Therapists in Schertz, TX

We all have experienced times when life seems challenging. Whether it be a period of transition, ongoing struggles with mental wellness or a loss that can seem overwhelming. You don’t have to go through these times alone. And in these moments, you might benefit by chatting with a counselor. I specialize in working with adults in the following areas: LGBTQ+, anxiety, depression, ADHD, chronic illness, unconventional relationships, divorce, infidelity, self-esteem, grief/loss and trauma. I use a combination of skills and interventions to foster resiliency and empower clients to reach their individualized goals.

Have you had an experience that was traumatic, or a history of early childhood trauma that has a grip on you, limiting the joy and love you want in your life? Childhood traumas can result in severe physical and emotional trauma to a survivor and their loved ones. Whether it happened two weeks or two decades ago, sexual trauma can cause sexual, intimacy and relationship issues, symptoms of PTSD or borderline personality disorder, suicidal ideations, problems with memory, etc... Seeking help is a courageous step in transcending harm and regaining power and control over your body and life.

I sought to be a counselor to help others become the best version of themselves in order to live their best lives. I am a retired Major in the United States Army with 23 years of military service. My military assignments have ranged from Topographic Non-Commissioned Officer, Horizontal Engineer Company Commander, Brigade Engineer Battalion Executive Officer, and Combat Engineer. I have dedicated my career to taking care of soldiers and their families. My husband, Daniel Carrizales, is a retired Gunnery Sergeant in the Marine Corps. I have four girls (ages 27, 25, 22, & 17), two boys (ages 20 & 13), and five lovely grandchildren.

Accepting new clients (individuals, teens, and couples.) I am a dedicated counselor committed to providing top quality services to all my clients. My primary specialty is working with couples, but I have a variety of experience in the counseling field working with teens suffering from self-esteem issues, women struggling with anxiety and boundaries, men's issues, parenting woes, spiritual growth development, and military family issues. If you find yourself feeling overly stressed, avoiding the people you love, or overwhelmed with normal daily tasks, therapy can help you feel empowered again.

NOW OFFERING ON-LINE OR TELEHEALTH SESSIONS ONLY. Reaching out is not easy, and starting your healing journey is less so. Feeling sad, anxious, fearful or hopeless can be scary and lonely for someone who has no idea where to start to get better. While many of the topics shared by my clients are hurtful and frightening, I also find humor can be helpful. I strive to be honest and transparent with my clients while providing them with a safe, non-judgmental space in which to explore all issues you're dealing.

As a first-generation Mexican-American, I am sensitive to the multi-cultural needs of my clients.

My clinical experience has provided me with the abilities to work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues related to trauma, depression, stress management, grief, parental support, and substance use.
