Female Therapists in Tyler, TX

Choosing counseling can be a monumental step in life's journey. I consider it a privilege to come along side you as you are seeking insight, growth and change. I enjoy working with women via phone therapy. My approach to counseling involves consideration of the whole person. Your mind, your body and your spirit. I utilize several counseling theories - Cognitive Behavioral, Solution-Focused, and Emotion-Focused among others. Mostly though, I focus on meeting you where you are and without judgment so that you can experience the growth you desire.

I counsel professional women 25+ who are struggling to survive narcissistic relationships or post-partum depression and anxiety. If you've lost your sense of self and you’re experiencing high levels of chaos, confusion, anxiety, stress, or desperation, and wish the relationship/family system/work environment weren't so controlling OR if you're depressed and fighting to find yourself and a new normal after having a baby, please call. I offer a warm, person-centered approach that will likely include attachment and trauma work and psycho-education through talk, EMDR, and Sandtray therapies. Let's find you again so you can thrive.

You want to appear successful and like you have it "all together" but deep down are struggling to feel confident in who you are or cope with challenging experiences that have occurred in your life. You may be fed up with anxiety and depression, feeling insecure or left behind. You might not even remember a time things didn't feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you're ready for some relief. You're ready to be confident. You're ready to thrive. Most of all, you're ready to trust yourself. Give me a call or text to schedule your first appointment.

A respected author said, "There is power in owning our stories." Are you having a hard time accepting & moving past something in your story? I believe sharing your story & embracing the challenges you are facing is courageous. Some of my interests include managing anger, anxiety, & depression, improving communication & boundary setting, learning recovery skills for self-defeating behaviors, & offering supportive aftercare for suicide attempts.

I'm filled with hope for my clients as they grapple with the pain, hurt, suffering, or fear they are experiencing as they await the time when all things will be made new. I believe all people are created in the imago Dei, image of God, and have incredible worth and value. My desire is to be a conduit in which healing would pass through my life experience and professional training in a way that benefits and brings hope, health, and restoration to those I counsel.

Working from an attachment view point, I strive to provide nurturing and consistent care. I look at how the functioning of family system and caregivers shapes thought patterns, self-images, and behaviors. Through DBT, I explore how behaviors are shaped through attachments to caregivers as well as current relationships.

Trauma can make it feel like there’s a constant rain cloud following you around, impacting your relationships, sleep, work, and outlook on life. You might feel like you're on a never ending roller coaster and it can be scary to take that first step in meeting someone new to help you find sunnier days and a way off that never ending roller coaster - there is hope. I believe in teamwork and genuine human connection as an essential part of counseling. I hope you’ll take a moment to connect by giving me a call or sending me an email to see how we can work together to find sunnier days.

We love our children and want what is best for them. Sometimes positive behaviors and coping skills do not come easy and we need help navigating through the day to day to help our children learn and grow. Maybe your child/ teen is struggling with depression, anxiety or adjusting to changes in life. Maybe you are not sure how to help them through some of the tough challenges and are searching for someone to help guide you and them along the way. It could be that you are searching for someone to talk to about your own stresses in life, as well.

Life can be difficult—full of struggles, challenges, changes, and the unexpected. We keep these events in our minds, whether at the front to consciously influence all of our decisions, or packed away in a box in a corner, to be dealt with ‘in the future’. When your box begins to overflow or you realize that it is time to open it, I’m here to help you unpack, sort, and re-pack the box. My goal is to help you regain control of the box, so that the box no longer controls you.

My goal is to help my clients find health and healing through introspection and understanding of their history and making active change in their lives.

I provide in-person and online, video teletherapy services using Google Meet. My ideal client would be families, single parents and their children, children who have been sexually abused, Pre-Marital, Marital, and dating couples, Siblings, Communication and co-parenting, and basically anyone struggling with another person in their system.

Do you find yourself in the middle of what seems like an unsolvable conflict? Sometimes, we all need a road map to find our way back home to ourselves and each other. Secure connections with those you love are possible. Let me help you reconnect, repair from deep wounds and find peace.

To work with me means working with a person that is understanding, provides a down to earth approach, and allows for a safe environment. Whatever issue or need that brings you in, is one that we can work through collaboratively. Your life is a journey and I am only here to help guide you along the difficult paths. Everyone's journey is different so allow me to welcome you and provide goals necessary to help the journey be less difficult.

The decision to reach out for counseling can be one of the most important and helpful things you can do for your mental health and wellbeing. The process can be frightening and uncomfortable. Sometimes we have to take a step outside of our comfort zones and try something new. One of my professional goals is to help build a calm environment and strong therapeutic relationship conducive to meaningful change.

I enjoy working with the full life span, beginning at 2-years-old, through a wide variety of concerns. I consider it a deep honor to be entrusted on my clients’ paths to wellness and enjoy when clients are able to pursue wholeness, even when they have no words. Using art, play, music, breath work, mindfulness, animal-assisted therapy, EMDR, developmental theories, and other evidence-based treatments, I seek to approach clients with cultural humility and believe in utilizing my clients’ strengths in the journey toward healing.

Do the people around you rely on you because you’re an “over-achiever” or the one who always has it all together? You're putting on a smile while you say “yes” to one more thing, but inwardly you're panicking about how overwhelmed you feel. Or maybe you feel like you’re never perfect enough, no matter how hard you’re trying. Do you wear your constant busyness like a badge of honor because “everyone is just busy, right?” and to ask to slow down might seem like you're just lazy? I bet you look calm and collected on the outside, but do your racing thoughts keep you constantly on edge? If you're nodding your head right now, I get it.

When trauma impacts one member of a family, the ripple effects impact everyone. I believe that the best way to help children and adolescents heal is to work together with parents and caregivers to provide tools and resources for strengthening connection and encouraging positive coping.

Becoming a parent often brings up a wide range of emotions. Sometimes it is the long awaited reward after battling with infertility, or bearing the grief of miscarriage and loss. Sometimes it is the excitement of adding to a growing family. Sometimes it is the fear of reliving physical, emotional, or mental strain and hardship. Sometimes it is grappling with the societal and cultural expectations of parenting. The experiences that arise for parents during conception, pregnancy, birth, postpartum and parenting deserve time and space for specialized care and attention. This specialized care is what I offer in support of your goals.
