Therapists in Canyon Lake, TX

As a relational therapist, I believe subconscious beliefs and programming are responsible for many of our self-sabotaging behaviors. These impact our relationships and are typically inherited during our upbringing. I choose to work with clients who are struggling with the same patterns that have plagued them for far too long, and who are looking to make a serious change in their lives. I also work with clients who are simply feeling lost and looking for guidance in finding themselves. My ideal client is anyone looking to empower themselves and care for themselves, or their relationship mind, body, and soul.

COUNSELING. What does it mean when we hear that word? To some its intimidation, fear, broken, and some may even think judgment. All of those definitions could not be further from the truth. We all have times in life when we need to clarify our perspective on life's challenges and opportunities. Counseling is an avenue to provide encouragement and assistance to those facing various life challenges. Sometimes we are unable to conquer serious challenges alone. I am able to provide the help and support needed to achieve that next level.

I'm here to help people needing support in navigating through life's difficult situations. Do you need help with personal growth, or guidance to feel more like your true self. My aim is to provide a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings to reach your goals. Sometimes talking or seeing things from a different point of view helps ideas fall into place. Natural supplements and coping skills assist with sleeping, pain, and emotional duress. Relationship problems tend to be eased by talking things through and using adapted materials in session and/or homework.

Depression, Anxiety and low self esteem, hinders our Happiness, peace of mind. If they are keeping you stagnant, it's time to get some professional help. My knowledge originates in the wisdom of the East and the pragmatism of the West. One encourages us to be patient with ourselves to nurture slow and steady progress.The other helps us guide our thoughts and feelings into action. Both approaches enable me to listen to your concerns and help you find the solutions you need. I encourage you to call or email, to see if we can make a team towards your future emotional growth.

You're stressed and exhausted from all you have to face. You’ve been following the same pattern with relief and progress out of reach.
