Therapists in Ingram, TX

Are you Alternative? Think "outside the box"? Are you regaining / retooling your Self Worth and Relationship Skills? I can help. Over the past 34 years as a therapist, I find clients I work well with want a nonjudgmental, alternative knowledgeable/ friendly, expert therapist. I also work well with those that are or have experienced a life transition as well as the loved ones of those adjusting to their partner's (or family member's) life transition. I appreciate working with folks that have or are seeking to build their sense of self and balance within themselves and with others. I am L,G,B,T,Q,P,A,K, allied and informed.

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.

I am warm, direct and non-pathologizing, helping clients seek practical solutions in the present to deal with challenging problems. My focus is to seek the deeper meaning inherent in problems using humor and honesty. I have strong belief in the strength of human beings and their ability to change and heal. The majority of my clients complete their work in ten sessions. For persons with more complex histories, e.g., trauma, we will work until we are done.

Welcome! I am accepting new clients, both in person and online. Therapy is a supportive tool that can start as early as 4 and as seasoned as someone in their 80's. Perhaps you are navigating a life transition and are unsure of where to go next? Or you feel ready to process that traumatic experience? In a collaborative environment you can discover your inner strength and realize within you is the ability to heal.

I love what I do! I am a compassionate, nonjudgmental, and caring individual who has gone through painful life experiences myself and have likewise experienced the freedom and peace of healing. I am an experienced, skillful clinician who treats adults, adolescents, and children who are experiencing anxiety, insecurity, nightmares, depression, emotional reactions to trauma, stress, grief, guilt, and/or anger. I diagnose and treat children's' issues including ADHD, separation anxiety, divorce issues, anxiety, depressive disorders, autistic spectrum disorders, behavioral, social, school, or academic problems. I teach parents to implement structure & behavioral techniques that really work!

Feelings of hopelessness and anxiety can become paralyzing, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and stuck. It’s easy to resort to unhealthy thoughts and behaviors to cope with life’s endless challenges. Are you using drugs, alcohol, shopping or food to avoid your fears and emotions? Are you drowning in the should haves and what if’s? I work with clients pre-teen and up who are looking for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, codependency, stress, relationships, sleep disorders, work/life balance and life transitions. I also specialize in working with military-connected clients, first responders and their family members.

I am a counselor, author, meditation teacher, bodyworker, energy healer and intuitive. My specialties include therapy for highly sensitive people, recovery from abusive relationships and therapy for perinatal mental health. I love working with adults and children and including creative interventions such as art and music. My path to becoming a counselor started with my own trauma recovery journey where I learned so much about mind-body psychology, holistic healing, and developed many healing practices including breathwork, kundalini and vinyasa yoga, and sound healing.

My ideal clients are those who show a willingness to have me walk beside them and hold their pain as they seek clarification on the emotions that drive their distress. By seeking treatment to address relationship issues, they discover that other aspects of their experience are influenced by their powerful need to connect with their significant others. I am best suited to treating marital distress and disconnection between teens and their parents. I understand the unique importance of familial relationships and the significant relief that comes when these relationships are repaired.

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.

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.
