Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Ingram, TX

Change is not easy sometimes and we will go through it with love towards self. It is our self-doubt and often our lack of confidence in our basic goodness that hinders our progress. I have helped many find the self-compassion needed for self-healing and with that a much more mindful approach to life. I have been down the road of mental health challenges. There are many ways I used therapy technics and mindfulness practice to help develop a much more balanced self. I am confident I can help you find the richness in life that you deserve.

Some people will throw rocks on your path, it depends on what you make with them, a wall or a bridge? Allow me to assist you in building a path to bliss and happiness. I can help you unlock your unique treasures whether you are a student, adult, or grandparent. I've worked with male/females from anxiety issues to suicidal ideations. I enjoy working with individuals of all walks of life who have had to face unique challenges. I, also, offer spiritual and life coaching retreats in Cozumel. I enjoy working with teens, women, young couples, military/law enforcement and LGBTQ individuals. Find my books on Amazon.

I recognize that you are the expert on you. My desire is to work collaboratively with you to enable you to reach your identified goals. If you are worried you can't afford counseling, please discuss your concerns with me. I will work with you as much as possible!

I enjoy helping clients of any age relieve stress and negative energy and become more effective in relationships and the art of living. I work with each persons specific goals towards a more holistic life.

As a counselor, I come alongside people who are in a difficult place in their life. Earlier in my life I needed someone to walk with me during a hard time, and I found the counseling process to be life changing and life giving. It changed how I see and relate to life, people, God, and myself. If you are struggling with your relationships or marriage, if you battle with depression or anxiety, are lacking hope, grieving deeply, or if you just feel stuck, I would like the opportunity to walk alongside you and help you process what change and living life differently would look like for you.

As a licensed psychologist with 20+ years experience, I've developed expertise in multiple areas including adjustment problems faced by adults (individuals and couples), and family problems, especially those stemming from divorce, blended family, and caregiver stressors. I have extensive experience with psychological testing and assessments and diagnosis, for clinical and forensic purposes. I am dedicated to the privacy and dignity of my patients.

My primary focus is to facilitate the empowerment of the individual to reach his/her fullest capacity for optimum health and happiness. In the addictions problems, rehabilitation toward these goals is essential in the recovery process.

My job is to help people live happier lives. My office is a continuing education service for all who enter. The goal for me, and hopefully for the person I am working with, is to learn from each other through the change agent of conversation. After 40 years of experience, my belief is that humans never really change until what they have done is working anymore, is broken, and/or gone. Thus change begins with loss, some small and some life ending. At these moments of transition, learning how to let go is the lesson, whether we like it or not. Whatever big change you are going through, positive or negative begins with an ending.

Struggling with the ebb and flow of depression or the unpredictable waves of mood changes? Envision a journey where healing from past traumas and navigating relationship conflicts becomes a path to empowerment. In this compassionate space, growth and self-discovery are nurtured, guiding towards the development of healthier coping mechanisms and effective strategies for mental well-being. It's about transforming challenges into resilience, deepening self-understanding, and embracing a future of emotional stability and fulfillment. Embrace the journey to a more self-assured and balanced life.

The individual experiencing depression, anxiety, addiction, anger, and\or relationship issues is the individual I enjoy working with. I am stoked working with an individual ready to look seriously into the root of the problem\s and follow suggested recommendations in order to make changes in her\his life.

Many of us struggle on a daily basis with intrusive thoughts caused by traumatic memories, stress, shame, and/or loss of meaning and purpose. We are often left feeling anxious or depressed, angry, and disconnected from the world as we try to make sense of our experiences. If you're like most of us, you've likely learned to cope through addiction, codependency, and mental or physical illness. Yet, you're also keenly aware that your experiences have the potential to transcend pain by creating meaning. The search for meaning gives rise to understanding, and with understanding comes healing.

I understand that clients are experts in their own lives, but sometimes they need help with unwanted thoughts, symptoms, or behaviors. Reaching out for help can be difficult for all kinds of reasons. I want to reassure you with words from Brené Brown “We don’t have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to." I want to help you work on becoming the best version of yourself. Loneliness, social anxiety, and just dealing with a constantly changing world can sometimes make anyone feel out of control. I want to help give you back that feeling of being in control of your life.

I love working with adults, couples, and families who are seeking treatment for substance abuse, eating disorders, and trauma. I also enjoy working with couples who are looking to work through any relational and sexual issues.

I work best with clients seeking to define and engage with the issues that are hindering their ability to function well, be happy and healthy. I am a direct, but not a directive therapist. I believe that given the strategies and tools to navigate through difficult situations most people are capable of doing what is needed to live life to the fullest. That includes one of my favorite populations, teenagers. I also enjoy treating patients, persons who will likely be managing a psychiatric condition throughout their lifetime with a combination of medical management and psychotherapy.
