Therapists in The Woodlands, TX

Really, I am a professional tool. I consider myself an instument to be used in your life to help you redesign, renovate, remodel, and/or rebuild your life. Everyone, at some point in their life, feels like the walls are caving in. Typically, we are good do-it-yourselfers and make repairs easily. However, life can get out of hand and the repairs can get too big for us to fix it alone. Let me help you assess the damage, redesign your blueprint, and equip you with the skills to..."Git-R-Done." It would be my honor to work alongside you.

Each of us is born with our special strengths and gifts to offer. Sometimes circumstances of life distance us from that . The goal of therapy is help one reconnect with that beautiful strength within.

Life is a winding road full of many twists and turns that can feel overwhelming and can be chaotic at times. Sometimes, individuals need help making sense of the chaos and learning how to cope with it. I believe that each individual is the expert for their own life and has the ability to solve their concerns when someone walks alongside them and asks the right questions. I desire to help individuals navigate the many issues that can arise in life including struggles with life transitions and other concerns (divorce, moving, job loss, struggles with work/life balance, family conflict, boundary setting, etc.).

"Listen, are you breathing just a little, and calling it life?" - Mary Oliver. There is more. As your therapist, my hope is that the journey we embark on together through your individual story, will offer you a solid foundation for growth, healing, and positive change. I bring an authentic, humorous, empathetic warmth while also challenging you to show up fully and bring your most present self. Through the therapeutic relationship and with you, the expert of your own life, we will access your strengths to navigate each moment.

Here at our center, the goal is to provide holistic mental-health therapy services. We practice empirically-based methods for our patients with a focus on affect, behavioral, and cognitive processes. As a team, we design your treatment plan with the patient's goals in mind. Our optimal goal is for patients to establish the areas they wish to change, experience the therapeutic process in diversified ways, and be afforded the support needed to accomplish their goals in therapy. In general, we look for evidence of change through obtaining both informal and formal feedback.

Feeling stuck in your relationships despite success elsewhere? As a big-vision individual, you're constantly evolving, yet overthinking keeps you from connecting. Sound familiar? Let's break free from this cycle together. Join me on a journey to unlock your potential and cultivate meaningful connections.

Discouragement comes in many forms. My goal is to provide a compassionate environment addressing the discouragement of anxiety, depression, adjustment difficulties, low self-esteem issues, and other situational stressors. In therapy we collaborate to explore life problems and implement change. With children, my goal is to develop a safe and secure child-centered relationship emphasizing acceptance and empathy. The parent-child relationship is the most important factor for a child’s well-being, so I enjoy helping parents learn to use child-centered techniques to effectively respond to their children’s emotional and behavioral needs.

You may be considering therapy because you are hurting,stressed, depressed, anxious, confused,experiencing difficulty sustaining a meaningful relationship, in a spiritual crisis... It takes courage to admit problems and try to change but change is possible in a safe caring environment. I have 20 years experience helping individuals/couples/families explore their hurts and discover hope, new beliefs, new behaviors, and at last a new life for themselves and their relationships. Meeting people where they are, I am a confidential, caring.accepting, compassionalte listener/therapist/coach.

While my therapeutic style calls upon several well established and effective counseling approaches, my main focus is on interpersonal relationships. My passion is to guide my clients on a journey to discover inner strengths and to develop positive patterns of interaction. I am a professional counselor and a marriage and family therapist that loves working with families. All aspects of family life and members of the family (individuals, couples, single parents, entire families, and blended families) are of interest to me. I know that what affects one person in the family affects all members of the family.

Have you ever felt sad, anxious, stuck, or just needing a new perspective? It can be scary to reach out asking for help; however, it actually shows how strong you are, because you will not have to go through it alone. I focus on the strength you have for the challenges you are facing. I feel it's important to work through the struggles that can create intense feelings, so that there can be a sense of hope and a light at the end of the tunnel. I look forward to helping you through the whatever challenges you are presently facing and joining you on your journey.

Relationships are hard! You may not be sure when it started, but you no longer recognize the person sleeping next to you. It’s devastating to think that your marriage may be ending. Maybe you and your partner fight all the time. Or perhaps the two of you are drifting away and no longer feel compatible. On the outside, people think you have it all and you seem to juggle all of life’s demands effortlessly. But on the inside, you are falling apart. You’re exhausted trying to maintain this façade and wondering how much longer you can keep this up. You still have a flicker of hope and want to rekindle what you used to have.

Many of us struggle with issues to which we believe there are no solutions. It may seem that our problems are there at every turn, despite what we do, adding more and more weight for us to carry. We may feel so weighted down that we begin to give up on ourselves. You’re not destined to suffer, however, and have the ability, within yourself, to cope with your problems and lessen this burden. We all have the potential to learn, and counseling can help you to understand and optimize your potential.

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 therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and be the best version of you. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to resolve hindrances and challenges that your life may have caused. I work with both couples and individuals. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you!

I hold an abiding belief that no matter how difficult a person's circumstances may be, it is possible to produce meaningful change. I walk with my client on a unique journey towards self-enhancement, wellness and goal attainment. My theoretical basis takes into consideration the developmental stage of not only the individual but the family as well. In this effort, we explore the emotional and psychological demands of individuation and adaptive coping development. Ultimately, my job is to work myself out of a job, so that you can feel self-assured to carry on without my intervention.

Integrity. Respect. Confidentiality. These are values I live by personally and professionally. The therapeutic process is based on trust; without trust, the therapist and client will only touch upon the shallowest issues. I am proud to demonstrate the highest level of respect for clients and their concerns. My experience in working with clients who differ from me in terms of gender, race, ethnicity, citizenship, political persuasion, intellectual ability, religion, sexual orientation, and economic status has been positive. Helping clients feel comfortable enough with me to engage in the treatment process is of the utmost importance.

I am passionate about helping individuals and families reach their unique, personal goals. I believe a client grows best when there is a positive therapeutic relationship built in a safe and non-judgmental atmosphere. Those who want to build interpersonal insight, increase self-awareness, and are willing to implement new skills will benefit most from therapy. The ability to visualize their desired outcome is an important part of the therapeutic journey for clients and is key in the redevelopment of their personal identity.

Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, anger issues, or life transitions, we can work together to create a plan specifically for you!

With offices in The Woodlands and Houston, I offer the entire gamut of psychological services to individuals of all ages.
