Having concerns about your body or your relationship with food can be difficult to live with. Messages we hear from our families, communities, and media can make us feel disconnected from our physical experience. You might be hoping to improve your relationship with food, or to heal from the societal messages you've absorbed, or to understand yourself better. You may wish to bridge the gap between your mind, your body, and your soul.

I believe that all people have the ability to grow and heal. As a counselor, I work with individuals, couples, and families, tailoring my approach to address clients’ specific needs in order to develop a safe, non-judgmental environment in which clients feel empowered to make positive changes. In our sessions, I’ll help you identify and address behavioral patterns and underlying issues to create lasting change. To ensure your needs are being met, we’ll work together to state your needs clearly and create healthy boundaries.

As a therapist, it is my job to provide you with an atmosphere where you feel safe to be completely honest, genuine, and vulnerable about who you are and what you want and need without fear of judgment or disapproval. This will be a place where you can be your true self (the good, the bad, and the ugly), and you can feel comfortable sharing things that you have maybe never told anyone else. Trust is vital. I sincerely believe that in any context, when a person is willing to risk sharing deeply personal information with another, that person deserves to know that information is sacred and confidential.

Life is busy and can be complicated and messy. Balancing relationships, family, work, and your health is a challenge. You probably can’t remember the last time you took the time to care for YOU! Do you struggle to find balance in your life and time to take care of yourself? Do you struggle with partner, personal, or professional relationships? Do you feel defeated as a parent? Do you feel overwhelmed by feelings, worries, and stress? Do you feel exhausted from creating “what ifs” in your head, feeling dread and uncertainty about the future? Does chronic illness impact your life? Don’t worry, there is hope!

You're wanting to start counseling and here you are, at the first step. So how do you choose a therapist out of a sea of faces? I think the truth is pretty simple: you go with your gut. Lots of evidence shows that it is the counseling relationship-rather than theory or modality used-that is the causal factor of change. It's my firm belief that the overriding factors needed in that relationship are trust, patience, and kindness. You'll get those from me because that's what I give myself. That's what leads to change.

As a therapist and supervisor for associates, I strive to always be honest with my clients, open to feedback, and work collaboratively. It is my focus to assist you in reaching the goals that YOU want to achieve. We will work in a collaborative manner to create goals and design a pathway to change. I will challenge you to enact this change and guide you through the process in a supportive manner. For Parents of Children and Teens: Trauma, ADHD, Anxiety, and Depression can play havoc with your child's ability to thrive and be happy, affect grades, and lower cognitive abilities and emotion regulation. I am here to help.

As a PhD, Licensed Professional Counselor, CSAT and Co-Owner/Executive Director of The Timothy Center, my daily focus is on helping others find God's solutions to life challenges. In the many years of counseling couples, individuals, teens and their families, my experience has shown me that it is never too late to turn your life or the life of your family around. With extensive training, the right assessment tools, and your commitment to hard work, together we can work on reshaping how we think, remember, and behave.

**ONLINE SCHEDULING, WEEKENDS/EVENINGS AVAILABLE** Being nervous about starting therapy is natural, which is why I work with each client to establish a relationship of honesty and openness so you can feel comfortable sharing your feelings. There is no magic wand in life but you don’t have to face challenges on your own. Therapy is a journey. I approach each session as a time to learn about you—what motivates you and what ails you. I understand the importance of each individual’s culture so I can fully understand you as a person. Together, we will determine the best possible solutions to address your individual needs.

Our practice offers solutions when your lifestyle tips out of balance. Do you struggle with the mental residue of trauma that leads to excessive anxiety, substance abuse, insomnia, or relationship conflicts? We believe that a balanced lifestyle reduces distress and promotes mental health. Balance is achieved through daily habits and skills, including quality sleep, a healthy diet, regular exercise, intellectual flow, meditative practices, contentment with work, and effective social skills. It is through balance that the work of psychotherapy is most effective.

Are you in a relationship, things are going okay but you wonder if this is all there is? Scenarios and conversations keep showing up in your mind and you do what most humans will do at first – make the uncomfortable thoughts or feelings vanish because you’re having fun some of the time. It’s natural to cover up feelings and thoughts because it’s painful. Things with your partner(s) aren’t terrible. But, you sometimes feel a sense of voicelessness or like you’re muted when it comes to expressing your deep feelings. It’s easy for this unique set of feelings to get covered up and swept aside. You want to speak up and feel contentment!

Change in our lives is inevitable. The transition periods between times of stability in our lives are more common then we often care to admit. These transitions can trigger stress, anxiety, depression and other current and long standing psychological issues. I started my clinical practice in 1989 in Austin, Texas and specialize in helping adult individuals and couples who are experiencing transitions due to significant changes occurring in their lives.

You are making the choice to embrace a new empowered you! Realizing that there is strength in finding support, this choice can lead you to a positive path of growth and well-being. Applying integrative therapeutic techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling life. If you're looking for support and guidance through challenging situations or you're ready to move in another direction, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. In a creative atmosphere I can help you uncover your true potential and a life worth celebrating!

There is more to life than just coping! I work with adults and couples who want to feel more vibrancy and optimism in their life, but are just feeling kind of stuck and frustrated. It may surface as a boring job, a flat relationship, not enough relationships, feelings of hopelessness, or a sense of not really choosing the life you have. Humans are not built to solve everything by themselves, and working with an experienced, compassionate, resourceful therapist can help you lighten your load and have choices that make you feel more alive.

Firstly, I want to commend you for seeking therapeutic services! Whether you're looking to address depression, anxiety, trauma, stressors at work, relationship issues, family conflict, or life transitions you're taking an important step in the right direction. I have experience in working with adults with all of these presenting concerns, and know that you don't need to walk this path alone! I enjoy working with adults from all different cultural backgrounds, and I am an LGBTQ+ ally!

Hi there, I'm elated to see you make your move towards health and well-being; I hope to be a part of that journey, no matter how small. Therapy is both challenging and rewarding in all its fullness. In the foundation of our work together, I help you in becoming present, empowered, self-aware, a better communicator, connective, and in tune with the truth of who you are - whether you choose to journey with me individually or move through couples work with your partner(s). In essence, my therapy work will ask of you: who are you right now, and how are you relating to what and whom you choose to keep in your life?

Has your most significant relationship been suffering to where you're wondering if you'll ever get the love and respect back that you once had? I enjoy helping couples find ways to communicate with each other more effectively to feel close again. This involves learning to discuss rather than argue, learning to express your feelings, desires and needs and to hear the same from your partner, and practicing rising above criticism and defensiveness. Rather than "in your head" talk therapy, it is all about getting out of your head and opening up on a deeper emotional level.
