Therapists in Childress, TX

Sometimes an individual may just need skills to move through a “life transition,” clarify life goals, and prioritize steps for reaching those goals. This is more of a coaching situation, and I would love to coach you through this life transition. Finally, I view the therapeutic alliance as a partnership requiring mutual trust, respect, honesty, communication, and commitment to do the work.

Do you have doubts and insecurities that are keeping you from fully becoming who you are? Are issues related to your self-esteem, trauma, anxiety, interfering with your everyday life? I believe that we all have the capacity within us to live a meaningful and satisfying life. We all faced challenges in different phases of our lives; however, we have the resources and strengths to live meaningful and satisfying lives. The greatest joy of being a therapist is truly making a positive impact on the lives of individuals. I am committed to inspiring clients to make healthier choices, create greater happiness, and live a satisfying life.

You feel helpless, hopeless, tired of even trying, and past and current issues keep getting in your way or causing excruciating internal conflict. You're considering therapy but are not sure if you are willing to talk to a stranger about your personal issues. You’re here for a reason. You don't have to struggle alone. Let's work together to identify and understand what may be blocking you from feeling better. Your therapy goals will be the focus of our work together. I listen with empathy, with non-judgement, and help to empower individuals in areas where they feel stuck or defeated. You deserve to enjoy life!

“If we can share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can’t survive” -Brené Brown. Thank you so much for visiting my site. What I have learned about being a human, let alone a therapist, is that everybody has a story. My job is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to tell your story. Life can be very difficult for a multitude of reasons. Sometimes these struggles can feel overwhelming, leaving us confused and hopeless.

**ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** I have been in private practice for 6 years but I have a total of 15 years of counseling experience. During that 15 years, I have worked with several people from all walks of life with a wide range of struggles such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, etc. and it's always gratifying when they find relief and their symptoms begin to improve and, for many, disappear altogether.

I enjoy working with people from all walks of life looking to gain connection with themselves and others. My clients are often highly sensitive people (HSPs) and those dealing with anxiety, exploring past trauma, and it’s influences on present issues. Many of the people I work with are aiming at improving their lives, identify and change patterns, and moving forward in life with growth and purpose. Whether you’re working through a tough life moment, hoping to heal from the past, or are working towards personal growth, my passion is helping you find yours!

****CURRENTLY FULL - CALL TO BE PLACED ON WAITING LIST*** At some point in life, we all come to a crossroads. We are faced with a choice between staying the path we've always taken or changing direction completely. Whether you are facing grief, stress, family struggles or emotional issues, I am here to help you navigate the path you choose to take. I am comfortable and knowledgeable working with clients who are at all ages and stages of life. I look forward to helping you navigate the twists and turns on the road of life!

As a counselor, my goal is to assist you in the development and achievement of your own goals. Every individual person experiences life in a different way. The way we are raised, the we are taught how to behave, and how we experience it. This is what makes every one of use unique. My focus as your therapist is to help you with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma history, abuse/neglect, and interpersonal effectiveness. In a session with me, we will work together to learn new and healthy ways of coping, identify and express emotions both past and present, and continue to make steps forward for a future worth living.

It can happen to anyone. Life is going along just fine, and then before you realize what happened, you find yourself in a tough situation you never expected.

We are all born with a need to feel secure, accepted, and valued. Counseling offers a safe space to share your fears and hurts as you navigate the path towards healing. It’s an opportunity to discover personal strengths, and work in areas where you might feel stuck. It allows the time and space to share your stories, your struggles, and your desires. You can gain the tools you need to achieve your goals and make the healthy and lasting changes necessary to steer your life in the direction that you want to go.

Life is full of challenges and hardships that can leave us feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to move forward. From transitions into motherhood or a new job, to the loss of a loved one or the pressures of adolescence, it's not uncommon to feel like we're being swept off our feet. As a licensed professional counselor associate, I understand the courage and vulnerability it takes to seek help and let a stranger into your most intimate thoughts. My passion lies in building positive client-counselor relationships that leave you feeling heard and seen, without judgment.
