Family Therapy in 73344

Eating Disorders , Addiction Recovery (SUDS) , Trauma IOPs are available here. We are not your traditional treatment center. Our Intensive Outpatient Programs and Center is owned by therapists and run by therapists. Our priority is the client and their wellness. Located on ten acres outside of Killeen, Texas, we use an integrative approach with numerous evidence-based therapies designed specifically for the individual's success. The incoming IOP client needs a higher level of care than someone attending therapy weekly. We offer 12-15 hours a week of intense treatments while the client lives at home. The family system is included.

The decision of finding the right therapist for yourself, your child, or your family can create a lot of anxiety. Individuals and families are taking the risk of allowing me to share in their life paths and vulnerabilities. This is why I work to build a trusting, long-lasting relationship with you. I have extensive training and experience working with a variety of populations, including mild to severe mental illness, as well as diverse groups, including children, youth, adults, and families. I specialize in treating individuals with various diagnoses, including depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, sleep disorders, and chronic pain.

Relationships are one of the most important aspects to me when working with others and through life. I believe we find ourselves in various relationships throughout our days, weeks and lives. I taught elementary school for four years and had the chance to work with children and their families in a different aspect. My philosophy gradually changed to wanting to help families and children with their relationships and began my career with mental health. My current philosophy appears to involve getting to know one another on the client’s time.

I believe in tailoring my approach to each unique case, as I believe each individual brings something different into the therapy room. I believe in setting collaborative goals to ensure you feel heard and that we are working towards the goals you have for your life.

I imagine if you are reading my profile you are seeking to feel respected, supported, affirmed, and/or accepted.

I am also a proud member of many marginalized communities and feel honored to be able to help my siblings and allies from all shades reach the change you seek for your own life experience.

Addiction is one of the toughest things anyone can face. It can be overwhelming, exhausting, and lead to lifelong consequences if left untreated. However, the truth is: We DO recover, and I do mean WE. My professional knowledge comes from a masters degree in addiction psychology, and my practical experience comes from my own journey of addiction and recovery.

I have years of experience working with young adults, parents/families, and educators to navigate the unique challenges each of these experiences can bring. I support clients in navigating life transitions, identity development, values clarity, emotion regulation, and shame resilience. I also work with clients on attachment-related relationship dynamics and challenges that stem from early childhood or other attachment injuries. By connecting in a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space, clients are able to explore their internal worlds and gain clarity as well as a renewed sense of empowerment in their lives.

Sometimes we spend a lifetime searching for answers and trying to unravel the things that have occurred in our lives. Other times, we seek to learn about the future and pathways that we may want to lay out for ourselves. However, at the end of the day, we also need to learn about the present moments and how we transition throughout these various phases of life. Therapy is designed to provide support and a place of safety for the client to explore any and all things that may have already happened in their lives, and the events that may occur as their life continues on.

Don’t worry, hypnotherapy isn’t going to make you bark like a chicken. The day in & day out of racing thoughts, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, & feeling like this is NOT the life you signed up for, is getting old. The anxiety in your chest & constant chatter in your mind is exhausting & you feel completely stuck. Talk therapy just hasn’t cut it. It hasn’t been what you needed. Maybe there’s been some small steps of progress here & there but that DEEP healing & that light bulb moment of clarity - where the world stops and everything clicks? That’s what you’re after.

Many times I have heard people say, “I want to be happier” or “I want to feel better”, but they are not sure what this looks like, what it feels like, or what it even means. They have been struggling with anxiety, sadness, stress, or other negative emotions and experiences for so long, they feel like they have lost touch with what it means to be happy. If you feel like you can relate to these statements in some way, you may be feeling stuck or hopeless about a better future. I want you to know that the way you are feeling is not permanent, and it is okay to ask for help. I am here to support you and make you feel heard.

Have you felt alone, lonely, or dealt with issues of abandonment? Are you tired of managing your life by yourself? My areas of focus are relationship issues and substance misuse. I work well with teens and adults who exhibit behaviors such low self-esteem, abandonment & attachment issues, setting boundaries, people pleasing, burnout, and stress. We will work together to develop new tools that can help you identify and communicate your boundaries and triggers as a way to develop healthy coping mechanisms that lead to a lasting well-being. Contact me to schedule your appointment. Let's embark on this healing journey together.

Life is not always perfect. There are ways to live through difficult moments a little easier. I like to think of counseling like a space where you get to explore, connect, and grow. There are many unpleasant moments in life that we carry and need healing. Finding the right counselor and space to heal and move on from painful memories is important. Counseling can sometimes feel scary, but when you don’t feel balanced it can carry into other aspect of your life. Like I tell my clients “I’m here for your counseling journey, for the great sessions and the bittersweet ones too”.
