Therapists in Bellaire, TX

Throughout my many years of experience, I have seen many clients, each person with a unique set of circumstances to cope with. Anxiety and depression may factor into their life arc, some may be dealing with grief or past traumas, and others may have issues with their self-image. When assessing couples (I am both LPC and LMFT, so I frequently see clients with a variety of needs), I've noticed that the main issues that I offer assistance with tend to be communication issues that then lead to conflict. Clients that come to me actively want to improve their lives, and it is my pleasure to support them by meeting them where they are.

I love what I do. I believe in creating a judgment free and a safe space for my clients where they can explore their world and heal. A place they can feel understood, heard, and seen. I approach my clients with honesty and compassion. Each individual is unique and has had their share of unique experiences. My therapeutic approach is tailored to each individual based on their personality and what they need to work through by empowering and equipping the clients with coping skills and strategies to navigate through life. I work with Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), depression, anxiety, interpersonal relationships, and trauma.

I specialize in helping individuals that have survived adverse childhood experiences and/or who have experienced traumatic events throughout their lifetime. Often, individuals who have trauma may also experience fear, stress, low self-esteem, difficulty forming safe attachments, and emotional pain. I help resource individuals by providing a nonjudgmental and compassionate stance that helps clients make steps towards acceptance and change. Through the process of therapy, clients can expect to be resourced with therapeutic tools and mind-body applications that will help them gain greater self-esteem, security and confidence.

'And the day came when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom' (Anais Nin). It is scary for many of us to risk initiating change in our lives, whether it's in ourselves, professionally, or in our intimate or family relationships. Having come to this site is a courageous first step, and I would like to help you in fulfilling your journey. I offer collaborative counseling/therapy for individuals, couples, and families who want to live more fulfilling lives.

I am a licensed psychologist offering comprehensive psychological and educational services to children, adolescents, and adults. My goal is not just for my clients to experience improvement in symptoms but also to become more flexible and adaptive in general so that symptoms are less likely to return.

Intimate relationships are so important in all our lives! We need to experience them as safe and secure to be okay, to grow, and to thrive. Moreover, problems in those close relationships can throw everything into chaos. It includes problems in the relationship you have with yourself. Let me help you with those problems. Starting from where you are now, you can come to distinguish, prioritize, and meet your core needs; work to resolve the impacts of traumatic experiences, and develop safe secure attachments. Come. Whether we work on these problems with you alone, as a couple, or in a group, your relationships will benefit from it.

I work primarily with adults and adolescents who are having trouble negotiating difficult life stages. I treat both short-term, acute problems and more pervasive, long-standing problems. My years of training, first in CBT, and later in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic approaches allow me to use both in my practice. The client and I decide on treatment approaches based on his or her strengths and preferences.

No two people are alike, so I draw from over 25 years of training and experience as a Clinical Psychologist to help my client's address the problems that brought them in to see me and have a better life. Typically, I rely upon cognitive, psychodynamic, interpersonal, family systems or behavioral approaches, but I utilize whatever works to help my clients get the core of their problems and resolve them. I work with adults, couples, young adults and adolescents, and I accept many insurance plans and private pay. When you're ready to change and have your life work call me.

I earned my B.S. in Biochemistry from the University of Washington in Seattle and my master’s degree in Social Work from New York University in Manhattan, New York. My background prior to private practice comprised diverse settings such as hospital social work, community mental health, and working within the New York City Public Schools. For 5 years I was a family and individual therapist on the Compass Unit for Young Adults at The Menninger Clinic. For the past 3 years I have been the Director of The Eating Disorder Service.

Despite trying your best, you just don't feel like things are getting better. Imagine a life without anxiety, depression, and without conflict in your relationships. Imagine the weight that would be lifted off your chest! If you are stuck ruminating about the problems in your life and are having trouble sleeping, therapy can teach you powerful techniques to help you go from stressed to calm and teach you how to have peace in your relationships. If you're not sure if therapy or Wilson Counseling is right for you, call to schedule a free 10 minute phone consultation. You can change your life with just a little help.

My personal and professional experiences have taught me that people are largely defined by their experiences of connection to others. I believe that relationships can be the source from where psychological distress can arise and can be resolved. Given these beliefs, I have come to take a theoretical approach that incorporates theory and techniques from multiple approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, systems, multicultural and feminist theories, and selectively combine them into an existing conceptual model, interpersonal process theory. Using this approach, the relationship serves as the foundation on which to address behaviors, thoughts, feelings and interpersonal patterns that impede effective functioning.

If you've dreaded going to bed because you know it will be yet another night of tossing and turning, you know how desperate you can be to get some shuteye. Odds are high you're reading this at 3am. You may have tried everything--medications, natural supplements, meditation, oils, etc.--and nothing seems to work! It can be frustrating when you used to sleep so easily. You begin to feel like your insomnia has a life of its own, feeling drowsy on your commute to work, drinking cup after cup of coffee to make it through your day. You look on jealously at your partner or kid, who seem to sleep so effortlessly. It's just not fair!

Therapy can help change your life in remarkable ways. You may be dealing with depression, anxiety or trauma that holds you back from living your life fully. You may have encountered a rough patch in an important relationship. Or perhaps you've lost someone or something important and need someone to walk through the mourning process with you. Finding the right therapist, someone who is trustworthy and experienced, with whom you can connect and feel safe, is essential to a satisfying and helpful therapeutic process. My goal is to create such an atmosphere for you.

My ideal client is one who is motivated and committed to improving their mental health and well-being. There is intensive work, time and effort that is essential to the therapeutic process in order to make meaningful changes. I don't expect client's to have it all figured out, but I encourage a growth mindset and gentleness towards self during this process. I am a ride or die for my clients, and I ask for the same level of investment. My ideal client is open-minded, willing to try new things and able to take responsibility for their own progress. Furthermore, honesty and vulnerability are important aspects for us to build rapport.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate at The Menninger Clinic and under the supervision of Angela Koreth, MS, LPC-S.

My previous experiences include the Harris County Juvenile Detention Center, Aid to Victims of Domestic Abuse, and Crisis Intervention of Houston. Currently, I volunteer as a support group facilitator at Bo's Place.

My biggest goal in therapy is to help clients feel equipped to take on each day to their best ability. Whether that means learning and practicing coping skills, using EMDR to re-process past trauma and reduce triggers, growing your confidence and self-esteem, or just allowing space to better understand your thoughts and emotions, I will be with you every step of the way to support you through your therapeutic journey. I am a firm believer that therapy has the ability to truly improve your quality of life and relationships with those around you, and I hope that you will allow me to be a part of your process.
