Therapists in Greater Memorial, Houston, TX

We are committed to excellence in all aspects of counseling and therapy. We believe that individuals are healthy when they are clear of past situations and have the right tools to deal with life's circumstances and stressors. People learned certain behaviors that were useful at some point in their lives, but are now getting in their way of fulfillment. Those need to be updated. Relationships are healthy and strong when partners understand, appreciate, and celebrate each other. We work to discover the underlying themes contributing to your concerns and then tailor therapy to you for greater success.

Life is complex. Simply viewing my profile indicates you are seeking to grow in important areas of your life. Whether you are curious about improving relationships, expanding your work-life, or you are experiencing some uncomfortable, even painful emotions or symptoms, together we can explore new possibilities. Many of us merely want to adjust how we do things in life and love. I invite you to come in first and simply meet with me to see if it feels like a good "fit," a necessary and important aspect of a beneficial working relationship. If you email me, please include your phone number. Let's roll-up our sleeves and work together!

I have a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and did my internship at Baylor College of Medicine. Over 25 years of experience working with teens, adults and couples from diverse backgrounds. I work especially well with people who suffer from depression or anxiety and people who want help with stress management or establishing a healthier lifestyle. I have been an avid runner for over 40 years. I help people navigate our complicated health care system and am medically-savvy. Many physicians refer to me because they trust me to truly help their patients. I am a very good listener and terrific problem-solver.

You have it all. The job, the partner, the family. People are impressed with how you juggle it all, but you don’t like how you show up in each arena of your life. You never feel like you are fully there, fully yourself. You feel like you’re just “doing” things to keep up the facade of being a “nice” person. But it feels fake and unfulfilling. Your life looks perfect from the outside, but on the inside, it feels off.

When you come into my office I emphasize the importance that my room is your safe place. I do not want to add to your pain. Let's define your meaning of safety, and how to implement it in your daily life. I want our relationship to model what you aspire your other relationships to look like; setting boundaries, expressing your emotions, and validation of your feelings. I have deliberately seeked a variety of opportunities to shape and hone my abilities to become a licensed counselor.

I firmly believe that people are experts in their own lives. We all have strengths that sometimes are not apparent to us, and it's my goal to help identify those with you. As we discuss and explore, we find that our thoughts and belief patterns about the way things currently are, might be more workable than we had previously believed. My approach when working with people is to be collaborative and relational. I meet clients wherever they are in their journey, and we work together to identify goals and overcome barriers to attaining them. As your therapist, I look to create a safe, judgement free space for healing.

My private practice welcomes individuals, couples, teens and children. I have worked with a wide variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, marital conflict, ADHD/ADD, life adjustments, adolescent challenges and school adjustment difficulties (from pre-school through college age). Additional areas of intervention include working with individuals who are dealing with stress and time management problems, difficulties as a result of parental divorce, behavior management problems and other life challenges.

Life can sometimes be complicated. Workplace stress, relationship challenges, financial difficulty and complicated family issues can become overwhelming, especially when you feel fatiqued, anxious, depressed, confused or alone. You may even begin to lose hope for the possibility of ever getting what you want and living a happy, productive life. A counselor can help you identify the root of the problems and develop steps toward their resolution. There is no reason to struggle through another day alone. Reach out for the support you need and we will work together to move you towards living the life you want to live.

My goal is to create a comfortable environment which will allow us to address the challenges you are facing, and help get you closer to the life you want.

Are you seeking a big change in your life? Is there something or someone that is preventing you from experiencing happiness or joy in your life? Therapy can be an empowering, therapeutic, and enriching experience that can CHANGE.YOUR.LIFE. I help clients navigate the most difficult hardships in their life, offer a positive perspective, and support clients in life-changing events/transition times. For every client that walks through my door, I help ease emotional burdens and provide a safe and special sanctuary for clients to be themselves free of judgement.

A child’s behavior is telling a story of what is going on inside. Many times, when our kids are reaching out for connection, they will behave in ways that create the opposite response. When a child is struggling to find positive ways to relate, our team of therapists come alongside them and their family to help them feel more understood, empowered, connected and loved. I believe in conducting therapy in partnership with families, pediatricians, teachers, and other specialists to ensure that each child receives a personalized treatment plan that is reinforced in all settings.

Life can be hard. Everyday obstacles, change, and hardships can leave you feeling overwhelmed and helpless. The counseling relationship allows for meaningful conversation that can support you as you navigate all of life’s challenges. Having the courage to navigate through feelings and learning what makes us who we are is transformational. Here are just a few of the benefits you may experience from therapy: improved quality of life, decreased depressive and anxiety symptoms, improved interpersonal relationships, and improvement in emotional self-regulation. I am trained in Brainspotting, CBT, DBT, and Gottman Level 1 & 2.

Parenting is hard! Parenting can be even harder when children are in distress, have behavioral issues, or are struggling with issues in the school setting. I believe that therapy is a place where kids can learn that big feelings are manageable. My hope is that through therapy, I can provide a safe, nurturing, and accepting environment that will allow children to understand and manage big emotions.

Asking for help can be difficult, but is a sure sign of strength. Finding the right therapist is the first step in getting the help you need. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, substance abuse/addiction, or trauma related issues, or are having trouble managing your emotions and relationships, I can help. I have just short of twenty years experience collaborating with clients to find solutions for areas of difficulty in their life as well as helping them identify and cultivate their own strengths. I am eager to meet with you to develop your own, unique treatment plan.

Life happens & therapy helps! Therapy is a safe space to release unwanted thoughts, feelings & emotions while gaining a new perspective & learning new skills to help you live the life you desire. It is my belief, even when you don’t feel equipped, you have everything you need to take the next step in life. During our therapy sessions, it is my goal to ensure you feel safe, supported, comfortable & confident, while implementing practical therapy modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness - Based Cognitive Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Culturally Sensitive Therapy and/or Solution Focused Brief Therapy.
