Therapists in Piney Point Village, Houston, TX

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor with clinical experience treating substance use and co-occurring disorders. Some of the issues I frequently work with include: alcohol and drug use, process addictions, anxiety, depression, stress management, self-esteem, interpersonal relationships and challenges related to life transitions.

My job is to see that you feel safe and nurtured. And most importantly that you feel heard. Allow me to help you find answers to your life challenges. Let me help you help yourself by guiding you to be your best self. I am someone who can walk the walk with you and guide you along the way.

The most gratifying aspect of my work is when I'm able to witness your attainment of a true sense of mental wellness and emotional stability, a state where you feel confident in your ability to face and cope effectively with your life challenges. I strive to create a supportive, caring, and nonjudgemental environment where you'll feel safe to thoroughly explore your concerns. As you progress through the therapeutic process, you'll gain awareness and insight into to your underlying core issues, witness your own personal growth, and feel empowered to bring about the changes that you desire.

Life can sometimes be complicated. Workplace stress, relationship challenges, financial difficulty and complicated family issues can become overwhelming, especially when you feel fatiqued, anxious, depressed, confused or alone. You may even begin to lose hope for the possibility of ever getting what you want and living a happy, productive life. A counselor can help you identify the root of the problems and develop steps toward their resolution. There is no reason to struggle through another day alone. Reach out for the support you need and we will work together to move you towards living the life you want to live.

As you have probably learned by now, life doesn't come with a road map. Life's journeys are uniquely individual! When you feel stuck, overwhelmed or seem to be going in circles, you've hit a boulder. Life transitions can be difficult, sometimes painful and tough to maneuver. They typically involve family relationships, career changes, peer interactions, or are related to loss, terminal illness, or caregiver responsibilities. Often, we experience feelings of anxiety, sadness, loneliness or fear; your not alone. Together, in a supportive, non-judgemental environment, we will explore and clarify these issues and underlying feelings.

An authentic therapeutic relationship is one of the most significant pieces to effective therapy. My approach to therapy is warm and direct, and my practice is guided by an array of therapies and theoretical perspectives. Wherever you are in your life that's where we'll start. We will work together at a pace that feels safe, and as our relationship deepens so will the work we do. I am experienced in working with clients who have a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship/ attachment issues, grief and loss, existential issues, and people who identify as highly sensitive (HSPs).

Do you feel stuck in your relationship? Do you miss the sense of aliveness you once felt? Perhaps you’re having difficulty overcoming various sexual challenges. Does performance anxiety, frustration with your orgasm, or sexual pain stop you from fully experiencing pleasure? Has it caused tension within your relationship? Maybe you’ve read books, articles, or even consulted with your doctor, but nothing works. You’re not alone. I’ve built my career, one which I feel so passionately about, around helping people just like you.

You're busy and anxious. The relationships in your life feel tense. Your child's behavior is concerning you, and your relationship with your partner feels nonexistent. You are so busy balancing everything you don't feel like yourself anymore. You feel like you've tried everything to get the spark back, but the harder you try the more tension builds between your child, partner, and self. You're not sure if you can fulfill all your roles anymore. It feels hard.

Are you overthinking instead of enjoying your life? Do you often feel misunderstood or disconnected from friends or loved ones? Does advice from others seem unhelpful or useless? Sometimes we notice we have become too hard on ourselves or others. We may notice an increasing sense of lonliness and begin to lose of sight of what is truly important. Do you ever wish you could just sit down with someone and sort it all out?

Are you struggling with alcohol or other substance use? Having difficulty managing mood or anxiety? Is it difficult to maintain positive relationships? Struggling with trauma, shame, or grief? If any of this is true for you, I would love the opportunity to help you resolve past traumas, learn to cope with unexpected loss or life changes, and explore the future.

Currently accepting new clients, in-person & teletherapy available. Stepping into the process of counseling takes courage, vulnerability, creativity, and curiosity. It requires the use of one’s whole self—body, mind, emotion and spirit. We also all need community to do the work of healing. Finding a trusted counselor can be one such communal support as you move through the process of excavating who you really are from beneath confusing and toxic layers of culture, religion, family messages, trauma, and unhealthy beliefs about yourself and others.

FREE consultations! Are you feeling stuck in negative thoughts, intense emotions, or behavioral patterns that don't serve your best interest? I believe the process of change through therapy should not only involve self-understanding and insight into the past, but beyond that it should also focus on helping clients to learn skills for present-time challenges. Therefore my approach helps clients to develop specific skills for thinking and acting in constructive ways. I am a proponent of therapist actively collaborating with a client to help him/her find ways to manage life better.
