Therapists in Texas

There is no denying that life brings both joy and sorrow. Have you found yourself holding it together and pretending to be ok on the outside but you’re falling apart on the inside? Are you consumed by worry, fear, doubt and constantly question what the future holds for you? Do you feel lost, numb, or alone? If the statements above sound like you, there is hope! You don’t have to go through this difficult time alone. I can help! You and I will work together identifying strengths you already have to improve and navigate the world around you. This therapeutic process may bring laughter and sometimes tears but ultimately healing.

If you're someone with a unique identity who is navigating anxiety and life transitions, and wanting to work with a therapist who understands your story - I'm here to help! Through our work together, I can help you redefine who you are - not just who other people want you to be. You might be a good fit to work with me: if you are exploring your identity as a 2SLGBTQ+ person. If you are a third culture kid or part of an immigrant family. If you're a perfectionist or people-pleaser. If you're reclaiming your sense of self. This is the place for you!

I specialize in helping people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, and problems with interpersonal relationships. My goal with every client is to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I aim to develop a strong therapeutic relationship built on mutual-respect, empathy, authenticity, and trust. I enjoy helping people realize how their past affects the present and the value of learning to recognize, process and manage their emotions in ways that improve their functioning and quality of life.

Perhaps it feels that your authentic self is obscured and you anxiously float through life as an observer. Do you long to be more present and focused with increase personal agency? Distressing experiences may result in your feeling disconnected, fragmented & struggling to make sense of your identity or direction. I collaborate with clients to create a personalized treatment plan and use an integrative approach that incorporates relational, psychodynamic and other trauma-informed interventions. I am trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, Radically Open-Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (RO-DBT) & NeuroMeditation.

Do you wish that someone would listen to, understand, and see the real you? My priority is to create a safe space where you feel heard, valued, and encouraged to proceed at your own pace as we explore how past and present experiences may affect how you think, behave, and feel. In our work together, I will act as a guide walking alongside you on your journey of personal growth. I will help you identify and use your strengths to build resilience, work with you to clarify your goals, teach you skills, help you navigate difficult emotions, and consistently provide support and encouragement.

We all have moments in our lives where we could use a little extra support to get through difficult times. We are all trying to manage the struggles of daily life and all the things that come along with balancing work, relationships, family, friendships, and many other things that surface unexpectedly. I can help you improve your quality of life, establish the tools needed to work through your current struggles & support you in getting back to the joy and excitement you once felt in your life. "If you carry joy in your heart, you can heal any moment" -Carlos Santana.

I am experienced at helping to transform depression, anxiety, relationship problems, addictions, and other struggles through a variety of active techniques: Psychodynamic therapy with a Jungian orientation, expressive arts therapy, imago therapy for couples, action methods for groups, and mindfulness processes. With leaders and organizations, I use a dynamic set of processes that help to transform conflict and develop emotional intelligence and authenticity. I also am a licensed LPC supervisor and train facilitators to use these techniques with their clients.

I work with individuals, couples and families - with an emphasis on exploring how our relationships inform our sense of ourselves, and how the way we experience ourselves informs our relationships. My approach blends a psychodynamic focus on individual experience and perspective with a relational interest in understanding people in context. Clients describe my style as warm, curious, and collaborative. My aim is to create a safe space in which you can express yourself freely, and freely pursue difficult questions. I believe that coming to know yourself is one of life’s greatest privileges and a pre-cursor to relating authentically.

The possibilities for change, healing, and well-being often aren't trusted if you are dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or difficult circumstances. My goal is to provide support and safety for you to explore and understand problems with emotions, relationships, and painful past and present experiences. It is possible to come to terms with difficult issues, accept (not like) these human experiences, and move through them to change.

