Therapists in Aledo, TX

I provide a non-judgmental, supportive environment both in person and online based on your needs. I seek to understand your concerns for yourself or your relationship through the use of evidence-based practice and building trust and respect in the therapy practice. Therapy is a partnership where I have learned many skills, but you are the person who knows yourself the best. Growth is built on honesty and transparency and we will use strategies and techniques that aid in healing and clarity within yourself and with each other if you are working with a partner. You may feel isolated or alone or may be struggling. I am here to help.

Struggling with a relationship? Feeling down? Don’t know what direction you’re going anymore? We understand life and relationships can be challenging. But, we also know there can be solutions and easier ways to handle difficult things. You don’t have to keep going around in circles. We can help guide you through the process so you can get back on track and feel good again.

If you are struggling with the effects of trauma or abuse, have depression or anxiety, substance abuse issues, women’s issues, relationship issues, grief or any other life issues, there is help and hope for you. Life can be hard, but it can also be wonderful. Counseling can help. I have the utmost respect for my clients and the strength it takes to seek help. I really enjoy working with my clients to help them find solutions to problems they are struggling with. I have daytime and evening appointments available for client convenience, and my office is easy to locate and has private parking and private entry available, if needed.

I understand how hard it can be to find help. You want someone to hear you, validate your feelings, and give you the tools you need to make your relationship successful, all in a nonjudgmental environment. I love helping my clients have healthier relationships. As a Gottman trained counselor, I can help you break down the walls that have been created in your relationship that divide you and your significant other by utilizing research based techniques. I use the Gottman Connect assessments with couples, which measure success or struggles in key areas such as friendship, intimacy, conflict resolution, household chores, & parenting.

I am here for you, as an experienced therapist who specializes in counseling individuals, couples, and adolescents. Using a holistic approach, I strive to create a caring and safe environment, where you can feel empowered to reach your personal goals. 1) I am highly trained in helping adults and adolescents let go of anxiety using CBT and mindfulness strategies. 2) Another specialty is guiding trauma and PTSD survivors in their personal journey towards healing and reclaiming their life. 3) My practice is also neurodiversity affirming, where ADHD and ADD adolescents and adults can find the tools they need to flourish in life.

I believe psychotherapy should be a transformational experience. We often get stuck in patterns of relating and being that, at one time, were adaptive and protective, but no longer help us to be our best selves. Psychotherapy helps to understand those patterns, develop strategies to disrupt them, and create new ways of being and relating that get us closer to our personal and professional goals.

There is a way forward. A happier and healthier you is attainable-no matter what you have been though. I am most passionate about helping individuals and couples affected by Anxiety or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). And Couples processing a life transition, such as adding a baby to the family.

As a therapist, I am trained in theories and techniques of counseling. However, it is the all important interaction between the client and myself where the art of therapy exists. This art is the rapport established by my value for each client and a high regard for the distinctive qualities they bring to the sessions and their own unique experiences. My practice includes: divorce, pre-marital, marital, family dynamic issues with specialization in life changes from traumatic violence & sexual abuse/dysfunctions & addictions. I believe in encountering clients where they are, with humble respect for what they bring into sessions.
