Therapists in Houston, TX

Feeling overwhelmed? Life can bring on challenges that are difficult to work through without support. As the daughter of immigrant parents, I understand the complexities of intergenerational trauma. The weight of cultural and societal expectations can take a toll on one’s mental health. Family & religious pressure can also have a negative effect on our own identity and self-perception. I believe that no matter what our past has given us or what our future holds, we are capable of working through our life challenges. My goal as a therapist is to help clients embrace their authentic self and discover new paths of healing and growth.

Reaching out and asking for help is one of the hardest yet most vital parts of growth and self improvement in our lives. We all need help at some point - yes, even me! Therapy can not only help in dealing with the chaos life throws at us, but also help us learn how and when to ask for that help. I firmly believe that everyone deserves a safe environment to explore oneself and improve overall mental health. I'm also incredibly passionate about advocating for the expansion of mental health awareness through psychoeducation and increasing access to quality care.

I am a holistic Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in the state of Texas. As holistic counselor I take into consideration the physical, spiritual, psychological, ethnic and socioeconomic components that make you unique. Even in my 20+ years career as ICU nurse I have subscribed to the holistic approach to patient care. Though it's well known that mind and body interact, unfortunately many practitioners seem to overlook this important fact.

Do you yearn for closer, more connected relationships? Are you a parent managing overwhelm? Does your partner’s reactivity bring out the worst in you? An accepting, compassionate, and calm presence is one of the biggest gifts we can give ourselves and our loved ones. Yet, today’s stressors make that increasingly hard to do!

In a world that often values toughness, being a highly sensitive and soft-hearted person can feel like a burden. We might say "yes" when we really mean "no". And we may feel like we have to act differently to fit in, even if it means putting others before ourselves. Sometimes it can feel tough to find our inner courage, speak up for what we want, and create positive boundaries. This can be especially true when we're striving for success in our careers, supporting our loved ones emotionally, or navigating big life changes like pregnancy and the postpartum period.
