Marriage Counseling Therapists in Dripping Springs, TX

Does it feel as though you and your partner are worlds apart? Do you remember a time when you both felt so in love, and you wonder how you could ever wind up where you are today? Does the idea of getting back to that place seem like such a daunting undertaking you wonder if it's even possible? I've worked with countless couples who have answered "yes" to each of these questions and are now living the relationships and marriages they always wanted. This is a possibility for you too, if you're both willing to do the work to get there.

Each of us is complex with a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspect.

As a psychotherapist and wellness coach I empower people to live mindful, intentional lives. By focusing on your strengths and abilities as much as your concerns, I offer a collaborative partnership that's focused on meeting your goals and giving you the keys to success.

If you are looking for a listener because you need to talk to about: conflict in your marriage, unbearable family relationships, step parenting challenges, frustration with ADHD - yours or someone else's, scary new life transitions, healing from a traumatic event or relationship, or a constant nagging sadness or anxiousness that just won't go away, then we should talk!

My practice centers around teaching people principles on how to access their own innate psychological health, and how to utilize this understanding for their own well-being. This can include a healthier concept of self, a more productive way of viewing difficulties and overcoming challenges in life, and how to establish more meaningful relationships. I help client's suffering from depression, anxiety, attention issues, addictions, emotional regulatory disorders and relational conflict learn skills such as CBT, DBT, 3 principles training, and mindfulness to help better their lives. Teaching new skills is an integral part of my practice.

I believe we are all inherently strong, intelligent, and creative beings, capable of working through even the most chaotic of circumstances, and that we are designed to learn and grow from such experiences. Moreover, I believe we are all ultimately capable of becoming the designers of our lives, creating peace, joy and love as common life experiences for ourselves. My intention as a therapist is to appreciate your unique experiences and views into yourself, and to work with you as you strive toward your highest potential.

Welcome. Therapy is an important form of self-care. Anxiety, depression, grief & loss, life transitions, and relationship conflicts are often issues that lead people to seek a counselor. Or sometimes a person has experienced an upsetting or even life-threatening event. For close to twenty years I have assisted individuals, couples, and families in working through these and other concerns. While many may encounter similar difficulties, each person is unique, and your strengths, intuition, and creativity are key in your movement toward well-being.

It is an honor and a privilege to journey alongside you as we work towards understanding the barriers that are preventing you from meeting your goals.

As we journey towards your goals, I will offer support, encouragement, and tools to help facilitate lasting change.

I love what I do! I connect well with my clients, and I particularly enjoy working with individuals struggling to make the transition from adolescence to adulthood - no matter the age. This is often a challenging time during which counseling can help assess expectations and establish boundaries for yourself and with others.

I am happy to consult with you and answer any questions you may have about the counseling process.

Do you struggle sharing your thoughts & feelings with your partner? Do you minimize the conflicts in your relationship out of fear? Are you easily distracted when listening to one another? I know how this feels because these have been my struggles too. As someone living with ADHD, I've learned to trust my partner and implement tools to overcome distractions. Feeling deeply connected to your partner can be challenging when you feel pulled in so many directions. From screaming kids to work stress, lack of support, or being absolutely exhausted. I'm passionate about helping people find each other again amidst the chaos of life.

Life is sometimes hard. Whether by circumstance, loss, relationships or simply having your fill of the same dissatisfying patterns, I provide safe haven and professional expertise to ease the burden and enlighten your path. Live your best life.

I believe that it takes tremendous courage for an individual to reach out for counseling. People often take this step when they are feeling stuck or stagnant, unable to find relief and solutions on their own. I view my work with my clients as a partnership: I bring clinical knowledge and experience to the alliance and my clients bring their strengths, their inner wisdom, and their readiness to explore. While working together I provide a safe, comfortable and informative environment in which the client can find healing, seek solutions and create strategies that will bring about lasting change.
