Therapists in Houston, TX

I am a licensed professional counselor. I understand that life can present various challenges and seeking support is a courageous step toward personal growth and well-being. I typically work with individuals from young adolescence to adults to empower them with the tools and insights necessary to overcome obstacles. I often assist clients in coping with depression, trauma, stress, relationship issues, anxiety, and various other conditions. My approach is one that is client-centered, tailoring my services to meet your unique needs and goals.

You're feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, and uncertain. You've been questioning your path - wasn't this supposed to make you happy? You have nagging doubts about yourself, your friendships, and your future plans. The to-do lists remain unfinished, the planners lie empty – you feel stuck in a loop. The things you thought would bring joy have fallen short, leaving you without that spark that used to define you. We've all been there, but you don't have to stay stuck here.

Do you have relationship issues around money, sex, or communication? Let me help you gain insight into why you may be feeling stuck or challenged in these relationships. I am passionate about helping individuals and couples, who may not communicate well, work through differing values and beliefs to achieve healthier, stronger connections. Our goal is to build a more balanced self /couple able to respond to both the ordinary - and sometimes extraordinary - stressors related to relationships. Whether your stress stems from infidelity or the normal cycle of life, it’s time to get emotionally reconnected.

I help people feeling anxious and stressed about life not feel anxious and stressed about life. We will work collaboratively, as a team, to decrease your reactivity and increase your tolerance of adverse emotional experiences. My job is not to fix you, but to help you process your emotions and allow for the development of insight as to what’s driving them. I look forward to working with you to find clarity so you can live the life you want. I utilize CBT and psychoanalytic theory.

Do you feel an internal struggle to make it through the day, even if you appear fine on the outside? Maybe there is a significant change that is overwhelming the delicate balance causing you to teeter from coping to in over your head. Do you know that you probably need a change in your significant relationships? These are all feelings of people struggling with stress due to life changes, transition, grief, poor boundaries, depression, and anxiety. I provide a safe space where my clients share difficult feelings and are met with support and understanding.

I ascribe to a humanistic and psychodynamic approach and philosophy of counseling with some cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) mixed in. I focus on client’s emotions, perspectives, and life experiences, rather than just treating symptoms. I believe each client is different, what works for one will not work for all. Therefore, I take a dynamically informed approach when creating a treatment plan that will work best for each individual. I work with clients ages 12 and up.

I understand it can be difficult to reach out for help when individuals are feeling overwhelmed, confused and scared. I appreciate and affirm the courage it takes to enter a therapeutic setting and into a therapeutic relationship. It is important to honor each client’s individual journey towards happiness, wholeness and health. I strive to provide a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space for all individuals and topics. I believe that providing a safe judgement free environment is essential to address sensitive and personal issues.

Leaving a religion is hard, and can be an isolating process. The people around you may not understand your choices, and you might be dealing with a lot of confusing feelings and thoughts. I help people navigate this process of leaving a religion and choosing a path forward that feels authentic to you. Together we'll explore the unhelpful beliefs that may be sticking around, and all the emotions that come with transitioning away from a religion - anxiety, anger, fear, relief, grief, joy, and sadness.

Sex addiction doesn't have to continue ruining your life. Life may feel hopeless, and your anxiety may be higher than you've ever felt before. Yet, it doesn't have to stay this way. My clients all have two things in common: 1) They want to be here for themselves, even when others are making them, and 2) They work to achieve their goals. They come to me usually in a state of panic or depression, or some even come in when their world is chaotic and out of control. When you're ready to tackle your issues, give me a call.

My therapeutic style is personable, inquisitive, and engaging. I have experience with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I use several different therapeutic approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, emotionally focused therapy, emotionally focused family therapy, and mentalization based therapy.

Life's challenges can sometimes disrupt our lives or bring about certain obstacles. These big life transitions can sometimes look like career change, communication issues, everyday stressors, anxiety, grief, or family conflict.

Our thoughts hold a lot of power. When anxious thoughts take over your brain space, it leaves little room for the things you love. Negative self talk and unrealistic perfectionistic tendencies can leave us feeling like we're not enough and fearful of fulfilling our passions. Your confidence, your friendships, your relationship…all of them are impacted by the narrative inside our brains. I’m here to empower you as we work together to uncover things that no longer serve you, so you can regain your freedom and build the life you want.

Are you looking for an authentic connection with a therapist and appreciate an open, supportive dialogue?
