There is more to life than coping, and you are not a walking problem. You might be seeking counseling because you are suffering, but it is my hope that you find a life worth truly living. My clients struggle with everything from internalized hopelessness, people pleasing, "playing small," and social anxiety to anger, highs and lows, reactivity and addiction. These really are intelligent ways of adapting for a specific point in time, but they prove to be pretty maladaptive by the time the search for counseling begins.

At Psychotherapy Associates, we believe in providing a safe, nurturing and effective psychotherapy to individuals, couples, children and families in crisis or other major life transitions. We also offer play therapy, EMDR for teens and adults, as well as court and CPS-mandated services for all age groups. Additionally, we work very closely with doctors, pediatricians, schools and other specialists out in the community to provide the best continuity of care for our clients. If we can be of help to you or someone you care about, please call or email us today for more information or to make an appointment with one of our counselors.

Welcome. We all seek out therapeutic support for different reasons. Some of us have survived painful life experiences that we can't seem to get past. Others are stuck in the cycle of anxiety or depression and have not found resolution. Some of us still react out of survival skills that we may have needed as a child, but can't stop them from coming up in our present life. I create a container that enables you to heal your nervous system, build emotional resiliency and shift harmful mental beliefs. I want to help my clients find resolution, not relief.

I help others fine-tune their lives so that their pain is smaller and their joys are greater. Through compassion, respect, and working together, I strive to create a strong and trusting relationship with each and every client in order help them reach their goals. I am specializing in the treatment of anxiety, depression and relationship issues, trauma, abuse, attachment issues, low self-esteem, personality disorders, and stressors. If you're looking for extra support through a challenging situation, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. Please call or email me.

Are you struggling to create meaning or purpose in life? Are you feeling stuck -- unable to make decisions or move forward? Do you tend to feel lonely or misunderstood? Know that you are not alone. These are dilemmas most everyone wrestles with at one time -- or many times throughout life. My passion is to join with clients in the exploration of these issues and the vast spectrum of others that may be connected and entangled within. It can be difficult to untangle these knots, but the work can lead you to emotional freedom, fulfillment, and acceptance.

I am a therapist trained to listen, nurture and work with you. This might be repairing relationships, healing from trauma, recovering from addiction, managing anxiety or depression.  I see clients both face to face in my office as well as online within the state of Texas through HIPAA-compliant confidential video. Clients come to therapy when life is not working. Joining with a therapist allows patterns to be investigated and altered, insight to be gained and distress to be tolerated. With guidance, clients set goals for therapy and I work to meet those goals. They are a benchmark for progress.
