Therapists in Houston, TX

I am a passionate and empathetic therapist with strong counseling abilities and an understanding of interpersonal and familial relationships. I specialize in working with clients from diverse backgrounds and across the lifespan. I have experience leading clients through Depression, Anxiety, crisis and stress management. Through clinical experience, compassion, and empathy I support and assist those willing to make a positive difference in their lives.

Are you feeling unhappy, overwhelmed, stressed, confused, unaccepted, sad, and/or unaccomplished? Has life become unmanageable? Uncertain about your life direction or purpose? I help clients develop coping skills to manage the relationship instabilities, focusing limitations, intrusive thoughts, emotional/physical pain, sleep difficulties, lack of progress/motivation, and other concerns due to symptoms of anxiety and depression. It isn’t happiness per se that promotes well being, it’s the actual pursuit of that happiness that is the key to overall wellness.

As an interactive, solution-focused therapist, my treatment approach is to provide support and realistic feedback to help clients move beyond their current difficulties and long-standing issues. With empathy and compassion, I help individuals find resolution to a wide range of personal concerns and psychological issues. I draw from a variety of methodologies and techniques to incorporate what is most helpful for each individual. In a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach adapted to my clients' individual needs to help them navigate through difficult times in their lives and achieve the happiness they deserve.

Do you ever feel that you do not deserve to be where you are at? What gives me the right to be here, even though you have many accomplishments or proof that you ‘deserve’ to be where you are? Or maybe have the feeling that you are ‘faking it?’ When in reality none of these statements appear to be true. Were there events in your life that seem to have changed your entire outlook of who you are and what you are about? Do you feel sadness, grief, anger or worry that inhibits your happiness?

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to aiding adults who feel drained by life's obstacles. Whether you're grappling with significant losses, phobias, stress, anxiety, or past traumas impacting your present, I'm here to help. If you're constantly drained from attempting to juggle everything, please others, or uphold an unattainable standard of perfection, or if you're stuck in a cycle of inner turmoil with your mind racing in circles, it's time for change. Living in a pattern that leaves you unfulfilled prevents you from reaching your full potential. Let's work together to break free from these patterns!

Do you feel stuck in old ways of thinking? Overwhelmed in your mind and not sure how to break free? In your past, you may have had to be the one to 'push through' difficult situations even in childhood. You may have had to grow up fast, 'be self-sufficient' as a child, or be a 'parent' to your own parents or siblings. Childhood trauma, anxiety, relationship issues, self-doubt, deep insecurity & shame all end up working together to stand in the way of your personal wellness. But they don't have to. I enjoy helping clients heal from their past, while realizing the power that they have within their own life in the present.

Generally, individuals begin to feel better with progress often seen after a few visits. The length of time spent in treatment will be mutually agreed upon, based on the presenting problem and its complexity.

Life was never meant to be lived alone.

My ideal client is someone who is ready to face their pain, whatever that is and take accountability for what they can change or do differently now. They understand that growth is a daily practice. They seek healing through acknowledging the past, identify their needs through self awareness, and making life/ behavior changes that is conducive to the life they desire. They seek honesty and vulnerability within, in order to become the best version of themselves. They are committed to taking control of their life by being the narrator of their life story.

Do you ever notice that you can be a little mean to yourself, or catch yourself questioning your life or family decisions? Are you struggling with feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed or anxious? Our clinicians can provide you with the tools to restore your balance and peace and heal the most important relationship you have, the relationship with yourself.

Peace, purpose, belonging, fulfillment, happiness - these qualities can feel elusive in the midst of the many challenges of life. Unexpected, painful events pepper our histories with emotional, unseen wounds, and patterns of behavior that we've used to survive can often lead to further distress. However, there is hope. It takes courage to seek help in the form of counseling, and that is a significant step in the journey of healing and personal growth. I want to encourage you for thinking of taking such a step today and let you know that through such steps, one at a time, the overwhelming mountains of life can be overcome.

Are you searching for ways to navigate your unique journey towards healing and personal growth? Are you wanting to foster positive change? Have you been searching for a non-judgmental space to explore your emotions and express your struggles? Are you ready to lead a more fulfilling and empowered life?
