Jewish Therapists in Jefferson County, TX

I primarily work with Men ages 20-45. I GET it, therapy is hard and scary. There is no way around that. It is very difficult diving into your emotions and sometimes pushing yourself to FEEL can feel even worse... I have been in your shoes. Before I became a therapist, I was right there. What changed my life was finally committing to myself and my happiness. Like everyone, this is a daily battle, but now I have a team of support to make life easier. I offer to be a therapist who can listen, support, and explore your pains, struggles, and parts unseen. I will always be here on your worst days and excited about your best.

I imagine if you're here, it's because you're hurting. Things aren't going the way you want them to: Maybe your marriage or relationship isn't bringing you the joy it used to, or maybe it's driving you downright nuts. Maybe you aren't speaking to your kids, or maybe you are the kid or teen that just can't seem to get along with your parents or the people around you. Maybe things have gotten so bad that you've contemplated hurting yourself or suicide. Perhaps you're grieving a loss, a person, a job, a relationship. Or maybe you've tried to figure out why you're not as happy as you could be and you just can't.

Whether you are brand new to therapy or have years of experience, I look forward to helping you on the next part of your journey! Although we haven’t met yet, I accept you exactly as you are. I celebrate all of my clients’ unique identities and encourage them to find pride in themselves. I particularly enjoy working with clients who have felt othered or judged by society, including LGBTQIA+ individuals, geeks and gamers, Wiccans and Pagans, neurodivergent people, and anyone else who is looking for a safe, non-judgmental space to feel truly heard.

Thank you for visiting my page, I hope I can help you with your healing journey. I serve clients of all ages who have experienced traumatic events now or in the past, that is still affecting them today. Sometimes trauma or past experiences can get in the way of feeling happy and fulfilled. I am passionate about helping people to heal, become more resilient and self-aware. I work with ACT (Acceptance commitment therapy) and also include mindfulness and a person-centred approach in my work with clients.

Morning hits you like a bag of bricks - trying to remember if you slept at all. The rumblings of fear in your chest and nausea in your stomach started several weeks ago. You put them on the back burner hoping they would go away and things would get better, but now the anxiety is turning into moments of panic and depression. Worries about your family, your health, being able to provide...the anticipation of what will come all play in the back of your mind. The more you try to hold it all together, the worse it gets. The loss of a world as you know it and fearful anticipation leave you feeling shut down, isolated, and powerless.

Sometimes, life can feel hopeless or overwhelming. Sometimes, we find that the coping tools we have relied on are no longer working to manage the altered reality around us. Sometimes, we all need help, and reaching out is the first step. My approach to therapy is client-centered and eclectic, but I believe in focusing on individual strengths and finding solutions-focused methods to address individual problems. With experience living and working in diverse societies, I seek to understand your unique cultural perspectives and values. I use cognitive and behavioral approaches, but I am open to adjusting my techniques.

I am dedicated to working with individual adults of all ages who are struggling with depression, stress, anxiety, and grief, among many other life challenges. By exploring and processing thoughts, feelings and behaviors together, we can work to promote change and enhance your quality of life. I have a special interest in working with adults navigating major life stage transitions, such as with chronic illness and changes that come with aging. I address these concerns, which can include anxiety, grief, dementia, end-of-life issues, and caregiving, in ways that embody compassion, dignity, and respect.

Finding the right therapist is sometimes the hardest part of the counseling process. The challenge of matching a therapist's personality and approach to counseling with a client's needs can sometimes feel like trial and error, but is a vital part of the process. I believe that the start of any new relationship, therapeutic or otherwise, begins with building rapport and simply becoming comfortable with each other. Once established, the real work can begin.

Seeking out help can be hard. But it’s a brave first step in working with issues that hold us back on our journey of healing and self discovery. I work with clients that find themselves feeling stuck or dissatisfied in various aspects of their lives, be it relationships, family dynamics, or careers. I also specialize in adolescents (and their families) who struggle with self worth and discovering who they are in the midst of a challenging stage of life. I believe in the importance of understanding how our past experiences and family dynamics shape who we are as unique individuals.

People are constantly moving towards life or moving away from it. My goal is to help individuals gain the skills to recognize these shifts but there is no cookie-cutter approach to therapy. By maintaining respectful curiosity for their unique story clients' values are clarified and their realities expanded. Someone I really admire once said, "you don't know what you think until you've said it." However which way you may be feeling "stuck" in life I invite you to come figure it out with me.

Let's face it. You've tried therapy before. It wasn't for you, and truly people don't understand you anyway. What would happen if you tried it one more time?

We can navigate through this together. As your therapist, I commit to supporting you on this adventure and beyond!

I am now offering ketamine assisted therapy in my practice. I have an online ketamine group starting March 25, 2024! Is this you? You’re frustrated because you thought you had a plan for your life, and things aren't working out the way you hoped. You feel guilty for being drained all the time. You look like you have it all together from the outside, but you’re falling apart on the inside. You’re scared that if you say no, you’ll lose important relationships. You’ve tried talk therapy and are ready for something deeper.

Are you seeking a relaxed, non-judgmental space where you can share your story and move past what’s been holding you back?

My practice embodies a collaborative style, utilizing trauma informed, values-centered, mindfulness, and mind-body approaches. I take a unique and creative approach with each client. My work is informed by respect for, and acceptance of, clients and learners: recognizing the inherent value of all, regardless of station, race, religion, sexual orientation, sexual identity, or ability. I believe in the power of community and the responsibility of each to do what they can to repair the world as we know it.

This is your sign that you’re ready to live a life that is true to yourself, working through your past and finding ways to accept and trust yourself. In my office, you have permission to abandon the hustle of life and move slowly, intentionally, and in ways that feel good for you. If sitting in a chair feels stifling, we can take our session outdoors in a walk therapy session. And no need to get all dressed up for our sessions, they aren’t interviews. You can come into session just as you are, after a workout, before work, in sweatpants—there is no requirement for how you have to be.
