Therapists in Olmos Park, TX

I am a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor. I have more than 15 years' experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor. While I address a wide range of issues through traditional talk psychotherapy including depression, anxiety and substance abuse, I specialize in hypnosis. I am an International Board Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist.

I obtained a Ph.D. from the University of Denver. I completed a Predoctoral Internship and a Postdoctoral Fellowship in clinical psychology at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center at San Antonio. My broad training included emergency psychiatry, inpatient and outpatient adult and adolescent treatment, neuropsychological and forensic assessment, and behavioral medicine . My fellowship training in psychological testing and adolescent development informs my clinical thinking and focuses treatment to the psychological, interpersonal, and developmental presentation of each individual.

I strive to provide you with the tools to build and maintain a more fulfilling life. Each person has unique needs and goals in their therapy. I will not just passively listen, but will engage you, share my thoughts, and challenge you when appropriate. I strive to provide my clients an atmosphere of flexibility, acceptance, compassion, and humor. For 15 years I have successfully helped clients navigate life issues. Many people come to me feeling overwhelmed or lacking meaning in their life, while others are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief/loss, trauma/PTSD, relationship or gender issues.

Located in Midtown San Antonio, River North Anxiety is a specialized mental health practice serving patients aged 18 to 65 with anxiety and anxiety-related disorders. Those experiencing any form of anxiety understand how it can control their lives. People often feel shame and don't realize that they have a treatable condition. Treatment need not involve extensive psychotherapy or even medication. Examining the accuracy of anxious thoughts, making strategic behavioral adjustments, and learning how to manage the physical sensations of anxiety are three components of effective, lasting anxiety treatment.

What do you want from your life? Are you experiencing a fulfilled life? If not, what's in your way and how can we work together to get you there? I help my clients seize what they want from their lives with more health and ease, and with less pain and suffering. My therapy approach is to be a collaborator with you in this process. Psychotherapy should be empowering! You are the expert about your life so far; we start with where you are now, and together through small but powerful shifts, we will create the life you want.

I'm about love, self-compassion, radical acceptance, embracing failure, trusting your innate wisdom and starting over. I fundamentally believe in every person's ability to recover from trauma, addiction and life, in general. Experience has taught me that no one is really avoiding anything. When people accuse you of not dealing with something, what they are really saying is you aren't dealing with it the way they want you to. From my perspective, if you wake up every morning and breathe in and out all day long, you're dealing with your stuff. A tiny bit of intention is all it takes to begin healing.

Neurodiversity affirming therapy is not just a predetermined set of techniques that a therapist uses during sessions - although there are specific interventions that are particularly helpful for neurodivergent individuals (people who meet the clinical criteria for ADHD and Autism). Rather, neurodiversity affirming therapy is an approach to treatment and an overarching philosophy that shapes how the therapist conceptualizes their client and the client’s experience. This theoretical approach asserts that neurodivergence is not a flaw or a condition that requires “fixing” or correcting.

Hablo Español. When people ask you how you’re doing, is the first thing you say, “I’m tired but I’m good” but you know you’re really not. Whether at work or in your home life, when anyone needs help or support of any kind, people rely on you because they know they can count on you. You’ve always prided yourself on being there for the people in your life and putting everyone else first. But lately, you’ve noticed how exhausted you are all the time, how you really need to learn to say no and set some boundaries but you don’t even know where to start. The thought of it makes you feel paralyzed with guilt.

"As we all know too well, life can be completely unpredictable! I say control the controllables and by that I mean your well-being and mental health. At times you just want to be heard and that is exactly what I provide." I am along for the ride, but keep in mind you are in the driver's seat and ultimately only you can pick your final destination. I truly believe in the power of the 'here and now' and believe that you can consciously make efforts to reach happiness, whatever that happiness may look like for you.
