In life there are many different struggles you may experience. My purpose is to help you navigate whatever issues both current and past. And hey even if there is currently nothing going on--there's nothing wrong with seeking a little help, or new perspective from how you previously responded to life's issues. My goal is to work together with you to help cope with life stressors such as: mood regulation, attitude shifts, communication skills, relationships (friend, family, romantic), anxiety, regaining focus, dealing w/ peers, depression, grief, and more. Life isn't one size fits all. We can address all these things together.

I operate from the stance that people were not intended to suffer alone. Often, burdens that appear too heavy or too great to move beneath feel that way because the individual does not have adequate resources and skills to process the situations or experiences. As a therapist, I have been blessed to stand alongside many individuals as they planted their feet back on the ground and learned to skills necessary to alter their view of self or to shift so that they became bigger than their pain.

Seeking support for mental health may feel intimidating, so allow me to assist you in taking the first step. Therapy helps us better understand who we are, and sometimes helps us understand why we are who we are. Effective therapy can change the trajectory of one's life by helping manage emotions, foster better communication, build and maintain positive relationships, increases self-esteem, teaches the implementation of coping skills, and to have an overall positive outlook on life.

Sometimes, we are overwhelmed with trials or life-events, that may become chaotic life stressors, or an issue that seemingly stunts our growth. Many individuals wrestle with these life incidents that by design cause mental and/or emotional affects that manifest outwardly. Living a life with mental wellness, and emotional stability allows us to comfortably build self-confidence, and face life challenges. In therapy, it is important to build a supportive, nonjudgmental, and an emotionally-safe environment for clients to explore and work through their concerns.

Online therapy in TX, WY, and CO. Are there times that you struggle to just make it through the day? Do you lie awake at night because your mind is racing and anxiety has taken over? Do you feel like you aren't good enough or capable enough to do the things life requires from you everyday? Maybe your self doubt comes from messages received in childhood, or from a toxic relationship where you were told over and over again that you weren't good enough, or from other traumatic experiences that you have internalized because you worry that you might appear weak or because others would never be able to understand your pain.

Many of us struggle with the fear of letting go...of something. It can be a frightening process and you may feel hopeless and helpless at times. However, the empowerment that can be gained by letting go and ridding yourself of negative thoughts can be truly life changing. It may be hard, but my role is to help you reach your personal goals. Counseling is my second career. In the earlier part of my life, I earned an MBA and spent 10 years working in international sales and marketing. I was moved to begin a new career helping other people after counseling personally turned my life around and provided me with balance and peace.

Individuals that I work with can feel lost or confused at times, so I offer the additional support needed to hone in on ways to improve their life in order to live a more enriching experience. I consider each person and their contexts when looking at problems. It may help to look at how personal challenges are impacted by social ones by considering gender, class, status, ethnicity, and other parts of our lives. I provide insight into what issues or needs identified and work with them on finding interventions to reach their goals.

What type of Houston mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist or psychologist, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.
