Therapists in Brazos County, TX

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.

Change is inevitable. Pain is probable. Suffering is optional. Many of us already have the strength to manage change but need a little help finding the courage and confidence. That is why I take a collaborative, flexible, transformational, dynamic, and strength-based approach to empower clients to face life’s circumstances. I could help equip you with just tools to tackle your personal and professional obstacles or I can work alongside you and through dialogue help you to develop your own tools for long term sustainable strategies and an independent and purposeful life.

Are you looking to feel more joy, connection and authenticity in your life? Have you struggled to connect with your sense of agency, power and efficacy? Serving individuals and couples who seek to establish healthier relationship dynamics with themselves and others is a true gift. My passion for this work is rooted in my genuine appreciation and respect for anyone who embarks on the journey of self discovery. In addition to my work with individuals and couples, I offer consultations with parents & caregivers looking to increase harmony and decrease difficult behaviors in their homes with their children.

People who face serious life transitions, developmental hurdles, and a dark night of the soul, are those who I would love to work with. If you are trying to find the motivation and energy to heal and grow, our work in counseling could be just the thing to get you moving in a healthier direction. I have a deep interest in the phenomenon of addiction and recovery, whether to substances or process (behavioral) addictions. I can also attend to those who have been affected by addiction in family of origin, or their loved ones, past and current.

Loss, failure, and separation are major root causes of many forms of suffering in life. But they are not always evident, we may be too young when live through them, or we may not feel their impact until long after an event. Sometimes they even travel through generations. As a psychotherapist, I have spent over 25 years helping people who suffered from a variety of emotional and relational problems created by one or a combination of these issues, ranging from basic unhappiness to unhealthy relationships, workplace conflicts, divorce and separations, parents struggling with their children, migration and forced separation, even trauma.

Finding the right therapist can be difficult, maybe you have asked yourself questions like “will they “get” me?”, “do they know what it’s like to feel torn in multiple directions?” Or maybe, if you are anything like me, you have asked yourself “is there something wrong with me?”, “where are the therapists that look, even vaguely, like me?” As a half-Asian, bicultural woman of color, I’m passionate about supporting others who live at the intersection of multiple identities.
