Therapists in Garza County, TX

Although society is growing to understand the importance of mental health, caring for our well-being is not always encouraged or seen as a high-priority; but, our ability to know ourselves and process through life events is foundational to freely living the life we hope for! Are you having difficulties caring for yourself or others around you? Do you feel as though the circumstances of life are overwhelming? Is it difficult for you to form healthy connections and relarelationships? Is your relationship or child struggling? If these questions struck a chord, I would love to be a helpful stepping stone in your journey of life.

Every new day is a new chance to change. Life comes with many stages and changes like getting married or divorced, having children, going to college, starting a new job or losing someone close. Whether you are prepared or not these things often create so many emotions, thoughts, and decisions it gets overwhelming. Sometimes you just need someone to listen and help guide you through it. As a systemically trained therapist, I believe it’s the experiences we have had throughout our life with family, friends, partners, colleagues, etc. that shape who we are and influence how we handle what’s going on in our world.

Do you have stress and anxiety related to a pending divorce, infidelity, pornography addiction, drugs/alcohol, or violence? Often these "adult" issues become problematic in households where children are involved. Are your children caught in the middle? Poor grades and oppositional/defiant behaviors can result from differing parenting styles or other conflicts between adults in the home. I understand the difficulty of seeking help in situations where feelings of embarrassment, guilt, anger, fear, or shame are involved, and assist my clients in resolving them.

Self-improvement starts with you, and taking the initiative to seek help is already a big step forward. In our time together, I will cater my approach and techniques to fit your unique goals and cultural preferences.

Relationships are the cornerstone of life. Being able to have healthy, trusting relationships with ourselves, our partners, and families allows us to truly be who we were meant to be. I offer a safe and collaborative environment that will allow you to feel heard, understood, and empowered while working towards your goals. My approach will honor your unique lived experience and be focused on your needs. To honestly know yourself is to pursue a lifelong journey of self-exploration and walking alongside you in this process would be a privilege.

After twenty years of practice, I continue to find that people are best served by a counselor who is emotionally and psychologically available to them in a time of need. I have enjoyed strong effectiveness working with depression, relationship conflict, grief, and anger management. I work with couples, older adults, teens, and children. These experiences have inspired me to incorporate multiple approaches that fit the personalities, interests and needs that people bring to my practice.

I believe in a therapeutic process that revolves around life's changes and the journeys it takes us on. Choosing to change your focus is a powerful way of transforming any situation. Focusing on the positive doesn't mean that we are denying reality or avoiding what isn't working. It simply allows us to work from a grounded place in order to make the most informed decision from a less emotional place of clarity. Within our sessions, the goal is to cultivate a trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship where an individual can bring their full self into session without any fear.
