Female Therapists in Blanco, TX

I work best with children and adolescents. I also work with the parents occasionally to reinforce the strategies that we are learning. I want to help parents and children to feel better about their self, their relationships, and their future. I have worked in the school system for over 20 years, helping those with various disabilities and mental health issues. I am also a military wife and mother of four who has experience with adjustment problems, separation, and reuniting.

I have over 10 years of experience working in the educational counseling setting for primary and secondary levels. I have a passion for working with individuals who have often felt misunderstood and mistreated by systems in their lives. I work to build a strong trusting and safe relationships with each client I see. My clinical training has afford me the ability to work with a wide variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, and grief.

In my work I have found that people come to therapy when life has thrown them a curve that they are not sure how to negotiate. Whether it be an unmanageable relationship, excessive anxiety, or recurring depression. Therapy is a resource to help you deal with the issues that keep you stuck in old patterns. Through active listening and reflection, I can help you identify contributing facets of the issue. Together we can look at the whole picture and find the best way to move forward.

Whether life has thrown you a curve, or you find yourself on a “hamster wheel” repeating unhealthy patterns, therapy provides an avenue to increase your self-awareness, identify patterns that no longer serve you, and develop resiliency when faced with challenges, all of which will serve to improve your relationship with others and even with yourself. I offer you a safe place to tell your story in an atmosphere of acceptance. Therapy is a lot of work, but it is worthwhile work. When you are ready to understand what happened, when you're ready to stop having the same relationship over and over, I'm here and ready to help.

My clients come from diverse backgrounds, cultures, lifestyles, values, and beliefs. When they walk into counseling, they have found themselves in a place where they feel stuck in life, whether it be from depression, anxiety, addiction, past trauma, or a breakdown in relationships. As a counselor, it is my privilege to walk with them through these “stuck moments” and begin discovering those places of healing, growth, reconciliation, confidence, and trust.

I work with clients with diverse backgrounds and a wide range of mental health conditions. Some of these include, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, and addiction. Additionally, I have worked with individuals facing homelessness, multicultural backgrounds, experiencing prejudice, and supported LGBT+ individuals.

I strongly believe in the power of resiliency and the ability to heal. “No matter how bleak or menacing a situation may appear, it does not entirely own us. It can’t take away our freedom to respond, our power to take action.” ―Ryder Carroll. I found that many concerns brought to therapy can result from unresolved pain or unhealthy coping strategies from the past. With various therapeutic training, I can help clients find the best pathway for their needs. Fear can sometimes be debilitating, so facing fear and building habitation is essential. “A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears.” ―Michel de Montaig.

I am here to assist you with life's challenges, transitions or issues than can be overwhelming and confusing at times. I offer a safe, caring and non-judgemental space to explore options and solutions to your concerns.

I view treatment as a safe space where healing can occur through the process of unpeeling multiple layers of mental and emotional patterns (conscious and unconscious), leading individuals to discover their strengths, true potential and authentic self. In this process, one can feel empowered and inspired to integrate all parts of self, even those hidden from the conscious mind. This delicate work is only possible when trust and alliance are established between therapist and client. The principles guiding this work are unconditional acceptance, compassion and non-judgment.

Navigating through transitions and deepening understanding of patterns and circumstances by accompanying people in a therapeutic way is my goal.

Has life become overwhelming and exhausting? Do you find yourself struggling with depression, anxiety, issues around self-worth, or difficulty navigating life transitions, despite appearing successful and driven in your professional life? Does it sometimes feel like things won’t ever get better? Do you even know where to start? Asking for help takes courage and is the first step on your journey to healing.
