Therapists in Jones County, TX

Being a person is hard. Big life events can make it harder and even daily care tasks make it harder. Sometimes, once we realize we need extra help, it’s hard to find the energy and courage to look for help, to ask for it. This is starting to sound like an endless cycle of things being hard and daily life feeling unmanageable – yikes! That’s where I come in! First thing you need to know: you are okay! You are doing so much better than you think! Fun side note: in addition to being an LPC Associate, I'm also a certified Level II Reiki practitioner.

Each morning when I open my eyes, I say to myself: 'I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead; tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.'" ~Groucho Marx. I decided long ago that life is too short to feel miserable or to live in fear. I have since been in recovery for over 10 years! Today, I live my life differently, and, I can tell you, it's worth it. If you're ready to join me on this journey, give me a call.

UPDATE: I will be offering in person therapy as of June 1 2024 but may start before that time. I work with individuals with a wide range of issues from stress, depression, anxiety, trauma related disorders, and are just looking for a change. To book with me directly, check out my website by clicking on "website" on this page which also outlines more of my specialties and experience. I believe people in general intend to live their best lives but it's easy to lose sight of what that means when we get busy at work or tragedy hits. It's common and normal for these situations to require some guidance, support, and maybe a good laugh.

We are all born with a need to feel secure, accepted, and valued. Counseling offers a safe space to share your fears and hurts as you navigate the path towards healing. It’s an opportunity to discover personal strengths, and work in areas where you might feel stuck. It allows the time and space to share your stories, your struggles, and your desires. You can gain the tools you need to achieve your goals and make the healthy and lasting changes necessary to steer your life in the direction that you want to go.

Being an amazing black female therapist means embracing diversity and promoting inclusivity. It means acknowledging the unique struggles that marginalized communities face and actively working to provide support, understanding, and healing. It means using my platform to advocate for equality, justice, and mental health awareness. My goal is to break down barriers and stigmas surrounding mental health within the black community and to provide accessible and culturally sensitive care.

Do you have doubts and insecurities that are keeping you from fully becoming who you are? Are issues related to your self-esteem, trauma, anxiety, interfering with your everyday life? I believe that we all have the capacity within us to live a meaningful and satisfying life. We all faced challenges in different phases of our lives; however, we have the resources and strengths to live meaningful and satisfying lives. The greatest joy of being a therapist is truly making a positive impact on the lives of individuals. I am committed to inspiring clients to make healthier choices, create greater happiness, and live a satisfying life.

You may be struggling with anxiety, relationships, self esteem issues, feeling stressed or overwhelmed. My clients come to therapy because they are experiencing some or all of these challenges and are looking to feel better. Therapy can bring a different perspective to the difficulties you are experiencing and can provide you with the direction and confidence to achieve your goals, live in accordance to your values, and feel better. You are not alone and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. I would like to help.
