Divorce Therapists in Harrison County, TX

If you are feeling overwhelmed, broken, or just at a loss as to what to do to improve your circumstances, I can help. We will work together to help you process through and heal from the difficulties that life inevitably throws at us. I specialize in helping clients learn how to better understand the hard things that happen in their lives (i.e. difficult relationships, divorce, loss, trauma, life transitions, depression, anxiety), how to recover from them, and move forward in a healthy and productive way.

I work with children, teens, and adults who experience difficulties in their daily life; such as stress, anxiety, and family issues. I help couples learn to reconnect through communication and focus on the strengths in their relationships. I work together with my clients to help them learn ways to cope and better understand the difficulties they are experiencing. You do not have to suffer alone, together we can help you overcome the challenges in your life.

Counseling is about working together in a nonjudgmental and caring environment to meet your goals, bring balance back into your life, and help you harness your own abilities in the healing process. I believe in empowering you to lead and guide your own personal growth within an accepting and trusting counseling relationship. I understand that every person is an individual, with specific emotional issues, life views and wants. I focus on how you are experiencing life in the present moment and what we can do together to provide self exploration, self understanding, and an avenue of balance along your life path.

My goal for the counseling relationship is that you, the client, and I, the counselor, will develop trust with one another, work as a team to define and explore present problem situations, develop future goals for an improved life, and work toward those goals. While my counseling philosophies are informed by a biblical worldview, I will in no way pressure or require you to uphold my morals, values, or religious beliefs. As the client I respect your value/belief system and will ask that you inform how that is incorporated into counseling.

Thank you for taking time to read my profile. I know you are busy and need solutions fast. I have 31 years post graduate clinical experience in psychotherapy. My training and experience gives me an advantage when working with complex family dynamics such as divorce, custody and other traumas. I am accepting court ordered Child Custody Evaluations. I am comfortable giving expert testimony and being called as a witness when the situation presents itself. My ideal client is motivated, honest, and ready for relief. My humor- infused style of intervention tends to make the change process more bearable.

Life can be hectic and stressful- relationship issues, childhood trauma, depression and anxiety can make things seem unbearable at times. I believe we all have the capacity to heal ourselves with the right guidance and support. Being a therapist is a calling and a gift- it is my purpose to help those around me find their inner strength and take the steps to live their absolute best life! Creating a welcoming and inclusive environment is of utmost importance to me- I want to ensure that all of my clients feel that they belong and are seen, heard and valued for exactly who they are.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I seek to assist kids, adolescents, individuals, and families to resolve or better cope with a wide range of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, relational or social problems, parenting issues, divorce recovery, and trauma. My background includes working with children and adolescents in a school setting for the past 29 years, including working as a school counselor for the last eleven years. In addition to my work with children and adolescents, I obtained my LPC licensure, so that I was able to work with individuals and families as well, which I have done since 2016.

Have you experienced any of the following: death of a loved one, break-up of a relationship, loss of a pet, divorce, unemployment, illness, life changes, and feeling like you are in limbo (separation; not knowing when the end is coming). You are not alone! I specialize in helping individuals who are going through grief, and showing signs of depression, anger, anxiety and low self esteem for 37 years. I have learned that there are four stages of grief: loss, surviving, healing and growth. Coaching, is an on-going partnership between you and me to encourage change, produce outcomes; so you can fulfill your dreams.

Areas of focus are, not limited to, use of EMDR therapy, Dissociative Disorders, “Tween” age (7-12yrs old) and Teen (13-19yrs old) TRAUMA, depression, identity issues, adult TRAUMA, (ADD/ADHD) attention deficit disorder, high functioning spectrum disorders, anxiety, PTSD, , coming out of abusive relationships, spiritual warfare, premarital counseling, blended family issues, marriage/family, grief/bereavement, parenting, teen age mentoring, children who may be struggling at home, in school, or new and significant changes in life as they have known it. Other areas of focus include divorce, play or art therapy methods of interaction.

I welcome people from different backgrounds and political leanings, unique religious or spiritual beliefs, all kinds of relationship dynamics/combinations, stressful careers, and traumatic experiences. The types that have learned how to “fake it till you make it”. The survivor living off of caffeine and sheer determination. The tired, overlooked and underappreciated human being still carrying the baggage of their last relationship, tough childhood or draining job. Fighters who have lost their spark, but are somehow able to keep everyone else’s flame burning. I see you struggling… silently slipping below the surface. I want to help.

Therapy isn't for everyone, yes I said it, but it's true. For therapy to be the most effective, the person is ideally in a place of readiness to become more aware of necessary change, willingness to do the work, and acceptance of themselves and of the fact that it isn't always easy, but it's worth it.
