Therapists in Chambers County, TX

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I specialize in working with teens, adults, and couples. I work primarily with adolescents and adults struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideations, self-harm, ADD, mood disorders, attachment issues, personality disorders and grief.

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.

I look at mental health from an integrative perspective. People are best understood and change is best maintained by taking into account all aspects of a person including physical health, genetic influences, cultural identities, behavioral patterns and past experiences. My therapeutic approach emphasizes an appreciation for the complexity and uniqueness of all of my clients. I provide a safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and actions, so that you can better understand yourself and obtain direction on how to grow. I will collaborate with you to create an individualized treatment plan based on your specific needs.

Greetings, Let's take a journey together and discover how you can become your best you. You may have experienced challenging situations that are creating obstacles you want to overcome. We can explore ways to help you develop coping skills, build self-confidence, cultivate a strong sense of self and autonomy. Your ability to make changes and establish healthy choices will help you move toward the confident well-defined individual you can be proud of. We can accomplish this goal together.

Currently taking clients that can answer yes to (4-5 or more) of the following questions: Do you feel that life is a series of events just happening to you?; Do you feel too unique to be understood?; Are the source of the problems in your life a result of other people’s mistakes?; Are you unable to connect and maintain relationships with others?; Do you swing between feeling like the best and worst person in the world? Do you feel overwhelmed and/or controlled by your emotions? Do you feel that your life would be better if everyone around you would just fix everything?

You have great value as a person and deserve to feel that. It's completely normal to feel down, afraid, or inadequate. We all feel this way from time to time. The problem comes in when you have no way to work through and let go of difficult or challenging thoughts and emotions. Therapy is a powerful way for you to develop skills and experience healing so you can live the full life you want to live.

Now accepting new clients online! My story: I thought I could do it all & on my own. I was "ok" ignoring all the signs like panic attacks, staying in bed all day, and obsessing over every little decision, mistake or adversity. I've learned to accept some things & change others by understanding that life is what I CHOOSE IT TO BE! My current goal is to help you diminish suicidal thoughts, express yourself more effectively, and manage your moods. I want you to be "ok" and even better than ok!

It is imperative for individuals to have non-judgmental, empathetic, and compassionate source to deal with the inevitable challenges that arise in life. I enjoy helping clients develop healthy coping strategies and prosocial skills to maximize their quality of life. I value development; therefore, I meet each client where they are and allow them to be actively involved in their therapeutic process. Counseling is a personal experience and finding the right person with whom one can connect with is important. It is my mission to provide a safe and welcoming space for clients to feel comfortable.

Our goal is to help people live more meaningful and satisfying lives. We strive to provide individualized, effective care for the greater Houston area.

I have 20+ years of experience working in psychiatric hospitals, medical facilities, community health centers, pediatric clinics, schools, and residential treatment centers. I offered many years to working with children, adolescents, parents, and families through child protective services, rape crisis centers, shelters, neighborhood centers, and adoption centers. I am experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders including PTSD, Depression, Trauma, Anxiety, & Psychosis including the management of other symptoms that stem from family/ relationship conflict, social difficulties, poor school performance, and violence/ abuse.

Disruptions in relationships regularly occur in life and the experience of feeling disconnected is not uncommon. Many of us have experienced children growing older and leaving home, job loss, retirement, frequent arguments with those closest to us, divorce, separation, and death of loved ones. Some of us have experienced life threatening events, serious illnesses and physical losses that result in a dramatic shift on how we fit into the world and in the lives of others. These events can result in a loss of satisfaction in life or at times a loss of hope in having a life worth living.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS across the U.S. (Psypact states). Life can get stressful and hard at times, so can navigating societal, work, and family issues especially if you’re a person of color, immigrant, child of immigrants or LGBTQIA. Life transitions also require us to accept change but sometimes that may be hard and we can feel “stuck”. My priority is to help you achieve YOUR goals in a way that resonates with who you are, your beliefs, and with your values. I have extensive years of clinical, research, and assessment experience and will provide evidence-based treatment in a supportive, accepting, and collaborative relationship.

Associated with Greater Houston Psychiatric Associates, PLLC. My treatment method involves helping you gain insight, take action, make changes, and accept if change is not possible. I will help manage your struggle with mental illness and will help you through the normal stressors that often accompany transitions in life. The hurt you feel after a separation. The emptiness you feel when your children leave home. The grief you feel from the loss of a loved one. The stress from the unbearable work demands. Whatever the cause, I help with the skills needed to either change the situation and/or the way you think about it.

My passion is treating clients who have endured trauma. I'm trained in EMDR. I combine EMDR with narrative therapy to help clients resolve and reprocess the traumatic event. I love working with clients who suffer from depression, bipolar, and personality disorders. I also work with couples and families who are in crisis. I am also endorsed by the American Psychotherapy Association as a Board Certified Professional Counselor.
