Attachment-based Therapists in Bee Cave, TX

I'm glad you've taken a moment to connect with me here. As a seasoned therapist, my primary goal is to offer you a warm, empathic, and holistic space where you feel heard and understood. Life, with its complexities, often leaves us feeling overwhelmed and caught in a whirlwind of negative thoughts and behaviors. But remember, you don't have to traverse these challenges on your own. I'm here, ready to walk alongside you with compassion, insight, and effective strategies.

Do you ever wonder how you are going to get through a major life transition? When life takes you to a place of uncertainty, and you begin to question yourself and your ability to make quality decisions, wondering, "is it normal to feel this way?" Whether your changing jobs, starting a career, moving to a new area, or have a chronic illness, change can be stressful and requires a series of adjustments to get back to a sense of life balance. Much of my professional expertise focuses on life transition and the impact of change throughout the lifespan, from young teens to older adults.

Hello! I have a doctorate in clinical psychology and blend my academic expertise with over two decades of experience to help you unlock your full potential and navigate life's challenges. I help couples struggling with marriage issues, individual adults with career and job concerns, teenagers facing stress with school and family, and mothers who are balancing multiple life stressors. I also have experience helping couples and individuals experiencing stress related to infertility. I'm here to empower you on your path to personal growth, healing and fulfilment.

Hi! As a parent we are facing different challenges everyday in which we struggle and feel pressured to constantly have it together. I’m a mother of two and understand your struggles of not feeling enough, especially during a time when we are required to be parents, teachers, doctors, nurses etc. all at once. So if you take anything from landing on my page I want to tell you that: You are enough! As a clinician I have helped children and families who had experienced challenges and adversities in their lives.

As a psychologist licensed in both NY and TX, my aim is to help people understand and overcome challenges that are restricting their well being, relationships, and effectiveness at work. For adults, I specialize in these issues: high-achievers, stress management, relationship issues, life transitions, parenting, marital or family conflicts, anxiety and depression (e.g., social anxiety, covid-19 related). It is truly rewarding to watch my clients become more self-regulated, more satisfied in their relationships, and more equipped to handle life’s stressors through learned coping skills.

Are you experiencing feelings of depression, anxiety, loneliness, issues with intimacy, and sexual desire? I am a sex-positive, non-monogamous, BDSM/KINK, LGBTQIA+ affirming relationship therapist. Let's work together! Perhaps you lack self-compassion, you are self-conscious, or maybe you're unsure about the future of your relationship. An important aspect of therapy is examining our inner world, relationships, thoughts and feelings in a safe non-judgmental space. Using an integrative approach, I aim to create a positive therapeutic relationship that promotes healing with compassionate self-exploration. Contact me today!

Something isn't working. Maybe the conflict, or lack of connection, in your relationship is leaving you hurt and hopeless. Or you've taken the hard step of ending a relationship, but now don't know how to avoid making the same mistakes with your next one. Perhaps, like many, the last few years have left you stressed and burnt out at work, and you're looking for a new sense of purpose or meaning. Maybe, on paper, everything looks good, yet you still aren't happy. It's easy to get overwhelmed and discouraged; to not know what to do.

Whether it's life challenges, obstacles or transitions that are prompting you to seek counseling, today you are one step closer to your personal journey of growth and healing. Fear of change is natural, but can prevent us from letting go of old beliefs, behaviors, ways of being and situations that are no longer beneficial to our wellbeing.

As a psychotherapist, my role is to help facilitate and support you, the client, in discovering, processing, and most importantly, deciding if changing some strategies you have needed to implement in negotiating your life is a next step in your treatment. It can take time to identify influencing factors in the problems experienced in life. Through the development of a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship, we will identify issues, if not already clear to you, and take action in the therapeutic relationship itself to develop the relational, emotional, and or behavioral skills you determine need to be the focus of your treatment.

I consider myself privileged, if not honored, to walk through the life journeys of my clients. I work in a collaborative and facilitative manner with those struggling in relationships, or dealing with anxiety, depression, or work/family issues to name a few. Working with couples and post-menopausal women and their individual struggles in their transitions is also something I enjoy. I believe therapy should be client-centered, goal oriented and short term in nature.

Life's a journey, with many unexpected twists and turns. Sometimes we need someone to talk to, someone to share our thoughts and feelings, dreams and fears, and help guide us toward resolution. I want to help my clients navigate this path, and to also experience the possibilities of living their best life possible. I work with older teens and adults, and also specialize in women's issues across the lifespan, as well as those with health concerns. College students are a special interest, as are educators, as I’ve worked as a teacher and school counselor and understand the stress and dynamics associated with the profession.

I provide therapy in a supportive, authentic and normalizing environment. I work to help others feel empowered as they work toward their goals and recognize how much they are able to shape their own lives when provided with effective tools and insight. I believe that the appropriate use of humor is extremely helpful and I strongly believe that it is not my place to judge you or to impose my values on you during the therapeutic process. I view counseling as a team effort where the counselor and client work together.

My practice centers around teaching people principles on how to access their own innate psychological health, and how to utilize this understanding for their own well-being. This can include a healthier concept of self, a more productive way of viewing difficulties and overcoming challenges in life, and how to establish more meaningful relationships. I help client's suffering from depression, anxiety, attention issues, addictions, emotional regulatory disorders and relational conflict learn skills such as CBT, DBT, 3 principles training, and mindfulness to help better their lives. Teaching new skills is an integral part of my practice.

I bring compassion, curiosity, and sensitive expertise to my work with adults. A mindful approach allows for attention to the present moment as the foundation for insight and change. Are you finding it difficult to prioritize or care for your mental health? Do you have a history of trauma? Encountering overwhelming life changes? Struggling with chronic pain? My broad experience can be the key to making sense of your world and regaining your equilibrium. In addition, I bring my life experience and work as a professional counselor to offer supervision to LPC interns using the Integrated Development Model and a Psychodynamic approach.

You’re tired. You’re overwhelmed. You don’t know what else to do. Feeling stressed day in and day out takes a toll on us. It sucks up our energy, makes us irritable towards our loved ones, and even weakens our immune systems. But let’s face it – life is stressful! Your kid is having a tantrum in the middle of the store, your boss is breathing down your neck, groceries are expensive, and you and partner keep having the same arguments on repeat. All of this leaves you feeling frustrated, hopeless, and just plain exhausted. That’s where we come in.

It is an honor and a privilege to journey alongside you as we work towards understanding the barriers that are preventing you from meeting your goals. I use an integrative approach of empirically based clinical techniques that are client centered. I work to meet you where you are. Together, we will dig deeper and look at the root of the problem. As we journey towards your goals, I will offer support, encouragement, and tools to help facilitate lasting change.

Welcome! Often I hear am I broken? Is there hope? Will it get better? Will I get better? Can I get through my past? The answer is yes. This is the first step to become a better you. My end goal is to empower you to address the struggles head on and then overcome them. I will then support you on your journey to reach the goals that you desire.
