Therapists Beginning With W in Texas

As a young adult, I was haunted by a foggy knowing that I could feel less empty, irritable, overwhelmed, and stressed in my body and mind. More clear and relaxed in connection to myself and everyone around me. This foggy knowing led me to study psychology, so I could find my remedy and this learning led me to become a therapist so I could help folks find theirs. Part of what I've learned so far, is there are aspects of our culture, which encompasses our ways of being, thinking, feeling, that get in the way of accessing our remedy, our self-at best.

Life can be challenging and at some point, those “challenges” can be a bit more than we know how to tackle on our own. Whether you are simply seeking a healthier lifestyle, focusing on managing relationships, or needing support to get through a life-altering crisis or traumatic event, therapy can help. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, bi-polar disorder, grief or any other issue, there is hope. You may feel hesitant at first to seek assistance, but once you do, you will feel more confident knowing you are taking the beginning steps to a better life and more improved you.

No two journeys to or through parenthood are the same and no one should ever feel that they have to navigate it on their own. I am dedicated to working with women, individuals, children and families throughout the perinatal period from preconception through the first-year post-delivery and on throughout parenthood and into childhood. I provide professional psychotherapy and play therapy to clients in office as well as online throughout the state of Texas. Meet virtually from the space that is most comfortable to you without the hassle of driving across town, taking an extended lunch break, or arranging childcare.

I've never seen anything as beautiful and thrilling as watching the heart of a man or woman set free from what have has held it captive for years. As I sit with you, I will be privileged to walk with you through your struggles and wounds and watch freedom begin to take form. Suffering and abuse and all sorts of wounds occur, and the result is that we develop self-protective strategies that hamper relationships. Whether I'm working for your marriage or yourself as an individual, my commitment to you is to try to help you identify lies and embrace truth.

It has never been more imperative that we take care of our mental health and wellness. There is so much to decompress from daily, that sometimes we find ourselves overwhelmed. Sometimes you want to find a therapist that will support you, and other times you may be looking for direction and challenge. During this time of the Pandemic and ongoing political and social unrest, consider caring for yourself, first. As you grow this work into consistent practice, you will find more gratitude and mindfulness even during difficult times. I look forward to serving you.

I adhere to the belief that there is a close relationship of mind, body, and spirit, and that optimal health care involves consideration of all three. I am a state-licensed therapist LCSW-S/LCDC in my professional discipline. In addition to maintaining these clinical standards, I will also help clients build upon their faith resources when appropriate. Clinical services are available to people of all faith traditions and to those who do not claim a religious identity. I provide services to many in the community who would otherwise not be able to afford counseling.

I am a dedicated professional committed to providing quality mental health services. It is my overall goal to enhance the quality of life for individuals and families. My belief is that all people are valuable and unique and should be treated with dignity and respect. While recognizing the potential for change, an assessment of the client's emotional, physical, spiritual, and life experience is provided in a caring environment. The growth of the individual/family is promoted through a course of treatment developed and executed in a manner most suited for you.

The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination”(Carl Roger’s). Do you feel that your values & needs are out of alignment with how your are actually living? Are your relationships struggling or are you feeling trapped in a cycle that is unsatisfying. Achieving balance and authenticity is an important component of the healing process & my goal is to help clients achieve a deeper awareness, confidence & stability. Anxiety/depression can be unbearable and sometimes immobilizing; relationship problems can weaken our capacity for experiencing happiness; this can leave us feeling hopeless and empty.

Are you overwhelmed by your stress, emotions, or current ways of thinking? Maybe you are struggling with anxiety, depression, a romantic or family relationship, decision, or difficult adjustment/transition period? Regardless of what you are facing, I work from a belief that all people have resiliency to face life's challenges-and my role is to help you find that strength within yourself. With every client, I am genuinely interested in learning more about you and how I can be most helpful-which means I will use an individualized/customized approach, as opposed to a "one-size fits all" treatment.

Are you struggling with understanding why certain events or patterns are happening in your life? Whether it's with relationships, personal life events, or even just the day-to-day things, it can sometimes be difficult for us to see ourselves with 20/20 vision. This is where I can help. By carefully examining the past, working mindfully with the present, and aiming at the future together we can break patterns, change perspectives and grow emotionally.

I believe that every person is capable of healing. Therapy should be a partnership between therapist and client, and together, we will find a therapeutic method that works well for your family. My primary areas of focus include working with adults, children and families to address needs related to behavioral struggles, depression, anxiety, and relationship disruptions. I believe that play is the universal language of children, and that through play therapy experiences, children are able to make sense of their world and heal.

I have experience in counseling those that are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, stress management, and self-esteem. I work to help clients take back control of their own feelings, and to know that they can reach the goal of becoming their best self. I aim to help adolescents and adults build healthy boundaries and change negative thinking patterns in order to live a more fulfilling life. My hope is to help clients see all the positive qualities that they hold in an effort to promote genuine self-love.

Has your relationship reached a point of frustration and hopelessness? You may not know how you got here, or maybe you know exactly what has caused the drift. Many events such as an infidelity, financial hardships, parenting challenges, a new baby, job loss, mental health can affect the stability of a couple.

I believe that therapy is for anyone seeking to improve their lives and their relationships. Sometimes life gets difficult to manage and we feel overwhelmed by expectations of ourselves and those around us. You may find it difficult to understand past experiences that remain hurtful or that continue to cause difficulty in navigating current relationships both personally and professionally. Traumatic experiences, grief/loss and life transitions can leave us feeling lost, doubtful, anxious and depressed. What if I told you that you can find the peace you need to live a life fulfilled? Well…you have already taken the first step!
