Reality Therapy in Fort Stockton, TX

Whether you are a teen struggling with adjusting to a new school or changing peer relationships, a college student facing a ticking clock demanding you choose a major, a young professional dealing with navigating the change from youth to adulting, or even an individual dealing with divorce or relationship concerns, I can help. All of these "normal" life changes can be accompanied by feelings of worry, stress, and anxiety that hinder our ability to progress as we need. Therapy is a wonderful means of working through the "noise" caused by anxiety, worry, and stress and dealing with the root of the issues you are facing.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, (1943), "The Theory of Human Motivation", reads: if a person’s basic needs (food, shelter, physical/mental safety) and social needs (love, belonging, self-worth, sense of purpose) are not fulfilled, that person will experience frustration and will “pivot” on a level of need that appears easiest to satisfy. Which level of need are you "stuck" on? Are you bound by anxious, fearful and mind-binding thoughts? Freedom is a goal that can be attained.

My clients and I enjoy a relaxed, conversational relationship. Together, we find ways to empower them toward hope and forward movment in life. By working through situations they are facing, we explore how to help them manage problems in life instead of problems managing the clients.

Maybe you're not sure when or why, but the emotional burdens you have been carrying became heavier. You've been carrying that pain for a while, hoping you could deal with it by yourself. But now, there's also worry, anger, shame, frustration, grief or exhaustion that you struggle to understand and cope with. Maybe you've started wondering if you're anxious or depressed. You thought about talking to someone, but worried that no one would understand, and maybe even judge you.

Could alcohol/drug use be a problem for you? Do you have a pattern of use that is consistent in some way? Have you tried to stop, only to find things are getting worse? Do you feel helpless watching a loved one self-destruct before you? Have you tried to talk about the issue only to walk away feeling defeated and confused? Have you come to realize your life is nowhere near where you thought it would be at this time of your life? Do you feel like a stranger in your own house? Do you want peace and a sense of self again? I can help you find both.

Do you struggle with change in any part of your life? Tough for you to make a decision? Are issues of morality and character at the bottom of your relationship conflicts?

I would welcome the opportunity to assist you in developing and implementing a plan for growth.

The hardest part is making that first call. I have over 20 years of experience as a counselor. I love what I do. Call any time for an appointment. 432-248-6449. Or after hours. 325-998-9630. Therapy is cheaper than... Many times I hear people say they cant afford therapy. But if you figure the costs it saves it is money well spent. Divorce? Can cost your thousands and half of everything you own. Grief? Can take years off you your time to enjoy your life. Teen Stress? Can lead to hospitalization or even jail time. Thanks

Hi, I'm an early career therapist who specializes in neurodivergent folks and those who love them! Neurodivergence comes with unique challenges, but also some awesome strengths. I help those with ADHD and ASD learn to swim with the current, and stop swimming against it. I also help spouses, parents, and siblings of neurodivergent people improve communication and strengthen those relationships. I use several therapy methods to help create a cohesive relationship where everyone feels respected and heard. I'm looking for people who are struggling with neurodivergence and want to realign themselves in a positive way!
