As a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. Integrating advances in applied neuroscience, I provide Neurofeedback as an alternative, and drug-free treatment for ADD/ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, traumatic brain injury, migraines, sports and academic performance, and a wide variety of other issues. I offer Neurofeedback in the course of therapy, or as a stand alone treatment. I am also certified in ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), a trauma resolution therapy. My therapeutic approaches are individually designed to assist clients in reaching their specific goals.

I am trained in Marriage & Family Therapy, Brief Solution-focused Therapy, Family Mediation, Brain Change Therapy, Ericksonian hypnosis, Michele-Weiner Davis' "divorce-busting" Seminars--"Marriage Breakthrough" and "Keeping Love Alive." I am trained and certified as an Anger Resolution Therapist (CART). I also have vast experience working with step- families, individuals trying to survive a broken relationship, and couples in the process of divorce. I also have an associate LPC, Kim Vogel, who specializes in EMDR and child & adolescent therapy.

I specialize in grief, divorce, abuse, adoption, military issues, PTSD, depression, anxiety, anger, personality disorders, and adjustments associated with life's negative experiences. I work with adults both in individual or couples' counseling. Iam trained in Acceptance Commitment Therapy and in trauma focus interventions.

I provide in office, in-home or virtual counseling options for older adults and disabled individuals for a variety of needs including: Anxiety, Depression, Grief/Loss, Coping with Chronic Illness, Caregiver Stress, Family Concerns, and/or Early Stages of Dementia. Happily serving Kerr, Kendall and Gillespie Counties.

Often we face many challenges in our lives and need an outlet to figure out the road we will take on this next journey. Dealing with depression and anxiety can add to our level of stress. I have successful experience working with adults and older adults dealing with depression and anxiety, grief and loss, stress, divorce, family and care giving issues. With my previous experience working in hospitals and psychiatric hospitals for adults and older adults I bring skills to help you develop coping strategies as you might face these challenges.

I believe the greatest resource for securing a brighter tomorrow begins today by inspiring people to fulfill their potential. Stewart Counseling is professional counseling for families, couples, children and adolescents who believe in taking action toward a flourishing life. Play therapy is generally employed with children 3 through 14 years of age and provides a way for children to express their experiences and feelings through a natural, self-guided, self-healing process. Parent support groups revitalize the art of inspiring independent, self-motivated children and adolescent's fulfillment of their potential in the world.

I enjoy helping my clients work toward change when dealing with difficult situations. My training and education have given me an understanding of cognition, memory, and learning, which directs me to favor a cognitive-behavioral approach (CBT) to counseling. CBT is based on the idea that perceptual beliefs greatly influence our behavior and emotions. I believe that effective change can be facilitated through a better understanding of how we perceive our situations.

As a counselor, I come alongside people who are in a difficult place in their life. Earlier in my life I needed someone to walk with me during a hard time, and I found the counseling process to be life changing and life giving. It changed how I see and relate to life, people, God, and myself. If you are struggling with your relationships or marriage, if you battle with depression or anxiety, are lacking hope, grieving deeply, or if you just feel stuck, I would like the opportunity to walk alongside you and help you process what change and living life differently would look like for you.

In this crazy, non predictable world are you anxious, angry or overwhelmed? Are you more stressed, avoiding others, or are you to the point of calling it quits? Are you dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, ADHD, PTSD, trauma or abuse. I believe we learn survival skills from our past that affect your present relationships, but are no longer heathy & we feel stuck. I am a Christian Therapist for over 20years. There is HOPE. God is a God of attachments and HE says it is not good to be alone. HE has given me to passion and HIS knowledge and HIS Wisdom to help you walk through this journey. You are not alone.

As a psychologist, I strive to develop relationships with people that will allow them to make changes in their lives as quickly as possible. I believe that each one of us is in charge of the story of our lives and because of this we have the power to change our lives for the better. Through a gentle, firm, and compassionate approach you will find resolution to life's challenges in a way that will bring peace,support, understanding,and direction.

I've never seen anything as beautiful and thrilling as watching the heart of a man or woman set free from what have has held it captive for years. As I sit with you, I will be privileged to walk with you through your struggles and wounds and watch freedom begin to take form. Suffering and abuse and all sorts of wounds occur, and the result is that we develop self-protective strategies that hamper relationships. Whether I'm working for your marriage or yourself as an individual, my commitment to you is to try to help you identify lies and embrace truth.
