Therapists in Childress County, TX

You deserve to feel true relief in your life. I am a Fully Trained EMDR Therapist and use a holistic approach when helping clients. I believe that we all have a unique personal balance that helps us thrive in daily life. However, sometimes this balance can be thrown off by trauma, or other events. I know it can be very hard to reach out for help.

You are living a daily battle in your head about what you can eat, how much you should exercise, if you are worthy of taking up space. You are consumed by counting calories and by the negative voice inside that tells you, you’ll never be good enough or thin enough, smart enough or pretty enough. You are fed up with how the society/culture tells you how you should look and feel and behave. Your behaviors have you feeling exhausted and depleted and you wonder how you can go on another day. Others may think you have it all together on the outside, but the mental torture inside is killing you and feel like your life is shrinking.

"I'm fine" is a phrase you use often. You smile. You nod. Most people believe it. But you know you aren't fine. You can't sleep. You feel jumpy and on edge often, waiting for the next shoe to drop. During happy moments, you feel like there is plexiglass between you and your loved ones and the joyful moments seem to slip through your fingers. You excel at what you do but you often wonder if you are good enough. You have a hard time saying no and often feel resentful of others. The voice in your head can be really mean and it is hard for you to be kind to yourself. You often think you do not deserve good things or to be loved.

We're always changing, for better or worse. Engaging in counseling services is like embarking on a journey. The destination is the change you hope for, whether it's the way you're feeling, a relationship, or a habitual behavior. The first ingredient in any effective counseling relationship is trust. Genuine communication with a counselor will give you space and time for dialogue about what you're motivated to change. You’ll learn what makes you tick, what you’re after and how you plan to get it. The catch is that we often have many conflicting desires that get in the way. This is what the counseling process hopes to resolve.

Paralyzed, drowning, devastated, broken, stuck. I have heard many of these descriptions in initial appointments with clients. I am then humbled and amazed as these words evolve to relieved, empowered, valued, strong, and resilient as we work together in treatment. I am a marriage and family therapist offering teletherapy and in-person therapy services to my fellow Texans. In treatment, I focus on working with you to develop and maximize your distinct strengths to overcome the concerns you are presently encountering. I use research backed approaches that are uniquely tailored to you.

My story: I thought I could do it all & on my own. I was "ok" ignoring all the signs like panic attacks, staying in bed all day, and obsessing over every little decision, mistake or adversity. I've learned to accept some things & change others by understanding that life is what I CHOOSE IT TO BE! My current goal is to help you diminish suicidal thoughts, express yourself more effectively, and manage your moods. I want you to be "ok" and even better than ok!

Feeling that you are not good enough has now become your daily routine. You try to be everything to everyone, and it is still not enough. Functioning daily is a chore without the added stress of everyone asking you to do things or feel things or just "things" in general. You used to be able to handle your responsibilities in life. Now you can only feel anxious with everything you do as your heart races and stomach churns. Worry consumes your thoughts that something bad may happen. Hey there!

So no one told you life was gonna be this way? At night you toss and turn worrying about the future. You wish you could stop overthinking and start enjoying life. You wish that you could get out of your own way and start getting your life together. It seems like your friends all have it together more than you. You know your life could be so much better, you're just not sure how to get there.

The struggle is real. Life is challenging, and at times, overwhelming. Do you deal with symptoms of anxiety, confusion or depression? Are you coping with chronic health issues, life transitions, or relationship difficulties? Do you want to feel better about yourself and your choices?

My clients struggle with their emotions, whether from disturbing life events, phobia or ongoing mood conditions. They need relief because their feelings create suffering. They have tried hard to work on themselves and they have also been hard on themselves. Yet their feelings only seemed to have doubled down and stick around. My clients want help getting unstuck, and want to understand how to get back to a happier self.

"I cheated, I had an affair." No one ever wants to be told these words, but your partner just said them to you. They were your anchor and they betrayed your trust. In your shock and disbelief, you searched for answers, but that only lead to the worst fights you have ever had. Since then, you have lived as roommates keeping to your own corners of the house. You are tired of the distance and want things to just go back to how they were. But deep down you tell yourself, "It can never be like it was. Not now."

Therapy is about change. Many clients come because they are ready to explore how to make necessary or desired changes in their lives. Others reach out because they are experiencing change and need help navigating it. Ideally, clients come to the process open to seeing, thinking and doing things differently. People come to therapy usually because they have done everything they know how to do and they need a different perspective. Anxiety and depression are the most common issues that plague most clients, but everyone has unique ways that they handle their situation, their emotions and their relationships.
