Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Lubbock, TX

I am dedicated counselor that is passionate about helping individuals recover from childhood trauma and who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, anger, grief/loss, and addiction and substance abuse issues. I offer compassionate and non-judgmental person-centered therapy and believe clients should have autonomy and independence to make their own decisions. Through a trauma-focused lens, I encourage my clients to take control of their lives by providing my clients with necessary skills and tools to do so. I provide a safe space for clients to open up and process whatever is causing emotional distress in their lives.

Ruin is the road to transformation." I believe experiences shape who we are and embarking on a different experience in a therapy setting can alter your experiences outside of the office. The work is most meaningful whenever clients have an openness and a curiousity to allow different experiences. My main area of growth is currently in my work with anxiety, birth trauma and confidence building, specifically in the LGBTQIA+ community; however, I have a passion for working with all individuals, couples and families.

My approach to psychotherapy has been shaped by my own life experiences as well as professional training. I utilize a mind-body approach and specialize in mindfulness , focused attention techniques, and creative imagery which are known to be very effective for stress-management, sleep difficulties and emotional disorders such as anxiety and depression. I have special interest in working with individuals dealing with codependency and relationship issues. I believe that learning to cope with our inner turmoil is one of the cornerstones of being able to live a purposeful and meaningful life.

I see couples, individuals, and families and specialize in couple's communication, conflict, and families living with addiction/codependency. Additionally, I work with individuals living with symptoms of unhappiness, worry, and grief. In therapy, I help my clients identify underlying patterns that cause distress and then use their strengths to create new experiences that facilitate growth, understanding, and fulfillment.

I am an advocate for the healing power of counseling. I can offer guidance and support to the individuals and couples that are willing to start that journey. Life is about facing adversity and coming out stronger on the other side. No one should have to face the world alone. I can offer my clients a safe and understanding environment where they are free to work through the issues that keep them from living the life that gives them meaning. I work with my clients to develop the best treatment goals for meeting their needs. I meet each client where they are and walk with them through their healing journey.

Accepting new clients! The therapeutic process is a healing process. Healing takes place both internally and within the context of relationship. We constantly shift and change day to day, week to week, year to year. Changes can be going from sleeping to waking, from changing our routines, or outdated patterning. Changes can come in the form of a new baby, a new marriage, a new job; and they can also be divorce, death, health issues, or a sudden move. Inherent in every change is a level of questioning, worry, and concern either internal or external. I do believe change is a wonderfully empowering catalyst to growth and healing.

Recently, after more than 22 years in private practice, I have decided to simplify my life. I no longer will be taking insurance. I will only accept self-pay clients at an hourly rate of $50. I work best with normal people who are having trouble negotiating the common difficulties of life. The type client who is most helped is the one who is willing to self-explore and try new thought and behavior patterns. My motto is "Be gentle with yourself" as you work toward personal growth and toward creating the best possible life for yourself and others. I love helping adolescents and adults find joy, productivity, and peace in life.
