Women's Issues Therapists in Tyler, TX

I am looking to assist motivated individuals to evaluate and make healthy changes in their life. My preferred approach to counseling is client-centered counseling in which the client guides the sessions to what is most pertinent and useful for their success. In my sessions, the client is the expert on their own life and needs!

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 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."

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.

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 From discouraged to depressed or anxious or just withdrawn.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.

"I knew it would be hard, but why does everyone else seem to be handling it better than me?" "I'm doing it right, but I don't feel like enough." I get it! This period in life is different and difficult. Life transitions, like going off to college, living on your own, parenting, marriage, adulting, and divorce are all fraught with self-doubt and judgments.

I make it my goal to be a safe place for those who want to explore concerns, work through painful memories, increase insight and learn healthier ways of coping with life’s challenges. Trauma comes in a variety of forms such as abuse/neglect, death of a loved one, divorce/infidelity, natural disasters, poverty, severe illness/injury and violence. These experiences can lead to symptoms such as anger, anxiety, guilt, unexplained pain, sadness and self-destructive behavior.

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.

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.

Coming to counseling is one of the bravest things anyone can do, as it requires emotional strength, humility, and determination to make changes in areas that you may be experiencing some frustration. I consider it a great privilege to come alongside others as they navigate through difficult circumstances, and learn how to get from where they currently are, to where they want to be. I am honored to be a part of their journey of self-discovery, as well as the discovery of truth in their lives.
