Therapists in Lucas, TX

Relationships are what humans were created for and can be extremely life-giving. However, sometimes we go through hardships that may create distance or unhealthy behavior patterns in these relationships. As a counselor and former educator using a holistic approach, I take into consideration the unique needs and strengths of each individual I work with. I strive to create a non-judgemental space where clients feel heard and understood. By utilizing evidence-based techniques, I assist clients in identifying patterns, gaining self-awareness and developing practical tools to overcome obstacles.

I am skilled in providing intensive therapy to adults, couples, and children across various mental health settings. My expertise includes trauma-focused therapy, couples therapy, and resolving family conflict, as well as managing depression, mood disorders, anxiety, sexual abuse and domestic violence survivors. I use an eclectic, client-centered approach and incorporate narrative cognitive behavioral therapy techniques. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern Univ. Above all, I am a compassionate listener. Together, we can embark on a journey toward a brighter future and healing.

I believe that all people have an innate ability to heal and grow under the right conditions. I practice from a person-centered foundation while utilizing CBT interventions in session to enact self- acceptance and provide clients the tools needed for change. I strive to make conversations about mental health and self-care relatable, safe, fun, and empowering. I believe it is a privilege to gently and genuinely hold space for and guide clients through some of the most significant, or potentially difficult, experiences of their lives while collaboratively working towards self-growth and healing.

Are you ready to heal from trauma or grief, set personal boundaries, gain coping skills and improve relationships? If you answered "yes," welcome! As your therapist, we will work together to set goals to achieve healing and mental wellness. This collaboration is one of importance as healing and self-betterment are difficult to achieve on your own. Remember- healing is not linear. As we uncover your authentic-self, you will come to find peace within yourself that no one can take away from you. My goal is to empower you to discover all you are meant to be.

I see clients with a range of psychological issues, such as anxiety, depression, stress, anger, deconstructing painful religious history or background. Most of my clients are adults ranging from 20 to 80+. I am a Clinical Psychologist with advanced training in psychopharmacology or psychiatric medication management. This allows me to practice psychotherapy and also evaluate, educate and suggest medications that may be helpful in your treatment. If medication is appropriate most of my clients do not see a psychiatrist, they usually return to their family physician for their medication needs. Many take less medication over time.

Relationships provide a window to the heart of an individual like no other. Our closest relationships tend to reveal our most wounded places. Those hurts, if left unresolved, are carried forward and recast into our exiting patterns of relating. All our experiences, but most particularly our pain, become the filter through which we sift and construct our view of self, our approach to life, our capacity love and be loved, and our ability to trust.

Therapy should be an invitation for each client to reach full potential in coping with life's transitions or problems in a safe environment. As a licensed professional counselor, I provide a relaxing atmosphere for you to discover possible ways for you to enjoy your life while addressing important issues. My focus is working with adult individuals using a variety of counseling approaches according to each client's need.

Your strength is in your story, and my goal is to help you, or your child, share that story in meaningful ways that brings lasting change. Life can be unpredictable and overwhelming, but I believe you have within you what it takes to cultivate the changes you desire and find the happiness you deserve. I believe everyone, including children, when given a safe and judgment free environment, can find the confidence within to thrive, even when life gets messy. I want to encourage and help you, your children, and/or your family to discover the strengths that can carry you through whatever life throws your way.

LIMITED AVAILABILITY & ONLY ACCEPTING NEW CASH PAY CLIENTS: Individual & Group Counseling, Coparenting, Parent Coach, Parenting Coordination & Collaborative Law. I am dedicating to providing clients with effective counseling methods to meet their personal needs and unleash their potential. Results and positive intervention are my goal in the therapeutic process. Although, my goal is to provide brief therapy, some clients may need more time to achieve the goals they set out for themselves. I will work with clients to achieve the trust, respect, honesty, and warmth that a counseling relationship demands.

When life gets messy, the path forward can be difficult to see. To help navigate these circumstances, I use an integrative approach to therapy based on what benefits each unique individual or family the most. It is always my goal to provide a safe and compassionate counseling environment, creating a space of openness and honesty without fear of any judgment. It brings me joy to see those who have entrusted me with their care overcome obstacles that once blocked their path forward.

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.

Children often do not have the words to express what they are thinking or feeling. Traditional talk therapy alone is rarely successful in helping children process difficult life situations. I help children overcome anxiety, depression, and other challenges. I also assist parents in building strong, open relationships with their children. If your child is going through anxiety, sadness, behavior problems, social issues, or life changes (divorce, loss of a loved one, etc.) I am happy to walk along side them in their journey. In addition to working with children, I also see teens and adults.

You were brought up to talk a certain way, live a certain way, look a certain way and love a certain way. But deep down, you don't believe much of that anymore. So, you hide. You don't want to be a disappointment to your friends & family. The constant pushing down of your beliefs, thoughts, and feelings is killing you and getting harder and harder to keep from spilling onto every part of your life. I help millennials dig out from under the mess. To accept & celebrate all aspects of their identities and to improve their relationships both in and out.
