Therapists in Stone Oak, San Antonio, TX

Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true self and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can’t change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. These challenges may be related to family, relationships, work issues, and a myriad of other concerns.

My ideal clients are those who show a willingness to have me walk beside them and hold their pain as they seek clarification on the emotions that drive their distress. By seeking treatment to address relationship issues, they discover that other aspects of their experience are influenced by their powerful need to connect with their significant others. I am best suited to treating marital distress and disconnection between teens and their parents. I understand the unique importance of familial relationships and the significant relief that comes when these relationships are repaired.

I work with couples, families, and individuals (teens, kids, and adults). Do you want to experience things like growth, change, and healing? Are you experiencing grief, trauma (PTSD), addiction, anxiety, depression, or psychosis? Do you take medication, but it feels like something is missing or off? Maybe it’s something else. I help by treating the SOURCE of what you are facing, and I help with the day-to-day and the past of how to deal with the source, so you can be your best self. The source is a ‘root cause’ or a ‘seed’ of how it started.

Like most people, you're probably just trying to live a rich, full life. However, from time to time, everyone experiences troubling thoughts or relationship distress. It's been my life mission to learn how individuals think and how relationships work. As a therapist, I see myself as a guide. You show me the struggling place. I bring out my tool box of resources, and then together we work through the messy emotional places. I actually love working through difficult relationship conflict and issues, so it would be a delight to serve you.

Sometimes we all need help. Anxiety, depression, grief, anger, fear. These are some of the emotions that bind us together as humans. These effect our goals, hopes, dreams, motivations. Through counseling you can learn to manage your emotions so you can better manage your life. Personally I have overcome difficulties and through my experiences and training I can heip you find real life solutions so you can better control your situation and bring about changes for positive outcomes.

Need help with sexual issues? Maybe you want to have sex more often, or the sex you're having is not enjoyable. Maybe you think you have a sex addiction, or you want to change unwanted sexual behaviors. Maybe your partner doesn't want to have sex, or you just found out about an affair. Maybe you have sexual performance issues, or you've gone through a traumatic event and have lost all desire for sex. Maybe you just need a safe place to talk about sex without fear, shame, or guilt. Maybe your current counselor is not trained in sexual health and has never asked about your sex life. Sex therapy can help with these issues and more.

Over the course of my counseling career, I have worked with people who were anxious, depressed, stressed, and simply burned out; I have helped couples who have struggled with communication issues and relationship barriers; I have worked with families regarding parenting, abuse, grief, and death; and I have helped adolescents and adults with career planning, self-esteem building, goal setting, and wellness strategies to cope with major life changes. Clients often come to me feeling stuck or hopeless. Through therapy, they find their voices and begin their journey of change.

I am also very excited to have added dating coaching to my list of services offered and would love to discuss with you all that dating coaching is and all that it can potentially do for you!

I am a counselor that realizes that we all have challenges in one's life journey. I can guide you through those life obstacles. I take a holistic approach to life wellness counseling, and I foster that each person is an individual with their own life perspectives. I can help you uncover and explore options within your social context and develop the potential inside you. I believe in providing a supportive, motivating environment to enable you to learn and discover how to enhance your personal view of happiness and life's purpose.

Do you find yourself reliving unpleasant memories from your past? These could be situations of childhood abuse/neglect, the horrors of war, or single traumatic events (such as car accidents, assaults, or any situations in which your life or the life of a loved one was threatened). If this is the case, you might have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which is common in civilian and military populations. THE GOOD NEWS IS THERE IS A SOLUTION. There is a powerful therapy called EMDR which has proven to be effective with not only PTSD, but also many other mental health disorders, because more often than not, trauma is the core issue.

With a life of diverse experiences, I have developed a compelling ability to relate to the trials and struggles we all endure. Having a successful career in business, an enriching marriage, and fulfilling family life, I bring insights to my practice to help you succeed where life causes you to stumble. My approach encourages individuals and couples to address issues, challenge growth, and move toward healthier and more satisfying relationships. With attention to spiritual needs, you will be encouraged to place Christ at the center of your relationships and allow Him to point you toward forgiveness and restoration.

Life is messy and complex. Your pain is unique to you. Whether it’s anxiety, depression or your past that weighs you down, we can navigate these issues effectively. Our issues keep us from feeling good about ourselves and have us asking questions like “Am I alone in experiencing this?” There is this myth in life that we must "face our Dragon" to get the gold or the princess. Then we will be able to start “living life” and be “happy.” The truth is you get neither. But once you have done the work that brought you here to begin with you will be able to navigate your life a bit more effectively. And we both know you can live with that.
