couples therapy.

Making change is simple, but not easy. I work with adults who need support in making positive, lasting changes. I have helped many clients over the years reach personal goals such as: healing from trauma, rebuilding after loss, learning healthy coping skills to manage anxiety, maintaining sobriety, setting boundaries in relationships, identifying and communicating feelings and needs, and developing self-compassion. In our sessions, you can expect me to be relational; clients have described me as warm, funny, and easy to open up to.

I am passionate about embracing the paradox of accepting ourselves as we are right now, while also committing to change. I believe this is the essence of therapy that leads you towards the fulfilling and joyful life you deserve to be living. When I sit with you, I offer my unconditional acceptance, my calm presence, my sense of humor, and concrete tools that are easy to use and effective. My desire is to cultivate a genuine and compassionate relationship in which we can collaboratively work together towards health and happiness.

Welcome! I know seeking therapy can be difficult and it can be hard to venture into the unknown. I believe it takes an incredible amount of courage to begin this journey of healing. I’m honored to be a part of this process. Often I have seen individuals seek therapy when they feel hopeless and cannot see through the darkness that things can be different. Through therapy I aim to reveal hope again and walk alongside you as we find the light together. I truly love what I do as a therapist and feel humbled to witness the bravery in others every day to take steps to live more fully.

We believe that mind, body, and spirit are interconnected; we will help you take inventory of your mental health, physical health, and emotional health to find what works for you. When working towards a goal, people struggle with balance; they stop drinking, but start binge eating; end a toxic relationship, begin isolation; gain financial independence, lose family time. We offer alternative therapies for those searching for a holistic and eclectic approach to counseling, including creative arts, mindfulness meditation, and logotherapy, the belief that we can find meaning in suffering.

Counseling was once seen as something having to do with weakness. Now it used widely and routinely for gaining strength, new skills, making meaning out of one's life and living one's purpose. Living & loving fully and leading a life that matters has everything to do with finding the right mentors along the way for support and guidance in transforming vulnerability into strength. I help mamas, papas and adults who want proven skills to help themselves &/or their child succeed. And when families & individual adults experience ongoing stress, loss or trauma, having proven skills & tools is even more important--Help is here.

CURRENTLY TAKING NEW TELEHEATH CLIENTS!! As a therapist, I consider it an honor to carve out a safe and compassionate space for others to navigate their life path.

I want to feel that connection. Someone who can hear me, someone who is in tune with my feelings and emotions and someone who is caring, supportive and not afraid to confront their issues at hand. Issues include highly stressed, depressed, experiencing a lot of anxiety and feeling overwhelmed, not sure what to do. The client has tried coping mechanisms or strategies that haven't worked out. Their goals are to feel better, connected by someone hears and affirms them and is walking with them and doesn't feel alone.

I focus on developing caring and authentic relationships with my clients, because no one should have to go through difficult times alone. Therapy is a place to explore how our past experiences influence our perceptions of ourselves and the world around us. Through collaborative conversations, we will figure out new ways of interacting with the stressors in your life. My approach to therapy combines cognitive techniques while working primarily from a Relational-Cultural foundation. I enjoy working with clients who have a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, self-injury, Bipolar Disorder, family/childhood/relationship trauma, and LGBTQIA+ identity concerns.

Understanding or changing our emotions, behaviors and relationships can be a difficult task to take on. Having the support of an unbiased perspective can help as we grow beyond the things that cause us discomfort. As a systems therapist, I understand the issues brought into the therapy in relation to the school, work, social, societal, intergenerational and relationship systems involved. Yes, that does mean talking about your parents and how the messages you received in your family have shaped you. It also means talking about the ways culture, race, sexuality, work environments and history affect the ways we feel and behave.

My clients are interested in exploring themselves and their thinking in the service of a more fulfilling life. I treat depression, stress and anxiety, family issues, relationship problems, academic concerns, trauma and others. I am comfortable with a variety of concerns that I don't list here. I have extensive experience helping clients towards health and wellness. I am also experienced in helping people cope with chronic disease. I enjoy guiding my clients through big life changes such as transition to adulthood, career, retirement or relationship changes such as marriage or divorce.

COUNSELORS OF TEXAS is one of the largest private counseling groups in Central Texas with offices located in Killeen and Round Rock. Our services include individual therapy, marital and family counseling, group therapy, psychological and educational testing, Christian counseling, educational assessments, chemical dependency counseling, vocational counseling and play therapy. We work with children, adolescents and adults.

As a therapist, I work with children and adolescents who struggle and live with grief, loss, bereavement and trauma. These issues are personal to every individual and can be complicated, complex and serious. I believe at the core of everyone are the potential building blocks for resiliency. This is my guiding principal for the therapy work I do, as well as for myself. If you are ready to talk about the difficulties you're living with currently or have experienced in your past, with the goal of creating a road map to resiliency, then you've come to the right place.

Doesn't it seem ironic that the only constant in life is change? Our lives are ever changing and evolving; weathering away at some areas while creating and rebuilding others. The more we cling to what we know, to the past, and to our expectations of how things should look, the more we struggle to find peace in the moment of what actually is. Because of this belief I view acceptance and the discovery of meaning in life experiences as essential pieces to the overall puzzle that is our health and happiness.
