Grief Therapists in San Antonio, TX

Do you find yourself worried or anxious throughout the day? Are your thoughts stuck on repeat, keeping you from living the life you want? Do you feel that stress has taken over the life you once enjoyed? My client-centered approach helps women lessen irrational thinking patterns and self-defeating behaviors. I meet each client where they are in their own person journey and support them as they connect with their true self.

I specialize in brief therapy with a solution-focused approach using my client's strengths to arrive at solutions to their current problem. Oftentimes, these solutions can be practiced and implemented in a relatively short period of time. If necessary, I use additional tools such as cognitive behavioral therapy and hypnosis.

I am EMDR Trained and focus on trauma. Have you tried to talk to other therapists about unusual experiences connected with your trauma, grief , or unrelated situations? Have they dismissed your experiences because they did not understand what you were talking about? Perhaps you are unsure how to label your experience but know that it was special or even transformative. You are looking for improvement in your trauma symptoms, like anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, or relationship challenges, but you also want to better understand and integrate the experiences you had.

No matter what life gives us, be it joyful or difficult moments, our challenge is using these experiences to create a life that is deeply satisfying. Counseling from an empowerment perspective, I believe we all have the ability to create a life of our choosing, regardless of our past or current circumstances.

A therapist serves as the element for change, decision-making, conflict resolution, and having the feeling that progress is achievable through therapy. My philosophy is to provide an atmosphere of no judgment, safety, and reassurance to address overwhelming stressors that create pain, loss , shame, fear, and guilt from childhood to adulthood. I can never think or feel your fears and insecurities. I will not put a silver lining on your life challenges by saying “I understand what you are feeling”. I want to share that moment with you and help you navigate those stuck feelings.
