Couples Therapists in Bulverde, TX

My experience has been centered on anxiety, depression, trauma, sexual abuse and assault, crisis pregnancy, narcissistic abuse, and pregnancy loss (stillbirth, abortion, miscarriage). While these experiences seem overwhelming, therapy is a great way to help you identify main issues and themes, set goals, and learn coping skills to help you move forward. I enjoy working with individuals as well as couples , and seeing them grow and move forward towards their goals.

Emotional health difficulties are like a cold, everyone gets them from time to time. However, if the cold goes on for weeks or keeps on getting worse, you should probably see a healthcare professional. This is true for our emotional health as well. If we want to be healthy, we have to take care of ourselves: body, mind and soul. Psychotherapy is medical treatment and care intended to relieve or heal the soul. It is a journey of self-discovery, personal growth, healing and wholeness. I have 20 years of experience supporting and guiding clients in a variety of areas including mental health, health care, disability and family services.

We all get stuck in relationships, issues, and negative thinking, at times. Your situation is unique and so should your therapy. You deserve professional guidance with what you desire to receive help. Please reach out to me and receive that help because you are worth it!
