Adults Therapists in Manchaca, TX

There are many reasons someone may be seeking counseling whether it be for the first time, or to restart therapy. You may not be feeling like your usual self lately; lacking motivation, having trouble making decisions, sleeping too much or having trouble falling asleep, or feeling “stuck” in life. Is your teen struggling in school, engaging in risky behaviors, won't open up about anything and constantly fighting with you? You may be worried about the changes you are seeing and feel like it's time to seek outside help. I help teens, parents and young adults deal with feelings and learn healthy coping and communication skills.

"I believe in people and their desire to be in balance. My best clients are the ones who are ready to make the decision to experience therapy as a tool in their self-discovery and healing process.

I have dedicated my career to guiding children, adolescents, and young adults through the complexities of their formative years and supporting them in their journey. My empathetic approach allows me to build a strong rapport with my clients, establishing a safe and trusting environment where they feel encouraged to express themselves openly. With extensive training in various evidence-based treatments, I am well-equipped to treat a range of presenting concerns. I recognize that treatment is not a one-size-fits-all approach; therefore, I adapt each model to suit the unique personality and needs of each client.

My approach to therapy is interpersonal and collaborative. I strive to develop a strong therapeutic alliance that will allow us to achieve your treatment goals. I have a strong interest in multicultural issues and working with diverse populations. For me, diversity not only consists of race or ethnicity but also consists of sexual orientation, gender, socioeconomic status, religious affiliation, age, and a myriad of other characteristics that make an individual unique. I integrate your personal history (narrative) and solution-focused goals to develop a treatment plan in order to facilitate growth and change you wish to see in your life.
