Buda Family Counseling, PLLC ………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to reach out and connect with a counselor, but it can be one of the best steps towards positive change and growth. It is my goal to provide a safe, nurturing space for clients - a space that will allow clients to explore the different ways in which to embrace change and growth. If you're ready, let's get started.

I welcome all ages and issues in to therapy. I help those who are struggling with relationships, growth, identity, intimacy and communication, or not knowing what to do next.

Do you feel disconnected from your partner-- perpetually trying "reach" him/her, but angry, sad or frustrated at your inability to connect? Or perhaps you find yourself distancing from your partner, avoiding conflict in order to feel safe, only to find yourself "walking on eggshells." You feel the pain of disconnection with the person you love, and you feel stuck; perhaps it even feels hopeless at times. If only you could re-discover the bond that somehow still exists beneath the rubble of fighting, avoiding and blaming. Or, possibly your struggles are more individual than relational?

Do you feel like your moods are unstable? Do you feel like you have too much stress in your life and you're not handling it as well as you would like? Would you like to gain insight into your present behaviors and relationships? While difficult situations are an inevitable part of life, you and I can work together to resolve and overcome your challenges. I help people with a variety of issues including mood and anxiety disorders, chronic illness, stress, substance abuse/dependence, life transitions, personal growth, grief and loss, trauma, self -esteem issues, and self-injurious behaviors.

Women, young adults, and teen girls experience many unique stressors. We face outside pressures from society, family, and friends about how we should act, look, or feel. Are you are in a crisis situation, going through a separation/divorce, struggling with the demands of school, peer pressure, parenting and/or step parenting? Do you feel like you don't have the strength to handle it all or that you have lost yourself in the process.

One thing that you will quickly learn about me is my passion for people. I strive to care for others no matter the journey they are on. I value the story that each individual holds and have a curiosity about life and people that benefits me well when working with clients. My expertise is primarily working with teenagers and their families. The teenage years can consist of a lot of change, growth, and sometimes turmoil for all members of the family. I find it essential and necessary for young people to be able to work and process through this life stage in a safe and trusting environment.

In our society today, self-care is so often put to the way side and put off for "another time." I commend you on taking this step in seeking the support and help you are needing today. I would be honored to help you address the obstacles or transitions presenting a challenge in your daily living. It is my life's passion to guide people through the difficult journey of healing and unveiling of their own self-love, acceptance and understanding.
