Therapists in Lufkin, TX

Before private practice I worked for UTMB-CMC within the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. I have a passion working with serious mental health issues, but working in TDCJ reinforced a desire to focus more on earlier interventions, eventually leading leaving to begin my private practice. My specialties include treating psychosis spectrum, mood, and personality disorders, however I also have experience working with adjustment, anxiety, complicated grief, trauma related, obsessive compulsive, and substance use.

I would like to take the opportunity to welcome you to a place of healing and growth. One of the leading principles that guide my practice is helping you rediscover your personal power to direct your own life in a meaningful and healthy way. So many different types of hardships can rob a person from recognizing their personal power. They can come to believe they have no choices. Trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, abuse, loss, illness, addiction and other hardships can cause a person to live day to day in an endless cycle of struggle. Common life stressors like college, job, divorce, or retirement can be hard to manage as well.

Everyone who comes in is experiencing some sort of crisis or breakdown in their life and wants some relief from their suffering and confusion. I provide a safe, calm, comforting environment that allows us to talk about the client's concerns and figure out a way to get through the crisis and learn how to prevent future breakdowns. This will include healing past wounds and learning how to use those breakdowns as stepping stones to positive breakthroughs in the future.

Working through difficult emotions is a key factor in you living your best life, but sometimes fear and anxiety keeps us from accessing and processing these feelings. I can teach you not only to challenge uncomfortable emotions but to work through those deeper feelings that may get in the way of your success. I have a transtheoretical orientation and have found components of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and strengths recognition instrumental in treating my clients’ needs.

Life can get messy, confusing, and depressing. Sometimes it happens at a moment’s notice, or often conflict occurs because choices are made that create turmoil over time. I would like to guide you to find clarity and peace on your journey toward a richer, fuller life. I desire to help people in a time of need. Staying true to this heart strategy, I became a licensed professional counselor in 2019. My goal is simple: I will work with you to promote a healthier mental and emotional state that leads to victory in your life.

It is my belief that people experience both highs and lows in life. I believe that each person has the ability to become aware and capable of making informed decisions and live a meaningful life. By bringing about a level of awareness each individual can learn to self regulate and be prosperous in life. It is through my experience as a counselor in multiple settings that I have developed this belief. I am passionate about working with individuals from all walks of life that could be struggling with depression, anxiety, or difficulty with interpersonal relationships.

Whether you are struggling with Grief, Depression, Anxiety, or normal life changes, we could all use a compass to navigate our way. It would be my honor to be that part of your journey and together overcome the difficulties that life can present. To achieve this, I believe that therapy works best when it is tailored to the personality and the individual needs of each client. Rather than relying on just one modality of psychotherapy,

You have great value as a person and deserve to feel that. It's completely normal to feel down, afraid, or inadequate. We all feel this way from time to time. The problem comes in when you have no way to work through and let go of difficult or challenging thoughts and emotions. Therapy is a powerful way for you to develop skills and experience healing so you can live the full life you want to live.

Broken. Depressed. Desperate. Afraid. Falling apart. That's how many of us describe ourselves and/or our relationships. We assume or convince ourselves that there is no alternative and should get used to it, or get over it. But how? As you well know, it is not that simple. Counseling and therapy is about the courage to be vulnerable, and learning to walk through the brokenness of our lives with hope. Whether your struggle is with depression, grief, anxiety, marital conflict, infidelity, trauma, parenting, or something else, there is hope.

The mission of my professional life is to change and improve the quality of people's lives so that they will get more satisfaction from their personal, family and work relationships. My education and years of experience help me to form a therapeutic alliance with clients, find solutions and build strengths to maintain the personal growth they achieve. I believe that treating anxiety, depression and trauma is a collaborative process that is achieved by a variety of best practice techniques based on both science and common sense.

My ideal patient is focused upon personal growth and healing while processing events and thoughts, even when others or self doesn't understand them. Utilizing therapy to build/establish trust to discuss difficult topics even where honesty is needed.

Telehealth in The Woodlands. Office in Conroe. I specialize in complex and difficult situations. 24 years in the field, I’ve been a university professor for eight years as well as the director of a ten room university counseling center and the director of a 62 bed psychiatric hospital. If you want significant lasting change, that is a goal I can strive for in our collaboration.

It can be scary to reach out asking for help; however, it actually shows how strong you are, because you will not have to go through it alone. I focus on the strength you have for the challenges you are facing. I feel it's important to work through the struggles that can create intense feelings, so that there can be a sense of hope and a light at the end of the tunnel. I look forward to helping you through the whatever challenges you are presently facing and joining you on your journey.

I have been practicing counseling/psychotherapy for over 20 years and have been facilitating family, couple and individual therapy since 1998. I am experienced in inpatient, partial day treatment and outpatient treatment, working with adolescents, adults, couples and families. Using a multi therapuetic approach I am non-judgemental and easy to talk to. I enjoy working with family systems issues as I feel anything impacting one of our family members impacts us all. As a native of Southeast Texas I am familiar with resources and am happy to refer individuals as needed.

I completed my Master of Social Work program at the University of Houston in 2017. That same year I entered the mental health field by way of Correctional Managed Care. I started as mental health clinician at a maximum security prison unit. I have worked at multiple units within the TDCJ system for over 5 years. This experience has highlighted both the importance of mental health maintenance, and the consequences of its deterioration.

My clinical practice offers individual, and couples therapy. I have experience in treating and/or assessing a range of psychological problems.
