Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Leon Valley, TX

"Be transformed by the renewing of your mind," wrote the Apostle Paul. That is my ministry: helping people who feel lost, abandoned, anxious, traumatized, or confused find transformation. Don't let ability to pay stand in your way if you desire real change! I will help you.

Are you ready for change, but don't know where to start? In today's world, it is easy to feel disconnected & lost in the shuffle of everyday life. Do you want to find balance in the midst of your chaotic world? Now with online therapy you can finally get the help you need! As a Board Certified TeleMental Health Provider, I can provide guidance tailored to your unique needs & concerns, & you never have to leave the comfort of your own space. I have extensive experience helping people from all walks of life. I am skilled, sensitive & attentive to your goals & desires for change.

I believe that a person is a whole being, with a mind, a body, and a spirit, and that often we are challenged in the balance and wellness of these parts of us. Every one of us encounters challenges and endures hardships throughout our lives that may upend the different parts of us that make us feel well and whole. Although we share this fundamental human experience, no one person’s journey to find this balance again is exactly the same and in therapy we will gently and compassionately work towards you rediscovering your own footing.

As human beings, we tend to feel overwhelmed with the unbalancing of life. That can look like stress, anxiety, pressure from family or peers. You are not alone. The first step in overcoming is to acknowledge. With you here, you have completed step one. That in itself is a great step forward! More info: www.therapyfocused.com

First, I commend you for taking the next step in your self-care journey. Often times people seek support to find clarity about a situation(s) in their life, to make sense of the way they are feeling, to find relief from symptoms of anxiety and depression, and to find a safe and supportive environment to be seen and heard, and ultimately hearing their true self. If you have been in therapy before and are looking to maximize the benefits of your work, EMDR is a very helpful modality that provide quick results. Please inquire about EMDR if you are interested.

From the outside, you look like you have it all figured out, but inside you feel unsatisfied and highly critical of yourself & others. You find it difficult to fully relax because your mind wanders toward the endless list of things you “should” be doing. You often get caught up in thoughts comparing yourself to others. You may be struggling to feel fulfilled in your relationship with others, and more importantly, yourself. You’re driven, successful, & high-achieving. Everything feels great when things go as planned, but when things go awry, self-doubt creeps in and can show up as feelings of anxiety, depression, grief, & burnout.

Life can bring challenges and, at times, feel overwhelming. During these seasons of life, it can be hard to break away from our negative thoughts or actions. I'm here to help you become a better version of yourself and assist you in ridding yourself of the negative thoughts you may have. My goal is to be a haven for individuals and families and provide them with best support possible so that they can reach their goals in life.
