Therapists in Houston, TX

I have worked with adolescents ages 12-17 with mental health and a substance use diagnosis in a residential setting, as well as a case manager and program coordinator within foster care and adoption. I have also worked as a counselor for domestic violence and sexual assault victims. Having the skills to cope with your emotions and thoughts and having someone assist you as you work through your emotions and needs at your personal pace is imperative. I have been described as a lighthouse that safely guides others to where they need to go. Let me help you find your way.

Associated with Greater Houston Psychiatric Associates, PLLC. My treatment method involves helping you gain insight, take action, make changes, and accept if change is not possible. I will help manage your struggle with mental illness and will help you through the normal stressors that often accompany transitions in life. The hurt you feel after a separation. The emptiness you feel when your children leave home. The grief you feel from the loss of a loved one. The stress from the unbearable work demands. Whatever the cause, I help with the skills needed to either change the situation and/or the way you think about it.

Are you struggling with feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed or anxious? Do you notice that you can be mean to yourself, or catch yourself questioning decisions? I can provide you with the tools to restore peace and heal the relationship with yourself.

I opened Westgreen Wellness in the hopes of helping clients navigate life’s struggles and understand how to not just make it through life, but live it. I know sometimes everything can feel so overwhelming. We feel like we don’t have it all figured out or have no control over major events happening in our life. Whether the struggle be thriving with a scary diagnosis, navigating difficult family dynamics or finding motivation to get out of bed in the morning, I hope to develop coping strategies and healthy habits with you as well as find meaning behind your pain.

Sexually compulsive and addictive behaviors have been a common presenting problem. It can emerge in the form of pornography addiction, infidelity, hook up apps, and illegal behaviors.Clients seek me out, when there has been problematic sexual behavior either with an individual or in a relationship. Most behaviors of a sexual nature have caused damage to the individual, couple and families. Many people suffer from past trauma and the development of healthy sexual behaviors have been interrupted by abuse, both physical , sexual and emotional. Behaviors can become compulsive and eventually secretive and shameful for the person.

Through this journey of discovery, whether it's via navigating trauma, drama (relationships), or even your mama (issues)-it can be hard to see improvement with just talking to yourself. You may be ready to use that life-line, if so I am available and willing to help you reach the other side.

As a professional counselor, I'm dedicated to helping individuals find the power to change their life.

I am devoted to working with children (9-12 years old), adolescents, and adults who are struggling with life's many challenges and transitions. Life can be stressful, and for most of us it is very difficult to ask for help when we are feeling alone with our thoughts.

We will collaborate together, and build off of your strengths in order to identify healthy coping strategies that are conducive to your lifestyle. In turn, this will help you to accomplish personal goals and improve your quality of life.
