My dream is to help individuals, families, couples, or groups of people who are struggling with mental, emotional, or physical health concerns. I want to work with clients to identify the causes of their problems and create plans of action and goals to address those problems. I am a therapist with real-life experiences, and with these experiences, I help my clients gain perspective that will help them regain dignity and ease of mind and belief that through therapy, life has treasures that they have not seen yet due to the haze of mental health issues.

Every new day is a new chance to change. Life comes with many stages and changes like getting married or divorced, having children, going to college, starting a new job or losing someone close. Whether you are prepared or not these things often create so many emotions, thoughts, and decisions it gets overwhelming. Sometimes you just need someone to listen and help guide you through it. As a systemically trained therapist, I believe it’s the experiences we have had throughout our life with family, friends, partners, colleagues, etc. that shape who we are and influence how we handle what’s going on in our world.

I see a variety of clients who present with various issues/concerns/upsets, who are in distress and need help to see them through. It can be difficult to trust someone with personal issues, but after taking that first step, my clients generally feel comfortable with me, are forthcoming, and begin to feel hopeful again. Length of treatment varies depending on needs/issues, and I see both short-term and long-term clients/patients.

The hardest part is making that first call. I have over 20 years of experience as a counselor. I love what I do. Call any time for an appointment. 3259989630 Or after hours. 325-998-9630. Therapy is cheaper than... Many times I hear people say they cant afford therapy. But if you figure the costs it saves it is money well spent. Divorce? Can cost your thousands and half of everything you own. Grief? Can take years off you your time to enjoy your life. Teen Stress? Can lead to hospitalization or even jail time. Thanks and have a great day, you will be happy you made that first call.

I see you. You are not alone… You’re watching your child or adolescent struggle—and you’re not sure how to help anymore. Maybe they’re anxious, shutting down, angry, or hurting themselves. Maybe your family is navigating divorce, and emotions feel out of control. You’ve tried talking, setting boundaries, being patient—but nothing seems to work. You want to understand what’s going on beneath the behavior, and how to reconnect before things get worse. You’re ready for guidance that makes sense, tools that actually help, and a therapist who truly gets kids, teens, and parents.

Waitlist for new clients
So often we suffer traumas and emotional struggles, feeling like no one will understand or not knowing where to turn. This is one of the reasons I chose to become a counselor. My role in my client's lives is to provide a different outlook and to evaluate possible solutions. I provide my clients with a safe and supportive environment, free of judgement or criticism, where meeting their goals is top priority. I help my clients recognize their choices, as well as the means to get there, and together we will work towards achieving those desired goals.

There are times in life when it feels like we just can’t catch a break. Maybe it’s relationships that fall apart, maybe its constant crises, maybe it is prior traumas or experiences that come up in our daily lives. Chaos and emotional instability can make getting through the day feel impossible, but you do not have to go through it alone. Being overwhelmed and feeling broken doesn’t have to be your normal. My goal is to help clients learn what is keeping them from fully experiencing peace and then build the tools to stop living in constant fight or flight.

Personality Disorders Therapists
What are the common treatment options for personality disorders?
Personality disorders are typically treated with psychotherapy, sometimes in conjunction with medication. Therapy can help people with personality disorders develop skills to tolerate difficult emotions, navigate interpersonal relationships, and solidify their sense of self. Medications can treat symptoms that co-occur with the disorder, such as depression, anger, aggression, and impulsivity.

When to seek treatment for personality disorders?
Even though treatment for personality disorders can be an uphill battle, it’s best to seek help if you suspect that you or a loved one is struggling with one, because personality disorders can create substantial problems in life. Symptoms depend on the specific disorder, but overall signs of personality disorders include consistent difficulty maintaining close relationships, dramatic variations in self-esteem, and an unstable sense of identity.

How long does therapy take for personality disorders?
The timeline for treating personality disorders isn’t as clear-cut as it is for other disorders. Change can be difficult, taking from around one year to five, 10, or more. The key is finding a therapist who has extensive experience treating the relevant disorder. For example, a psychologist who specializes in narcissistic personality disorder has specific communication strategies that allow them to sustain the relationship and be more effective with narcissistic patients.

Can therapy help people with personality disorders?
Research suggests that for those who are motivated to address concerns or interpersonal conflict related to a personality disorder, therapy is far more effective than no treatment, and that most people in therapy see improvements. However, since personality disorders involve entrenched elements of identity, they are less responsive to treatment than are other mental health conditions. Finding an expert who has extensive experience working with a given personality disorder is one factor that increases the likelihood of successful treatment.
