Female Therapists in Taylor, TX

Each of us encounters circumstances that leave us feeling overwhelmed, confused, and unbalanced. My approach is designed to help you explore life challenges, find alternatives, prepare for obstacles that may get in the way, and forge a new path on your road to a more balanced and meaningful life. Our work together will help you clarify your values, find expression of those values, and create significant meaning and purpose in your life.

I work with couples where one or both individuals suffer from anxiety and are ready to move from stuck and afraid to freedom and peace. This can be from a trauma that keeps them from showing up authentically in their world. It can be from the pressure of being a church, community or business leader who feel they must save face or suffer in silence. It could also be those constantly struggling through systemic and multigenerational trauma, depression or PTSD. I even help couples in their intimate relationship that they want to strengthen, transform, and save.

As a graduate of UT in Social Work I developed passion for helping others find balance and well-being, regain lost joy and navigate difficult changes. As a Licensed Profession Counselor having earned my Master in Clinical Mental Health, I gained a deeper understanding of how to guide others through the difficult journey toward resolution of past trauma, victory over addiction, the painful struggle dealing with grief and loss, navigating the anxiety producing maze of life choices. How may I help you live your best life? I am fully vaccinated and will see clients face-to-face who are like wise.

Symptoms are signals received from both the conscious mind from various sources throughout the body, an indication that something is wrong. By avoiding theses indicators, clients with extending and spiraling issues are able to address symptoms that would otherwise end in a complex and convoluted crises. Obviously our weaknesses and issues, such as anger, insecurity, fear of intimacy, and/or the need to control are expressions of a wounded child within. Much of society has been wounded through abuse or dysfunctional families. Unresolved conflicts tend to carry-over into our adult functioning.

I wear a lot of hats in life- I'm a bonus mom, partner, daughter, friend, colleague, woman. I'm a human. I know what it's like to feel shame, anger, sadness, fear, and pain. I also know happiness, love, safety, gratitude, and hope. I've had a lot of experiences- some beautiful, some not. I share this because it's important to know that while I've not been in your shoes, I've walked in shoes of my own. I know that we are all just doing the best we can at the time. My goal is facilitate a safe environment where people can explore who they are and where they've been, gain insight, and learn skills to live a happier and healthier life.

My interest is in people, their unique stories, and what brings them to therapy plays an important role in my work. I see my job as helping each individual understand what may be interfering in achieving their goals. I use a variety of techniques, tailored to each person's needs. I enjoy the process of forming a unique, collaborative relationship with each individual, leading to helpful change.
