Therapists in Houston, TX

If you are feeling stuck, grieving, going through a change and/or confused, it can help to talk with someone who is able to be objective, yet supportive. At times, transitions bring us to a critical juncture or a cross road. Sometimes it is a shift and at other points it is a moment of truth. Whatever the case, you are not alone. It is possible to develop understanding and a sense of effectiveness. Although outcomes vary, the objective is peace of mind. Helping people feel better comes with over 35 years experience. All services are provided in Spanish and English.

We use a variety of techniques that are tailored to meet the needs of our clients with a special interest in self esteem/self worth issues, codependency, NPD & unconscious programming. Some individuals are unaware of limiting thoughts, beliefs & memories and stay stuck. Trapped trauma and unconscious programming plays a major role in mental & physical health problems as well as interpersonal relationships. In addition to psychotherapy we offer a unique & transformational experience called Zerobody Dry Flotation to aid and accelerate the healing process and to re program unconscious programming (one's blueprint of self and life).

Working as a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in helping people cope with their issues. I guide my clients in a way that utilizes both their heads and their hearts. Earning my Bachelors of Science in Psychology as well as my Masters of Science in Mental Health Counseling has provided me with the knowledge, skill, and technique to work towards guiding clients to work towards peace and growth.The desire to motivate people to work towards their goals developed early in my college years when I worked as a mentor for a local community ministry in a small college town.

My ideal clients are working professionals that struggle to build their ideal lives. They struggle with anxiety, depression, and trauma, which manifests in poor communication, troubled relationships, overwhelming addictions, and/or PTSD. They have busy schedules and are open to or looking for telehealth or online therapy.

Anxiety is always around you. You've been told that you're "Too sensitive" and "Too much." You feel misunderstood & tired. Where do you fit in? Yet you're the one everyone goes to for help. But you struggle to ask for support or be your full self with others. You're lonely & anxious. You push the trauma deep down. On the outside you have a great career, you look good, but you don't know how to stop people pleasing and perfectionism. You've prayed, read books and journaled, but you're feeling desperate. You have too much on your plate. You need long-lasting change NOW.

So many people bombard us with cliches like “Life is what you make it” or “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade,” when the unexpected happens or we lose control of situations and ourselves. Not only does this usually make us feel worse and/or not heard, we usually do not know what those sayings even mean. I’m sure people typically mean well when using these phrases, however, we need practical remedies to the “cards we were dealt” in our personal lives. It’s rare that the average person listens to us, validates us, AND helps us process what’s happening so that we can wholeheartedly move on.

Working closely with clients to help them achieve their goals is a passion for me. I challenge clients to overcome personal barriers and build on their strengths to create empowerment and confidence. I use evidence-based modalities to create a safe and encouraging environment, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. Using a collaboratively developed treatment plan, I have a special interest in working with children (ages 6+), adolescents, and family units to build on strengths and overcome challenges.

You're over it. Feeling sad and heartbroken about what you've endured in life. You don't want to continue struggling to get through the day.

Whether you're struggling with identity, sexuality, relational trauma, grief, anxiety, or burnout, you have options to grow beyond this quicksand keeping you stuck.

I focus on working with adult women who struggle with depression/bipolar, anxiety and traumas. I have strong passion for helping women gain hope, strength, and inner peace. As my favorite quote is “the darkest hour is right before the dawn.”, I strive to instill positivity by emphasizing on strengths even in the times you can’t see for yourself. Together, we will work on making you the best cheerleader of yourself so you can regain the strength to get up and go forward.

I enjoy working with college students, professionals in healthcare, caregivers, singles that are dating/looking to date, single parents, newly divorced or separated, and specifically young adult couples looking to improve their relationships amidst juggling school, work, new baby, or life transitions. I also have a strong interest in helping individuals who struggle with the bi-cultural experience and inter-generational conflicts.

My passion is helping people who struggle in their daily lives with anxiety, anger, depression and PTSD. These can all be overwhelming and can make someone feel left out. Often, they can make someone believe they are not capable of living a normal life.

We see adults and teens and help in areas such as managing anxiety and depression, achieving work-life balance, perfectionism, people pleasing, and navigating the journey of healing from childhood trauma, estrangements, and complex family dynamics.

I have always connected with people and enjoy working with individuals who know something is not working well in their lives but who are not sure how to make changes. My values and worldview are shaped by my personal experience of multiculturalism, having moved to Houston from Singapore at age 16, and I recognize that mental health is not about what you learn in a textbook. I have personally overcome assimilation barriers and I have a sensitivity for the differences people bring into relationships. I see mental health recovery as a process and not an event and would be honored to join you in your journey.
