Therapists in Belton, TX

Are you experiencing difficulty in keeping and developing good, solid relationships with those you love? Has anyone in your family deployed to the Middle East only to return with some form of combat stress - and can't seem to shake it? Perhaps you or someone close is feeling anxious or depressed about life and can't seem to come out of it on their own. However, it is more than possible to get past those disturbing thoughts and feelings and enjoy life again. Person of faith? At your request, I can also offer a spiritual perspective along with a warm, personable approach.

As Soren Kierkegaard says, “Life is not a problem to be solved but a reality to be experienced.” I have years of training in forensic psychology and counseling techniques dealing with adolescents, adults, individuals, couples, and marriage and family counseling. My specialization includes group therapy in areas of intimacy and addiction. I am specialized in dealing with moderate and more serious mental health issues especially anxiety, impulsivity, and depression.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Texas and New Mexico, offering a personable approach to psychotherapy for Couples & Individuals. I have experience working with all types of mental health disorders in various settings (individual, group, couples, family). My focus is on personal wellness for the individual and the family system. My goal is to work on the issues at hand using the most up to date research proven methods. I am passionate about empowering clients to find their voice & gain insight in a supportive & non-judgmental environment.

Your partner is arguing with you about a fight from last week. He’s raising his voice, but all you hear is a voice in your head saying, “How did we get here?” You once shared a deep sense of connection and understanding and now barely make it through the week without bickering. It breaks your heart. The spark between you is gone, and the only time you’re fired up is while blaming one another. It’s devastating to feel the dreams you shared slipping away from you. You’re lonely, misunderstood, and there is a chasm in your bed that’s impossible to cross. You miss the intimacy and love you used to have. You miss your partner's love.

I believe that all people have the ability to grow and heal. As a counselor, I work with individuals, couples, and families, tailoring my approach to address clients’ specific needs in order to develop a safe, non-judgmental environment in which clients feel empowered to make positive changes. In our sessions, I’ll help you identify and address behavioral patterns and underlying issues to create lasting change. To ensure your needs are being met, we’ll work together to state your needs clearly and create healthy boundaries.

You don't have to suffer in siIence anymore. In our fast changing world, finding balance can be difficult and may even seem impossible at times. Feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and the thoughts of giving up make it hard to push forward when you have conflicting goals, objectives, and situations in your life. They can seem to happen all at once, and it feels like they are all demanding our energy, thoughts, and immediate choices in order to progress and change. Anxious or depressing thoughts and feelings accompany the trying times of life, and therapy can be a way to get yourself and/or your family up to optimal functioning.

I am not queso, I'm not for everyone. But if you’re looking for someone to work through the waves of life, then I’m your person! There are plenty of people out there to give you advice and tell you it’s going to be okay, you don’t need another cheerleader in life. Together we will work as a team to look for root causes and solutions for whatever life is throwing your way. My passion is working with Veterans, First Responders, their spouses and families. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked as a First Responder for over 20 years and continue to work on the ambulance part-time.
