Adults Therapists in Buda, TX

You wake up in the morning overwhelmed by the day that hasn’t started yet and you’re exhausted from the night before as you laid in bed worrying about the next day. You’re analyzing everything and assuming the worst. You feel like others are upset and jump to conclusions, which are mostly negative. Do you feel like your thoughts are controlling you? Do you want to feel more in control? My practice specializes in treating adults with anxiety and relationship issues. I am confident that no problem is too great to overcome. You can feel better and I can help!

Does your heart break watching your child struggling? How about seeing your teenager who experiencing anxiety or low self esteem? Does your child push you away and want more independence? My child, teen and parenting sessions help you and your family develop positive attitudes towards life's most complex growing pains. Our goals will be personalized and focus on what can be cultivated so we can move through these difficult times together. I specialize in working with preteens, teens and young adults to become more confident, less stressed and empowered to cope with the challenges in their lives. I do offer telehealth.

I specialize in working with children and adolescents, as well as their caregivers. I enjoy working collaboratively with clients and utilizing methods that best fit each individual's needs. I have experience working with individuals dealing with presenting concerns such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief & loss, behavioral difficulties and trauma. When working with children I utilize play therapy, an approach that allows children to communicate through their natural language of play. Underlying all techniques is the personal relationship built with clients. In addition to individual therapy, I provide therapy groups for parents using Child Parent Relationship Therapy.

You're already feeling overwhelmed and things continue piling up. You question whether your unhappiness is situational or if it has something to do with your past. You want to feel better, but life seems out of balance and you feel hopeless. You need help getting back on track and sorting through what is contributing to your low mood, anxious thoughts, or troubled sleep.

I have seen time and time again the transformative impact of therapy on people of all ages. It can restore us to a place of peace and comfort or help us reach new levels of growth and fulfillment. It can help move us beyond the moments we feel stuck, overwhelmed, or alone. Likewise, it can help our children move past their self-doubt, difficulty managing their emotions, or sense of being lost in life. In either case, I want you to know you are not alone, nor were you meant to face the challenges of life without help. I will do everything I can to help you and your family embrace life, overcome challenges, and create possibilities

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.

Do you feel disconnected from your spouse-- perpetually trying "reach" him or her, but angry, sad or frustrated at your inability to connect? Or perhaps you find yourself distancing from your marriage 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; maybe 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?

When life becomes overwhelming it can help to talk to someone you trust. As a counselor my goal is to help you better understand your struggles and how to manage them. Children and teenagers often struggle to explain their feelings to adults , and even their peers, making it difficult to get the support they need. Adults sometimes feel that they need to have it all together and take care of everyone else. This often means not taking care of yourself. I will work with you to tackle the struggles you are facing to find peace and happiness.

Life's a journey, with many unexpected twists and turns. Sometimes we need someone to talk to, someone to share our thoughts and feelings, dreams and fears, and help guide us toward resolution. I want to help my clients navigate this path, and to also experience the possibilities of living their best life possible. I work with older teens and adults , and also specialize in women's issues across the lifespan, as well as those with health concerns. College students are a special interest, as are educators, as I’ve worked as a teacher and school counselor and understand the stress and dynamics associated with the profession.

Do you feel like the obstacles in your life are too big to overcome? Do you feel depression, anxiety, or anger are ruining your chances at happiness? Do you feel overwhelmed by life itself? Is your relationship lacking the love you remember? Too often, people feel helpless in the face of the obstacles in their life. I want you to feel empowered to conquer and master them. My goal is to help clients learn how to manage their own mental health issues and to become lifelong custodians of their own happiness and wellness. You can overcome whatever is facing you.

Life is everchanging. My clients are experiencing challenges that require them to change in order to go forward. Some clients are interested in dreams and personal growth over time. Others want some immediate support to help them sort out the difficulties they currently face: whether it be the loss of a relationship, a career, a difficult illness, or some other major change in one's orientation to life. I have a depth and breadth of experience working with people of all stripes and in both law and social work: that is, people who have been stuck in some very difficult places. I value individuality and wholeness--not perfection.
