Life is amazing, and sometimes amazingly hard. Each of us have beliefs and experiences that affect our ability to form meaningful relationships, accomplish goals, or accept ourselves. I hope to help the individuals, couples, and families I work with to challenge their negative beliefs and guide them in using skills to develop a stronger sense of self and more stable relationships. I use a strengths based approach and offer traditional as well as equine-assisted therapy. Starting therapy can be intimidating and scary. I am here to help you through this process! Call or email me and we can set up a time to start this journey.

Do you find yourself asking, "where are you God, why have you abandoned me?" Does your life feel like a constant, never-ending struggle, no matter what you do? Have you experienced unexpected setbacks, just when you thought your life was about to get better? Are you struggling to reconcile your Christian beliefs with where your life is right now? Life in this fallen world can often be difficult and overwhelming, particularly when it feels like our beliefs do not fit with how our lives, or the lives of our loved ones, turn out. When this occurs, we often find ourselves experiencing a difficult crisis of emotion and faith.

One of the most challenging and stressful things we face in life are the emotional and behavioral problems of our children. These difficulties impact not only the success of the child but the overall happiness within our home, our marital relationships and life itself can become wearisome and unmanageable. We may begin to wonder if there is “hope” for improvement or even may feel like “what’s wrong with us.” In the effort to find relief or comfort, we may find ourselves drawn to self-defeating and even destructive behaviors that offer immediate yet temporary relief. There are other options. I offer just this to my clients.

I believe in the power of a strong therapeutic relationship, and the inherent resilience and strength each person holds. I work from a trauma-informed and psychodynamic perspective, understanding that life's experiences shape and impact who we are and how we function immensely. Through these various experiences, many of us develop maladaptive coping strategies and unhelpful beliefs, and have lost sight of our resilience and inner knowing. We each have the ability to redirect our faulty beliefs, and to know and trust ourselves again. It's never too late to find new meaning and connection, and to create a life worth living.

Women have unique and different issues than men. We have issues with our partners, our children, our body image and our own self-esteem and self-love. Life is not always what we thought it would be. Things happen in our lives that we never could have foreseen and we feel blindsided. Sometimes we just feel overwhelmed and can’t get our head above water. There are days we don’t really know what we are feeling, “Is it depression?” “Is it anxiety?” “I just feel blah'". If you are wanting to see life in color again, I am here for you. You do not need to suffer alone anymore. Contact me at Essential Strength Within (512) 788-1132

Navigating through life is a complex journey and can bring up many feelings of hopelessness, being overwhelmed, and that internal feeling of "am I doing enough? Am I enough". What we have experienced in our past is a key attribution on how we have viewed the world around us and the way we present ourselves to this world. The best part is we have the power to rewire our thinking, develop new neuro-pathways, and give ourselves the compassion we need in order to find our spark in life again.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.

Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

How much does therapy cost?

The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.

What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?

Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

Are therapy sessions confidential?

Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
