Accepting clients Apr 2024. Without judgment, I help clients overcome addictions to alcohol, weed, sex, food, and hard drugs by helping them face the very difficult triggers behind the addictions itself (such as unaddressed depression, trauma, and self esteem, etc; I particularly work with sexual addictions). This approach can be very emotionally difficult, so I recommend only clients who are ready for major life changes apply.

Recognizing the individualized nature of life experiences, I adopt an eclectic approach, integrating diverse counseling techniques and theories tailored to your unique needs. Whether grappling with depression, navigating anxiety, confronting life's complexities, or addressing other mental health issues, our collaborative efforts aim to alleviate presenting concerns and symptoms.

I specialize in helping people deal with the natural ups and downs of life, as well as overwhelming experiences that leave a more lasting impact. Whether you're moving through grief or healing from trauma, I empower clients to create lasting change through self-discovery and skill building. I am also trained in eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) for individuals who have found they need more than talk therapy alone.

I am a licensed social worker and contemplative psychotherapist practicing in Texas. I specialize in helping people return to themselves through understanding and attuning to their nervous systems, while rediscovering the wisdom inherent in their own bodies so that they may fully realize their own purpose and have a better sense of belonging. My philosophy centers around the understanding that a client is always the expert of their own life. It emphasizes the importance of witnessing and supporting the client's personal journey, with the overall aim to assist you in improving the quality of your life and your relationships.

You may be experiencing symptoms and signs of depression that are weighing you down. Are you finding more triggers for anxiety that are impacting your ability to get through your day, such as the worldwide Covid pandemic or current social and political issues? Is your goal to develop healthy relationship boundaries with your significant other? Are you in search of LGBT affirming therapy? If the answer is Yes, this is where I step in. You need a professional support system and advocate to provide you a safe space where you can dig deep into those challenging emotions and begin to work on becoming your most authentic self.

As a counselor, I believe in empathy and open-minded approaches that are receptive to situational changes. I strive to demonstrate unconditional positive regard for all of humankind, so clients can have the space they need to write the next chapter of their story, regardless of how messy it started. I believe individuals best overcome negative changes through the support of secondary sources, and people need both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation to thrive.

Life can be messy–and by messy, I mean painful and joyous and everything in between. Counseling can provide a space where you feel seen, supported, and validated through it all. My approach is grounded in relational-cultural theory and trauma-informed counseling. I have worked with survivors of various losses and traumatic events. These experiences can result in feelings of shame and isolation. For this reason, my practice centers on healing through connection. I emphasize your safety and empowerment throughout the counseling process. I meet you where you are with warmth, non-judgment, and even a little bit of humor.

I am a passionate and dedicated individual known for my open-mindedness, honesty, and attentive ear. I believe that empathy, understanding, and a genuine caring spirit must be present in every interaction that I have with individuals. I also bring a unique blend of sincerity and insight into every session that I have with my clients. I embrace diversity as an open-minded individual, valuing differing perspectives in my clients. I believe that everyone has positive qualities that will help them succeed in life once they can identify, focus, and build on these qualities. My job is to create a trusting, inclusive, and open environment.

Let me guess… you’ve tried therapy before but it didn’t “take.” Or… you’ve tried therapy and all you did was talk for an hour straight while somebody nodded at you, which left you wondering why you were even there in the first place. You’ll notice that most therapy gets caught up asking about your emotions; the proverbial “and how does that make you feel?” Then it’s typical to get caught up in an endless reaction loop, worrying about your emotions and where “they” are going to take you next. But consider this: what if it has nothing to do with your emotions? What if it has to do with your thinking?

Your present circumstances do not determine where you go...they merely determine where you start. — Nido Qubein. Hello! I'm glad you are here. I believe in meeting my clients where they are, providing a safe space to process and learn, and helping them overcome obstacles preventing personal growth. Working through a cognitive-behavioral lens, we will work towards identifying patterns of thoughts and behaviors that do not align with goals for yourself and your relationships.
