I love working with moms hanging on by a thread, CEOs at their wit's end, and couples who feel like they've been living in a dying relationship for years. Moms come in running on fumes, convinced that if they just tried harder they'd feel less like they're drowning. CEOs walk in looking like they have it together, and by minute ten we're talking about the 3am anxiety spirals nobody at the office ever sees. And the couples who've been stuck for years? They're not looking for someone to referee, they just want to remember why they fell in love in the first place, or figure out honestly if that's even still possible.
I get it because I've lived both sides of it. I'm a mom of three and I've built my own practice from scratch, so the juggling act isn't theoretical for me. I know what it's like to run a business, keep tiny humans alive, and still show up like you've got it together. I understand the specific kind of tired that comes with doing a lot and doing it well.
As part of Greater Houston Counseling Services, PLLC, I consult with our team of therapists, psychologists and nurse practitioners who specialize in different issues, ensuring that all possible treatment approaches are considered. If we encounter problems outside of my areas of expertise, I can provide seamless referrals, including testing and medication.