Entering into therapy with a clinician who is skilled, empathic, understanding, and without judgement is a critical component to a successful therapeutic experience. I view therapy as a collaborative process where you and I work together to define your treatment goals and explore the issues that are of concern to you. I work hard to create a safe, supportive environment where you can share your experiences, elicit feedback, and work towards change. While my primary therapeutic model is psychodynamic, I also take advantage of other modalities, working to meet the individual needs of my clients.

I am a bilingual psychologist who is passionate about offering people a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment in which to grow and explore themselves. I view psychotherapy as being a collaborative experience where the therapeutic relationship drives meaningful change and growth. As my clients experience those uncomfortable "growth spurt" moments, I aim to support them by modeling authenticity and encouraging them to practice patience and acceptance with themselves. It is my personal belief that therapy can not only lead to symptom reduction, but also to greater personal satisfaction and inner tranquility.

Depression, anxiety, relationship issues, loss and grief, mid-life crisis, disappointment and stagnation are only a few of the reasons an individual seeks counseling. My therapeutic approach in working with an individual is to explore the meaning of life-altering events and to bring understanding and enduring ways to cope. I focus on strengths in the individual and work in a warm, non-judgmental way that feels safe. My role is to provide empathic listening and support while acting as a guide in removing the barriers and patterns that have developed over a lifetime.

Whether one seeks relief from anxiety, trauma, relational impasses, or life disillusionment, therapy can help. It is unfortunate that insufficiently engaged approaches to therapy, prohibitive rates, and the unconscionable reluctance of most clinicians to accept insurance fail so many clients, who in good faith seek to discover a healing of heart and mind. As a psychodynamic therapist, I view my role as an empathic change agent employed to help bring about a fuller knowledge of self and a more liberated experience of life and relationship. I also supervise highly promising interns from NWU available for as low as $15-30 per session.

I am dedicated to helping clients improve their lives and achieve self-transformation. This includes learning to cope, manage, overcome and transcend mental health issues. Building mindfulness and emotional awareness is key to understanding how our belief systems and emotions drive our decisions/behaviors. Our sessions will be fully engaged in building healthier thoughts, feelings, emotions, beliefs, values, perceptions, assumptions so that we can reshape our life narrative and see reality differently. Each individual is capable of healing psychological wounds, finding peace and balance, while being centered and present.

There are moments in life when we feel stressed, lost, or overwhelmed. Feeling alone in our struggles can be disheartening. Whether you’ve come to this place because life circumstances have shifted, the day-to-day feels too strenuous to manage, or you’re hurting in some way, we all have unique strengths that can help us navigate these challenges. Therapy is one way to foster those strengths, and when we are given a warm and trusting therapeutic space, we can often find harmony and solutions to our struggles. I focus on helping individuals with anxiety, depression, stress, shame, grief, life transitions, or relationship struggles.

My clients come from diverse backgrounds but all have one thing in common: they are bound by past traumas that continue to control their present day. My primary theoretical approach is one of interpersonal and holistic psychology that draws from acceptance and commitment therapy, psychodynamic, existential, feminist, and multicultural counseling work. I use meditative practice and applied mindfulness as well as a holistic trauma model to allow my clients to find peace within themselves while also equipping them with the skills needed to continue their personal growth after therapy is complete.

Finding the right therapist can be a daunting task - when you are suffering, it can be especially difficult to make this decision. To find relief, you need to be able to connect with your provider, build trust, and explore who you are and your issues in a safe and understanding space. We might be a good fit if you are curious about yourself and want to learn more about how your mind and emotions work, particularly if your thoughts and feelings are interfering with your quality of life, or you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues or have a history of trauma.

My therapy style is open, accepting, genuine and supportive. I employ a range of modalities including positive psychology, solution focused, person-centered, cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic therapies. I tailor my approach to each client's individual needs. I believe that everyone is capable of growth and healing. I am here to support and empower you, and hold a safe space. The therapeutic relationship is an important part of the therapeutic process. Whether I'm right for you or not, I'm happy to communicate more about my style or refer you to someone who better fits your needs.
