Therapists in Lamar County, TX

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I seek to assist kids, adolescents, individuals, and families to resolve or better cope with a wide range of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, relational or social problems, parenting issues, divorce recovery, and trauma. My background includes working with children and adolescents in a school setting for the past 29 years, including working as a school counselor for the last eleven years. In addition to my work with children and adolescents, I obtained my LPC licensure, so that I was able to work with individuals and families as well, which I have done since 2016.

Carl Rogers once said, "When a person realizes he has been deeply heard, his eyes moisten. I think in some real sense he is weeping for joy. It is as though he were saying, "Thank God, somebody heard me. Someone knows what it's like to be me." We all experience times in our lives where we just need to be heard, to be validated, to find some direction. It is my belief that a therapeutic relationship with a genuine therapist who provides an authentic, nonjudgmental, safe environment is the most important factor for growth and positive outcomes.

I know what it’s like to feel like life changes, grief, and obstacles are just taking over. You may feel stuck, unmotivated, isolated or even unable to describe your emotions. One thing is for sure: you know it’s time for a change. You want to look in the mirror and see the best version of yourself looking back. You’re ready to heal, feel better & let go, even though it may take some work. It may feel that your anger is getting the best of you, you are struggling with family challenges such as adoption, or have experienced trauma that continues to impact your life and are ready to heal.

Facing challenges and adversity is a normal part of life, however, you do not have to face these difficulties alone. I work alongside my clients to achieve personal growth and healing in a way that helps improve their lives and feel better. I like to be honest and direct with my clients when they are facing difficult situations.

Life has a tendency to throw unexpected situations, problems, and experiences at us. During these times, it is wise to seek guidance for our personal lives, marriages, families, and professional situations. Together, we will examine your current life situation, what is achievable, and how to move forward. Characteristics of narcissism, controlling behaviors, and problematic situations can affect one's mental health significantly. I work both with the person who struggles with these problems as well as those who are in relationships with that person. I work with individuals, couples, and families.
