Teletherapy for Houston, TX

I provide counseling and life coaching to adults, adolescents, couples, and families, who are struggling with mental health concerns, relationship issues, and unhappiness in family, at work, or in school. We do this together through a solution-focused, brief counseling approach, focusing on the present and planning for the future. My main experience has been working with those who are struggling within marriage and family relationships, or experiencing depression, anxiety, fear, anger, substance abuse and other addictions. My main role is to help clients get what they want and need, toward better mental health and happiness.

When I work with clients, I spend time understanding in a deep and connected way how you are experiencing your life. With support and non-judgmental curiosity, I will look below the surface. I may examine family of origin dynamics, core beliefs you hold about yourself and where you may have learned them, values you have and how your choices do or do not support them, and when and how you limit yourself or get in your own way.

Wounds are not to be feared but explored and overcome. Trauma can cause PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, quick temperament, and issues around self-esteem & self worth. In therapy we identify strengths to aide in growth and becoming a better YOU. I strive to work with the whole person, the TRIAD,-mind, body, and spirit, to not only explore and overcome but to HEAL from trauma.

As a Nationally Certified Counselor, I have the unique opportunity to collaborate with clients throughout the therapeutic process. I value the therapeutic relationship because it is the foundation on which transformation can occur. I work alongside clients to recognize the potential they possess to implement the necessary changes, in their lives. Starting the therapeutic process can be very intimidating and confusing. I strive to provide my clients with a warm and welcoming experience. I would love to meet you and learn more about your therapeutic needs!

I have held a long passion for mental health counseling since my younger days. Naturally, I am inclined to helping people and I sympathize with those who are experiencing life challenges. I have always given an ear to people who are in pain and given them words of comfort and encouragement including strangers.

I incorporate trauma-informed mindfulness practices such as brainspotting, as well as solution-focused techniques into my work with clients to make sure that the root of each therapeutic issue is addressed and you can track your own progress in therapy over time via goal-setting. I also have formal training in Motivational Interviewing (MI).

You are trying your hardest to be happy and positive, but maybe you still can't shake feeling sad, angry, or anxious. You keep your thoughts and feelings inside so as not to burden anyone or out of fear that no one will understand, and you don't feel any better. Maybe you are holding on to feelings of hopelessness, worthlessness, guilt or shame that are keeping you from taking control of your life and relationships. Maybe you haven't figured out what needs to change. If you're feeling stuck, I can help you consider new possibilities for your life.

Life's path can be quite dark and confusing at times. When it is, you can often experience anxiety, depression, maladaptive behaviors, a lack of connectedness with others and lose a sense of purpose. Much of life is trying to satisfy similar basic emotional/social needs, yet everyone's experience is unique in getting there. You, as an individual, are a one of a kind entity and should have this acknowledged and treated accordingly. I have applied this view point of therapy to a host of presenting problems: anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief and loss, various stages of life, and others.
