There are many reasons someone may be seeking counseling whether it be for the first time, or deciding to restart therapy. You may not be feeling like your usual self lately; lacking motivation, having trouble making decisions, sleeping too much or having trouble falling asleep, or feeling “stuck” in life. Do you just feel "off?" Parents of teens, are you feeling like things are out of control? Maybe your teen is participating in risky behaviors isolating themselves, struggling academically, constantly fighting with you, & won’t open up about anything. You’re worried about the changes you see & feel it’s time to seek outside help.

I provide individual, couples and family therapy and help many people overcome bumps in the road we call life.

Experiencing hurdles in life such as challenging relationships, family life issues and concerns about the direction of your career are normal, but can leave you feeling anxious, depressed, frustrated or angry. So many of our problems come down to not having enough insight into how our minds work; what we want, what we fear, why we act the way we do, and why we are overwhelmed by certain feelings. I believe that every person who seeks counseling has their own answers to their unique situations and my job is to facilitate finding those answers.

Life's problems and circumstances can often lead people to a place where they need support through therapy. For adults and young adults seeking support for mental health issues, marriage and family, career change, career advancement or coaching I focus on helping you to increase your emotional awareness and assist you in making the best use of your cognitive and emotional intelligence. I am able to work with you to increase your positive thinking, reduce unhealthy behaviors and improve self-esteem, social connections, and college or work performance.

I started Family Matters Counseling Center after I realized that a family system is one that the client creates and is not born into. From here I developed a passion to learn each unique families story to help them overcome their obstacle in maintaining balance within their family system. I help clients re-ignite their passion and hope in reaching their career and personal goals. I do this in a collaborative and gentle approach as I assist you in your journey with every step.

You can make an appointment via my website at http://lanternlightcounseling.com. There are times in our lives when everything changes, and we feel out of control. Maybe your emotions are raging. Or perhaps you feel numb to the world. I work patiently with my clients in a supportive, non-judgmental, and kind way to bring peace back to their lives. At the same time, I ask tough questions and offer a different perspective. You do not have to face the change in your life alone. This is your opportunity to grow.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who offers individuals, adults, geriatric populations in a general private practice setting in Texas. My practice offers a place where you can feel heard in a supportive, comfortable, and non-judgmental environment. I focus on adult care including women’s issues, career /educational issues, interpersonal communication, self-esteem, anger management, stress management, relationship issues, grief and loss, depression, and anxiety. I like to do therapy in an “eclectic” manner, drawing on cognitive-behavioral, narrative, spirituality, solution-focused, and others.

In this life, we face so many unprecedented events that can make us feel like we cannot catch a breath. No matter how young or old one may be, it can be quite challenging to build resiliency and sustain hope as you persevere through your life's journey. My goal is to help shift your perspective through genuine connection, so you can overcome whatever battle you are facing. I whole-heartedly believe there is no depression, anxiety, trauma, life-change, or addiction that cannot be controlled and re-directed. We all have a purpose that is much greater than our pain, and we all have the power to shift the trajectory in our lives.

Sometimes it seems that nothing works. You may feel angry, sad, or out of control and need help to navigate through rough times. I have been there! I was inspired to be a counselor by my own struggles with family codependency. There is hope! Through a combination of therapeutic techniques, cognitive behavioral, solution focused, reality, family systems, feminist, and humanistic therapies, I will help you identify what is holding you back. The goal is to provide you with the insights and tools you need to move past old, limiting beliefs and behaviors. I will provide dedicated, confidential listening to create a bright future.

My typical counseling approach, and that of my colleagues at Homestead Hope Counseling Services, is anchored firmly and unapologetically in the Christian world-view. We do so with a clear, unwavering theistic paradigm that acknowledges God's sovereignty in all things, as He is intimately interested in, and responsive to, each person and all they experience. Therefore, unless otherwise directed by the client, our approach will inherently involve the use of biblical revelation and the principles found therein, when ever appropriate and applicable. The Christ centered world view is paramount to my approach to healing.

As individuals, we navigate through life with the tools that were handed to us through our family systems. Sometimes that's not enough to keep us on course for what we desire out of life. Relationships can be complicated, depression can be isolating, and anxiety can be crippling. Breaking free from the chains that mental health binds us to can be the most liberating feeling, why not try it out?

It's difficult to figure out what to do when the bottom drops out from under you! How do I make sense of this? Will life ever be normal again? These are valid thoughts and feelings when you feel gripped by anxiety or life isn't going as you had thought or planned. While facing pain can be scary and challenging, I believe change is possible. If you feel stuck, I want to walk with you and help you find your way forward towards connectedness and wholehearted living.

Do you need an evening or a weekend appointment? Do you need counseling for yourself or your teen? Are you a college student struggling with the transition to adulthood? I provide a warm, relaxed and soothing environment for the treatment of depression, anxiety, self- esteem, stress management, grief, bipolar and the loss of a relationship. You will get support outside of the session in the form of handouts, email communication and resources. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as my primary focus.
