Therapists in Guadalupe County, TX

I bring 23 years of experience in education with me to my practice. I started using my LPC a little over a year ago and loved the feeling of helping couples and families. It was such a positive direction in my career, that I decided to take my skills in to the community. I'm the mother of two sons and one daughter. I also have 1 granddaughter, with one more on the way in September.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, it is my goal to assist clients in addressing mental health and behavior issues that may be preventing them from living the life they desire. I provide a warm, collaborative, and safe environment that encourages the client to be in control of the focus and direction of therapy. I use a variety of approaches, but primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR to help clients identify and challenge negative thought and behavior patterns, as well as reprocess past trauma. I have worked in in-patient and out-patient settings with clients of all ages, including children, teens, and adults.

Have most of your days become consumed with mental worry and feelings of aloneness? And, family members you were once able to reach out to are distracted by their own concerns during these uncertain times? You want the relief of feeling heard by someone who will not judge your thoughts, no matter what they are. I am here for you.

Feeling lonely, lost, abandoned or stuck? Do you want to feel better about yourself, and your direction in this world? Would you like your relationships to improve? Ready for conflict to be resolved? Are you ready for a change in your life? The truth is we all have difficult seasons in our lives when support can make the difference in hope and healing. We have multiple clinicians in the office with different specialties and hours that can meet your and your families counseling needs.

Are you tired of living through the same things that happened in your life, especially in the past? Are you ready to begin changes for yourself that will greatly impact your current day and your future? I am a therapist who focuses on working with clients going through trauma or having past trauma. Trauma is the things that have happened to you as well as the things that didn’t happen to you in the sense of what you may have needed along the way. If you are ready for change, I am also ready to work alongside you to be able to get you to more emotional regulation and connected to yourself.

The first step towards healing is finding someone to guide you through the journey. I work with people of all ages who experience anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms, behavioral issues, family and relational dysfunction, and much more. I work collaboratively with my clients to create a wellness plan that can help strengthen them to heal within the bonds created by therapy.

Congratulations on taking this big step toward healing! We all meet challenges in our lives. Stress can overwhelm us, relationships can cause upheaval, and past struggles can hang around and get in our way in the present. I meet my clients with an open mind and a compassionate heart, to meet you where you're at, and support you in where you want to go. Whether you’re looking for new skills to learn, ways to navigate your current situation, or a listening ear to help you work through things, I’m here to support you.

Life can quickly get out of balance in this fast paced day and time we live in. Keeping up with the latest technology, social media, maintaining relationships, juggling family life, work or school, can all be overwhelming. Then add to that unresolved trauma, grief, family conflict, or a sudden physical or mental health crisis, you might feel like there is no way out. But I assure you there is. It will take some work and reprioritizing, but with my support , encouragement and expertise, you will find your way.

As a first-generation Mexican-American, I am sensitive to the multi-cultural needs of my clients. I am fluent in Spanish and English and able to effectively provide therapy in the language in which the individual is most comfortable, in doing so, their goals have a higher probability of being achieved. My clinical experience has provided me with the abilities to work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues related to trauma, depression, stress management, grief, parental support, and substance use.

Life is full of challenges and these challenges often leave us feeling anxious, depressed, and unsure of how to move forward. My goal is to work collaboratively with you in a judgement-free, compassion-filled space to explore the natural gifts and innate strengths you possess to help you rise up and move forward through past, present, and future challenges. I believe that all individuals-children, teens, and adults, have an infinite capability to grow and heal in ways that bring fulfillment and joy to their lives.

Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, helpless or is your life out of control in some way? Have you experienced depression, anxiety, addictions, or traumas that affect your ability to sustain relationships? Do you seek a safe, supportive place in which to explore your feelings, thoughts in order to turn your life in a new direction? For 23 years, I have helped people understand and change their behavior and motivations using primarily a cognitive (thinking based) behavior therapy approach which examines harmful thinking that supports negative feelings, and behavior patterns, so that you become equipped to change and grow.

There's no sugarcoating it - life is full of loss. We lose people and animals we love, jobs, roles, and identities, homes, relationships - the list goes on. While loss is a natural part of life, our society often doesn't support processing our grief in a healthy way. Perhaps you've been told things like "everything happens for a reason" or "they're in a better place." If those things feel true and helpful for you, that's perfect. But perhaps attempts at comfort like this make you feel like you have to cram your feelings down and just move on, or you fear that if you let yourself fully feel your grief, it will swallow you whole.

There are so many surprises and experiences in the world to shape and grow us, some of which can be life-changing or hard to move past. It is easy to become voiceless, bottle things up, or notice that you completely have changed yourself to merely get by. Normalcy is often what everyone wants, but yet, to achieve it can be a constant battle with unending emotions. I have an innate drive and passion for supporting others and helping them reach their full potential as they navigate through transitions, adolescence, and other milestones in life, regardless of age group.

Welcome! I am glad you are here! I have a passion for helping people know themselves better and process their lives and concerns. I work with a variety of people with struggles such as anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationships, and more. I primarily work from a psychodynamic perspective that seeks to understand individuals’ unconscious motivations and desires that contribute to our conscious life. I am comfortable discussing any issue that you might bring up and can aid in helping you achieve a healthier and more fulfilling life.

NOW OFFERING ON-LINE OR TELEHEALTH SESSIONS Reaching out is not easy, and starting your healing journey is less so. Feeling sad, anxious, fearful or hopeless can be scary and lonely for someone who has no idea where to start to get better. While many of the topics shared by my clients are hurtful and frightening, I also find humor can be helpful. I strive to be honest and transparent with my clients while providing them with a safe, non-judgmental space in which to explore all issues you're dealing.
