Life Coaching Therapists in San Marcos, TX

Warm regards to you! You may be at a place where challenges in life just seem to be too much for you to handle alone. Many people come to counseling and find help to deal more powerfully with the challenges of life. Many situations, emotions and patterns of self-defeating behavior prevent people from living a happy, productive, and satisfying life. Some of these behaviors are in our awareness; while others are not obvious to us. The goal of counseling is to help increase self-awareness, for you to find your best way to function and thrive!

Congratulations on taking the first step toward prioritizing yourself and your mental health. If you are on this site, you have already made progress. Let's talk about how you can continue. Everyday life, in addition to recent stressors, can weigh heavily on our shoulders and we may not realize how it is affecting us until our body starts reacting. If you are feeling overwhelmed, less motivated to do activities you once enjoyed, are lashing out at people you love, come talk to me. You are not alone. These are just a few of the common feelings of a larger issue. I can help you process them and develop a plan for a brighter tomorrow.

Therapists take on a number of different roles in their work. I predominately view my role as guide. The main focus of my practice is helping clients create a balanced and joyful life. The majority of my sessions are conducted through a virtual platform but I also offer in-person sessions in outdoor settings. Conducting sessions outdoors is unique to my practice and is a powerful approach to help clients heal through reconnecting with nature. Clients who live near or on Lake Travis will be able to conveniently access this service. Details of in-person sessions will be further discussed during our free initial consultation.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in addressing the unique challenges faced by young adults and women.

I enjoy working with young adults who are navigating through issues related to personal identity/values, career, and relationships. Our background and past experiences can certainly have an impact on the way we think and feel in the present. Together, we can explore those issues, develop new insights, and take action in order to work towards becoming the best version of yourself. It has truly been a pleasure to witness people grow and improve their quality of life.

I am a licensed social worker dedicated to fostering a safe and inclusive therapeutic space for individuals from diverse backgrounds and experiences. If you are grappling with issues such as depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflicts, or life transitions, I am here to build a supportive and empathetic therapeutic relationship tailored to your needs. My practice serves clients aged 14+, and I welcome teens with a trauma-informed lens and solution-focused strategies.

I believe that we are influenced by social and biological forces, but our life is not fixed because of them. Together we will explore and discover skills and a mindset to cope, resolve, and/or transition into the new chapter that waits. Through our work together, my hope is that you will find meaning and grow from there, not allowing fences that others – or ones you have placed around yourself - to hold you back.

Everyone needs someone in their life to help validate their feelings and experiences. We have a tendency to focus more on our physical body than of our thoughts. Sometimes we may feel depressed or anxious without knowing the reason. Sometimes everything can be perfect in your life yet you still feel this sadness. This is not uncommon and talking to a therapist can help. I use a holistic approach when working with my clients. I provide a safe space with acceptance of who you are. I help my clients create goals for themselves and then we work on accomplishing them together.

**NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** Sometimes it can feel like you are stuck in a pattern and can't find your way out. It can seem like you can't stop doing things that will hurt you in the long run. You find yourself saying, "This is just how I am." The story you believe about yourself- about what you deserve - is what will manifest. That narrative will run your life until you dismantle it, & rewrite it. If you aren't running it, it is running you. " The story always wins™ ". My approach is to help you figure out where you learned these things, & discard those that cause you pain & are no longer productive.

If you’re finding it challenging finding your way back to the flow of life, congratulations for taking the first step! It is not an easy thing to ask for help.

I have been working with Young Adults (age 18 and older), predominantly female or gender queer, for about 19 years now and I love it.

If you are a person wanting more from talk therapy, consider calling me for a video consultation. I have a compassionate ear to listen to your frustration, anxiety, or angry feelings.

I offer individual, couples, and family counseling. Are you wondering how counseling can help you? Sometimes life throws us a curve ball and a specific issue comes up. You and I would consider short term, solution-focused counseling as a strategy to work on your concern. Is there a relationship in your life that feels strained? Our counseling process would likely include working to improve communication patterns and re-discovering the needs of all concerned. For more chronic issues like depression and anxiety, developing coping skills and improving self-talk and self-image can create significant relief in your life.
