Therapists in Alamo Heights, TX

It makes perfect sense that you're exhausted. You spend much of your time thinking about what could go wrong or what others are thinking. You feel energy crashes throughout the day, your mind chatters at night, and your dreams are so vivid that it leaves you restless. It seems as though you and your partner can never see eye-to-eye, and when you're not arguing with them, you're wrestling with issues with your parents. You've spent much of your life taking care of others - walking on eggshells, afraid of judgement, constantly questioning if you're good enough - I know this because I've lived it. Now is the time to take care of YOU.

Are you suffering from crippling depression or anxiety? Are you going through a major life transition like changing careers, divorce, or other loss? Maybe you're battling habitual patterns that keep getting in your way no matter how many times you've tried to change things on your own. We believe that therapy can provide you with the means to face the hardest of life's challenges. Having a space to be heard and learning to better understand your problems can be the key that helps you to move forward. It provides a new perspective, as well as tools to better manage problems well after therapy is complete.

Therapy is a safe place to explore challenges in our lives & find strengths that we never knew we had. It has the potential to lift us out of our rut so that we can finally make the changes we've longed for. Whether you are working to decrease your anxiety, unmasking and living authentically, changing careers, exploring your gender or sexual identity, or trying to change your relationships, therapy can be a great place to get a fresh perspective & face these challenges with a champion by your side.

Struggle is a part of life, but our struggles can often make life feel overwhelming, stifling, or meaningless. It’s all too easy to get stuck in patterns of living and relating that feel like endless repetitions of old models that seem to generate more problems than they solve. Whether your goal is healing from traumas, improving relationships, addressing complex mental health concerns, or striving for a deeper and more meaningful understanding of life and yourself, I believe that therapy can be an invaluable tool for exploration, healing, and growth.
