Teletherapy for Spring, TX

I am a certified anxiety and trauma therapist (EMDR), and relationship expert (PhD. in marriage and family therapy and LCSW-S) with over 19 years of experience. I provide individual, couple, and family therapy. Many of my clients are seeking alternatives other than prescription medication for anxiety and depression. I am a practitioner of yoga and a herbalist. I'm not just EMDR "trained", but also certified with advanced hours in trauma.

After an 8-year career in public relations, I was called to the helping profession and received my master's in social work in 2011. Since then, I have been called a "fierce advocate" and "impassioned counselor" by my clients and colleagues. I have served as a therapist in medical/trauma and psychiatric hospitals, intensive outpatient programs (IOPs), in community health and in schools.

Many psychological problems are tied to relationship struggles - sex and money are two of the biggest struggles implicated in these cases either as cause, consequence, or something in between. These struggles are emotionally moving manifestations of the human need for connection and the deep pain felt when this connection is damaged or severed. I help individuals and couples seek relationship-deepening events, become more fluent in the language of others, and understand that satisfying relationships are contingent on the ability to relate to the people you value in your life.

Your relationship is worth fighting for, but it shouldn't be something that you fight over. Though finances, sex, and matters of spiritual faith can be common issues that people argue over, there are many more things that challenge relationships, and I've had the benefit and pleasure to help many people in diverse relational difficulties. You are not alone, quite literally every adult has faced difficulty within relationships. Whether there has been infidelity, loss of trust, abusive tendencies, lost connections, lack of relational congruency or cohesion, poor communication, family problems, commitment issues, or irresponsibility.

Being a parent is hard. Being a Christian parent, to a hurting child, in a secular world, is even harder. Your child, or even you, may be struggling with anxiety or other mental health or behavioral concerns. You want your child to talk to you and tell you how they're feeling. You want to know what to say to comfort them and what to do when they're in a crisis. You want answers to all the questions swirling in your head and heart right now. I can help you answer them by teaching you about powerful, prayerful parenting.

Ever feel like you are running between one huge stressor to the next? Always feeling you need to put out one fire or another, without the best results? Others don't seem to have as hard a time managing everything like this. Between the moments of anxiety that alternates with bouts of downright panic, it feels like life is running you rather than how you thought it would be. Does a harsh internal dialogue from your past history not promise much hope? The toll this anxiety takes on sleep, relationships, and overall health is going to take a toll someday. There has to be a better way to deal with all of this.

Are you a young to middle aged adult that gives and caters to others yet feels lost from your own life’s purpose? Do you set meaningful goals but stay stuck in procrastination? Does high anxiety drive self-sabotaging behaviors of over eating, drinking, and screen time? You love the people in your life yet feel unseen or find yourself in a toxic relationship you keep hoping will change. Experiences in our past such as childhood neglect, shaming, bullying, a divorced or conflict in the home, loss of a loved one or other adverse events have a lasting negative impact on our lives today.

You are here, right now, reading my profile, to determine if I can be of help. You are reading my profile because you have reached the point at which something in your life or the life of someone you love and care about has become too unbearable, stressful, unmanageable, or perhaps hurtful. Whether it's something that recently happened or something from the past that has been weighing you down, you've already taken a huge step forward in looking for help...I'm proud of you for that.

You look around and think to yourself, what happened? Each day you feel pulled further and further away from the life you thought was yours. Your morning thoughts go something like this: please let my child have a good day at school; who is this person sitting across the table from me and what happened to the one I said "I do" to? how am I ever going to get through this day? It is so tough to maintain strength, hope, and individuality when your family is in distress, your marriage feels like a failure, your teen is unrecognizable, or you're just completely out of energy. I get it! I'm here! Together we can figure this out.

FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE to meet your needs! THERE IS AN OPEN SPOT FOR YOU! I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of counseling roles for the last 18 years. This experience has allowed me to effectively work with a wide range of individuals, groups, children, adolescents, teens, seniors, couples and families in anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, addictions, self-esteem, anger management, marriage conflicts, obsessive-compulsive disorders, phobias and post-traumatic stress disorders. My essential goal for each client is to establish empowerment, nurture successful growth and find positive direction.

Everyone can benefit from connecting with someone who will intentionally hold space for us to explore, question, learn, heal, or grow. Mental healthcare can have different angles and facets. Sometimes we need professional support from a preventive and early intervention stand point (life transitions, increase resilience, processing experiences) and other times we may need it for treatment (diagnosis, moderate to severe symptoms, significant distress). Either way, it is best to be proactive about our overall health and wellness.

Do you need to unplug? In this world of technology and 24/7 social media, we are more connected than ever...or are we? Modern day technology has revolutionized our daily lives, but it has also come at a high price. Ironically, many people have never felt more alone or isolated. Please know that there is a safe place where you can go and feel free to be yourself, where you will be heard, and your thoughts and feelings do matter. I'm offering you a comforting, warm, and inviting environment where you can feel connected to another person, get away from harsh criticisms and where no one will judge you.

Have worries about your child's development or social skills? Is your child having trouble focusing? Does he need more time on tests? Has she complained that reading is difficult? I use psychological testing to help parents move from confused & concerned to clear & confident without wasted time. My extensive training in testing from birth through adults gets you answers & a plan, FAST. The investment of a good evaluation up front cuts down on time spent guessing & "trying" solutions that don't get results. You get solid data about your child's strengths, weaknesses, & needs. Reach out to learn more about how testing can help you.

I have been providing therapeutic services since 2007, and as a wife, mother, grandmother, entrepreneur, counselor and student, I understand the many hats a person wears to manage life. I understand the challenges that occur when you attempt to balance your life as things are falling apart. I am always humbled when clients entrust me to join them on their journey to healing, and I never take that trust for granted. I believe a professional partnership between a therapist and a client should be treated with empathy and integrity. I strive to be a good steward of that partnership.

I've had the privilege of working in a variety of settings, with individuals, couples, and families experiencing different challenges. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you, and to walk together to heal, to unlock your potential, and to achieve your goals. Being from a different country has become a strength in my practice to naturally be culturally sensitive in my sessions and to have more meaningful interactions with my clients of different backgrounds.

Yes, it's time. Often, all we need is to give ourselves permission to take that step. You are here because you have taken that step to seek support and understanding.

If you are seeking support from a therapist who specializes in using holistic and alternative approaches to facilitate deeper understanding and insight; Congratulations, you've come to the right place.
