Therapists in Lufkin, TX

My goal is to help my clients find health and healing through introspection and understanding of their history and making active change in their lives.

I see you. You're here because something isn't working. You know it is time to do the work of addressing your experiences so you can move through this chapter of life more smoothly that you have been up until now. Working up the nerve to go to therapy can feel like a overwhelming process, but it doesn't have to be. While there may be some anxiety-provoking aspects of working with me for the first time (or any therapist for that matter), you don't have to do it alone. You've come to the right place!

I am passionate about helping individuals and families reach their unique, personal goals. I believe a client grows best when there is a positive therapeutic relationship built in a safe and non-judgmental atmosphere. Those who want to build interpersonal insight, increase self-awareness, and are willing to implement new skills will benefit most from therapy. The ability to visualize their desired outcome is an important part of the therapeutic journey for clients and is key in the redevelopment of their personal identity.

I see clients both virtually and in person; and in our work together, you will create or reconnect with a life worth living. You will come to see emotions - even the painful emotions of anger, sadness and guilt - as signals that something needs your attention rather than something to be avoided. You will gain an understanding of who you are and how you are, which will facilitate personal changes you may want to make or help you navigate challenges you are facing. And maybe, most importantly, you will strengthen your relationship with yourself and with others.

Good Day! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW ) based in Texas but also seeing online clients from Illinois. I received my Masters (MSW) from Loyola University Chicago and have been practicing for 6 years.

Do you struggle with relationships, regulating your emotions, feelings of shame and guilt, and setting healthy boundaries? Do you feel unsafe in relationships, settings, and/or situations and find yourself hypervigilant for threats? You may be experiencing the effects of Developmental/Complex Trauma which typically results from repeated or multiple traumas experienced in childhood. Usually, these are interpersonal traumas where the caregivers unintentionally or intentionally fail to provide secure attachment, safety, and validation which can wire the developing brain mainly for survival rather than for trust in relationships.

Are you experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety; addiction; or the residual effects of trauma? I believe that you, as the client, are the expert of your own story. I am here to provide you with a unique personalized approach to psychotherapy that is person-centered; and focuses on your strengths and your potential. If you are someone who experienced relational trauma as a child, you may be experiencing difficulty navigating relationships as an adult. Through a therapeutic relationship, you will find a stepping stone from which to develop a more meaningful way of being in the world.

Trying to balance yourself emotionally, physically, spiritually, and mentally might feel like a lot on your plate. You should know that reaching out for help is a testament to your strength. Working at your pace, we will ensure therapy is a safe environment to address your barriers and realize your goals. I aim to optimize the tools you already have and help you uncover new skills to make life more manageable. As your counselor, I would be honored to walk alongside you to overcome obstacles and help you leave therapy with a more in-depth understanding of your capabilities and resilience.

As a parent of a kid with trauma, you are fed up with using "traditional" parenting techniques that never seem to work. You feel like you have no idea what you are doing or like a complete failure as a parent. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you need a break. You’re ready to use parenting strategies that get you compliance without screaming . You’re ready to connect to your child and yourself in a new way. Most of all, you’re ready for your relationship with your child to grow, deepen, and flourish.

My client population includes, individuals seeking life balance, establishing a recovery network for long-term sobriety from addiction, including alcohol and mood altering substances. I offer services to teens and young adults transitioning to college, and career development. I will address anxiety and depression through the session as it relates to these transitions. I encourage working with families/couples to address boundaries, communication skills, and family history of addiction and mental health. I like to focus on the solutions, and less on the problems with individuals and families.

Are you a woman that has recently experienced loss and heartache, and is struggling to pick up the pieces of your heart and your life? Do you feel like you are "called" to more; however, feel like you are "stuck" or in a transition where you are unclear about your identity, purpose, and path? You are here because you are want something real and deep; you want passion and you are refusing to settle for the ordinary. Perhaps you have been shamed into thinking something is wrong with you. Your heart has been longing for healing and transformation that brings you closer to your full, authentic, and integrated self.

Most of all, you are ready to love yourself and your body. Clients come to me looking for a therapist who can identify and help get to the root of the problems because therapy should be a place of compassion, understanding, and nonjudgement. Give me a call or e-mail to schedule your first appointment.

I have been a practicing psychotherapist for over 20 years. During this time, I have worked with a wide range of client issues such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and complex PTSD, with a particular emphasis on severe interpersonal trauma. This type of trauma often results from issues related to adult and childhood sexual/physical abuse, intimacy partner violence, and insecure attachments. I work flexibly, using a wide range of counseling approaches to create a treatment direction to successfully address each client's particular needs.

Whether you're an adolescent or adult with these experience or a parent wanting to learn how to support your child through these difficult experiences, I'd love to help.
