Teletherapy for Tyler, TX

I love working with anyone that feels like something has not been going right for them, be it for a long time or just a little while. I enjoy working with people that have anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment difficulties and people that just are feeling, again, like something is off. I seek to both equip my clients with the skills and tools they need to more effectively get through their lives as well as address inner difficulties so that the quality and satisfaction of life can be increased.

Everyone has life challenges. The best version of yourself can emerge with effective strategies to cope with distress. I provide hope for individuals and couples who are dealing with complex issues such as grief, relationship struggles, economic pressures, depression, spiritual/religious trauma caused by abuse, and many other stressors. My approach is trauma-informed—I see how past hurts affect the present.

Do you feel like something is missing? Have you been “pulling it all together” or trying to “keep it together”, but you feel like “you’re going crazy”? You have a mixture of feelings like sadness, confusion, guilt, anxiety, anger, and regret that change from moment to moment or from day to day. You may have depression, anxiety or trauma, but no one told it could all actually be linked to unresolved grief. Whether you are aware you are grieving or not, it’s ok to reach out and get help from a professional. Grief is an extremely personalized experience that comes with very unique personal thoughts and feelings inside of you.

We have interactions with others, and with ourselves (internally) everyday. When there is a lack of connection on any level we can become distressed or any number of things. From discouraged to depressed or anxious or just withdrawn. I love working with clients who are seeking to find a balanced and healthy daily interaction within themselves and hopefully with others. It is my heartfelt belief that we are all unique and created to connect with those around us on a level that both brings peace for ourselves and gives back to others in our relationships.

Having unhealed trauma can feel overwhelming and all-consuming. It can make doing basic life tasks very difficult. It can feel like a weight or shackles constantly weighing you down. You use all of your energy to just “keep it together” but you eventually break down with all-consuming memories, feelings, or even numbness. These plus many other symptoms are NORMAL for what you have experienced.

Using a Person-Centered/Cognitive-Behavioral therapeutic approach, I have a passion for helping adults nurture wellness through the mind, body, and spirit. I work alongside clients to identify core beliefs and automatic thoughts that influence emotions and behaviors. Clients learn how to recognize their strengths and resources while vocalizing their worth.

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.

Are you looking for a safe place to vent and a judgment free space? You worry about how you will accomplish all of your goals and get overwhelmed. You find yourself looking for perfection and have thoughts about not being good enough. You notice feelings of irritation, guilt, and shame. Possibly, all of this stress leads you to winding-down your day with a glass of wine or numbing your feelings with drugs. Are you ready for life to be different? I have over 15 years of experience helping individuals just like you. I can help you take back control of your life. I can help you learn healthy ways to cope with stress or anxiety.

I strive to provide a safe and nurturing environment, free of judgment for my clients as they work towards self-understanding and personal empowerment. We will collaborate together to understand the dynamics of their current struggles, compassionately unravel the dynamics of their past, and examine how it has impacted their overall wellness. I am trauma-informed, and have an integrative approach to counseling - which simply means I tailor sessions to fit your unique personality and most effectively meet your most pressing needs.

Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed by your feelings? Maybe you often feel anxious and overthink situations? You want to feel more at peace in your life and around others. Or maybe you feel like you are never perfect enough, despite your best efforts? Constant worry about what others think of you keeps you up at night. Do you stay really busy to avoid your feelings of inadequacy or sadness? Does self-doubt creep into your mind in spite of trying to build confidence within yourself? If this resonates with you, I get it.

Life has its challenges. I am here to help you if you are feeling stuck. Whether you are struggling with grief, loss, depression, anxiety, marital problems, ADD, or other issues, I can help you. I can be an extra set of ears for you and I believe that therapy can be just the right thing for many people for a season. I am here to help you become the person you want to be. You don't have to be stuck any more. I encourage you to make the first step toward a better life. I am here for you.

If you are having difficulty adjusting, letting go, or starting again there is hope. We can identify barriers and set goals that will transition you into the next chapter of your life. We can't change the past but we can start were you are and move to create change in the future. You are the author of your own life story. What will you write? I would like to help you figure that out. Let us journey, together, into new beginnings as you break new ground. We will start were you are and work to systematically help you reach your goals to create the life you desire to experience.

If you’re like me, you know what the right thing is. After all, you’re the expert on you. But that’s just the problem, isn’t it? You know the right thing, you know what’s true, and yet still you struggle with self-criticism and doubt. You know you can’t be perfect, and yet you feel shame for not being enough. And you don’t know how to reconcile what you know with what you feel. Truthfully, this is a common problem. But just because it’s common, doesn’t mean you have to go along with it.

I believe that we all have the right to be mentally, spiritually and emotionally healthy. I love having a part in impacting the lives of others, and providing hope and support during life’s challenges--big or small.

We all need someone to hear our story, to respect our tears, and to help us be courageous as we walk the path toward healing. I stay present through your pain, hurt, and discovery. Trauma, doubt, and fear can easily consume our thoughts, and provoke emotional distress and a sense of loss. Beginning the processing step can feel scary, but it certainly doesn't have to be a journey you take alone. I am here, ready to hear your story and help you navigate these feelings and reconnect you with your authentic self. I work with teens, adults, families and couples. Let me know how I can help.

"I feel a true heart calling to work with those who are hurting and in need. I believe that we are created to fellowship with the Lord and called to experience a life of joy through a personal and growing relationship with Him. I believe a person's heart is their well spring of life, and true change comes for a person when their heart is changed."

Have you ever wanted a place where you can just be without expectation and feel heard? This is your place! I would love to connect with you and empower you to reach your goals!

You should be proud. It takes a significant level of strength to take the step of looking for a counselor. I applaud starting the process... but don't give up now! We all face challenges stages of the path of life - mental, physical, spiritual, relational; all of it. It can significantly help to find an understanding and caring professional who brings their heart, soul as well as training and a team model, to walk alongside of us along those challenges stages. My team and I would love to come alongside.
