Some of life’s greatest challenges, such as divorce, relationship issues, career choices, work related stress, depression, and anxiety can be difficult to navigate alone. Sometimes these issues may be difficult for our family members and friends to attend to. I am committed to helping clients find new possibilities or recognize the strengths that they may have been overlooking. I am an Army Veteran who has extensive experience working with veterans and their families as a family and victim advocate. These experiences have given me a unique perspective of trauma and the challenges it may present in daily life.

I take the bio-psycho-social approach towards helping you, your family, and your relationships.
Associated with Greater Houston Psychiatric Associates, PLLC. My treatment method involves helping you gain insight, take action, make changes, and accept if change is not possible. I will help manage your struggle with mental illness and will help you through the normal stressors that often accompany transitions in life. The hurt you feel after a separation. The emptiness you feel when your children leave home. The grief you feel from the loss of a loved one. The stress from the unbearable work demands. Whatever the cause, I help with the skills needed to either change the situation and/or the way you think about it.

For many, deciding to meet with a therapist is a big decision. Often times it is seen as a last resort. Talking to family and friends is not always the preferred way of dealing with a situation and that is when talking to a professional is something to consider. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, personality disorders, mood disorders, grief, PTSD, family dynamic problems, couples, parent-child relationships and more. I strive to help my clients learn the skills to work with whatever life throws at them.

You’ve tried to mask your feelings and hold everything together. You have probably told yourself, “I’ve got this under control”, but your actions say differently. Your version of control has been drinking excessively to relax and calm your nerves. You withdraw from your family so you can decompress, but so far nothing seems to help. You cannot escape the feeling. You can’t outrun the problem. As a first responder, you are trained on how to survive, be resilient, strong, to solve others problems, and not show weakness, but what about your problems? When do you get to admit that you need help?

Do you feel beaten down by the constant demands of your life, desperately trying to please your partner, family and/or everyone else? Do you find yourself questioning “what is the point of it all?" or that you were "meant for something more?" If so, I know exactly what that feels like. When we experienced pain, suffering, stress and/or trauma we learn to disconnect from the core parts of ourselves as a form of protection. As a result, we become stuck in a constant state of anxiety, perfectionism, people pleasing as an attempt to reclaim wholeness in our life.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have spent the last thirty years helping individuals, couples and families with feelings of depression, anxiety, relationship issues and family problems.
Therapy is a partnership that grows in an atmosphere of safety and acceptance. It allows one to rediscover the parts of selves which may have been disowned; to learn new skills to handle grief and distress; to build healthier, more nurturing relationships; and to gain access to one's own direct experience of the world. I nurture this collaboration with clients and recognize that within each of us there exists a deeper wisdom that, given adequate support, naturally moves toward healing and integration.

Family Therapy

What do family therapists do?

A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?

Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?

You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?

Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
