Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in 78746

As a licensed LPC therapist, I have four years of experience working with adolescents and adults experiencing issues with trauma, anxiety, inter-relational conflicts, and other mental health struggles. I have a Master of Arts in Counseling from St. Edward's University, and am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). Throughout my career, I’ve worked with clients who have experienced abuse, sexual assault, drug addiction, and violence to help them process their traumas and reclaim their lives.

I believe we all have unique strengths that can help us navigate life’s challenges. Seeking out support through counseling is one way to re-discover and to cultivate those strengths. I work with adolescents and adults to assist them through life’s ups and downs. I am LGBTQ+ allied and affirming and I utilize a multicultural approach when working with clients. I welcome you to come as you are— I will meet you wherever you are at.

As someone who can identify with the aftermath of trauma, bullying, and grief at a young age, I too can understand the mental and emotional stress; and the need to find peace. Through psychotherapy, I learned self-compassion and how to allow myself to embark on new adventures. I gained hope and a new worldview.

In my practice I see clients of all ages, for therapy and testing/evaluations. I specialize in depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse/dependence, behavior disorders and family systems issues. Most of my clients present with a combination of symptoms. I tailor treatment to the specific needs of the client and use research proven techniques to meet the needs of the individual, or family, in a collaborative setting. I teach healthy coping skills to address a wide range of symptoms.

My great joy is to facilitate healing in body, mind and spirit. I use a varied approach to suit your needs and circumstances. Difficult life events such as a relationship breakup, divorce, addictions and depression demand learning new coping skills. Releasing stress, creating safety within and with others are the first tasks in the therapeutic alliance. Understanding your world is my focus. We work to transform your life stressors into growth opportunities, a challenge I meet willingly. With trust, everything is achievable.

I provide a compassionate, safe, and non-judgmental environment to help you begin the path to healing and self-discovery. My approach to therapy values your unique needs and abilities and I'll work with you to establish goals that are attainable. My style has been described as warm, authentic, thoughtful, and goal oriented. I am practical and results oriented, while remaining grounded in evidenced based practices of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Positive Psychology, Motivation Interviewing Therapy, and dash of Psychoanalytical approach.

Life is beautiful and life is also difficult. I support people who are experiencing perinatal mood disorders; processing a traumatic birth, pregnancy loss, and infant loss; and/or infertility. My clients are diverse in race and ethnicity, spiritual practices, and socioeconomic levels.

I work with individuals in all phases of addiction recovery, including dual diagnosis. My passion is helping individuals regain the confidence and trust that was lost due to a myriad of core issues that contribute to addiction. I believes that addiction is a family system disease and I will help significant family members navigate and understand the nature of their loved one's struggle. I also work closely with the LGBTQ community, especially individuals and their partners struggling with gender identity challenges. And I have extensive experience with grief and loss and difficult life transitions caused by cognitive decline.

Do you prioritize others above yourself? Are you going through a difficult time in your life? Have you noticed negative patterns in your relationships? As a clinical psychologist, I assist my clients in meeting their goals and improving their relationships. Therapy is used to improve communication, problem solving, and increase coping skills. One if my areas of expertise is helping clients who are working through a particularly challenging time in their lives, and are having difficulty moving forward from their experience. Improving self esteem through greater understanding and acceptance of oneself is part of that work.

I am energetic, insightful, direct, inquisitive, and a dynamic clinician. My ideal client would be one that wants to explore opportunities for growth and who is motivated to dig deep into the therapeutic process. Clients who experience anxiety, life transitions, or trauma often need a safe place to process those challenges. This allows clients to get to the root of the issues and learn ways to move forward versus feeling stuck. It is important that clients understand that I can be direct, but I will always respect your unique needs and have a solid understanding that one size does not fit all when it comes to mental health.

While anxiety can motivate and protect us, it can also become an overwhelming presence that may lead to some challenges. You may find that your anxiety prevents you from doing the things you want to do, achieving your goals, enjoying your relationships, and succeeding in school or at work. In an attempt to cope with and decrease anxiety, you may find that anxiety actually grows and becomes stronger. Through a supportive and collaborative environment, I would like to help you develop the skills needed to change your relationship with anxiety and gain back control of your life.

If you want to work on your relationship to food & body, heal pain in your history, and increase self-compassion, I'd love to walk with you. In our sessions, we will explore who you are and what matters to you. We will tackle thought patterns that aren't serving you and work on new ways to interact with your thoughts and feelings that serve you more effectively. I have found that the clients I am most "in my element" with are teens and young adults. When working with teens, I also work with parents to help them navigate supporting their teen at home.

Sometimes we encounter barriers in our lives that are overwhelming and keep us from becoming the person we want to be. Maybe you've experienced trauma during another time of your life. The residual effects of such distressing events can lead to chronic stress and anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors in a struggle to cope. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, I strive to provide a safe, welcoming space to help you feel understood and empowered as you navigate life's challenges. I am also conversant in ASL, enabling me to offer accessible culturally-sensitive therapy to the Deaf community.

It takes courage to seek help and it is important to feel heard, understood and safe in the therapy relationship. I focus on building a strong relationship with the client that allows us to explore areas of concern and start the healing process. My belief in the capacity to change thinking patterns, emotional reactions and behaviors helps clients identify strengths, gain insight and help develop coping strategies. We work with therapeutic resources to help families, couples and individuals accomplish their goals.

Hi there and welcome! Therapy is quite the journey and I would be honored to be part of yours. It takes courage, time, and personal investment to embark on this journey and my goal is to provide quality, research-based approaches to helping you live a more fulfilling life! I work with people of all ages and backgrounds. While in graduate school at St. Edward's University, I had the opportunity to intern at Austin State Hospital working with chronic mental illness. I have worked with clients from age 5-70 with a variety of needs.

Therapy can be beneficial for dealing with the challenges of life; both the ongoing and the sudden. You may be feeling lost, overwhelmed, or dissatisfied; maybe you have stubborn patterns, or you want to get to know yourself a little more. I will work with you where you are at, using various approaches from CBT, Mindfulness, Existentialism and traditional psychotherapeutic methods. Sometimes, we will laugh or cry; some sessions will feel supportive, and others, frank and challenging. I encourage you to bring your whole self to the sessions, ask whatever you want, and risk going to uncomfortable places.
