Deer Park, TX 77536 (Online Only)
I specialize in anxiety, depression, and relationship issues but my counseling focus also includes grief, anger management, career counseling, spirituality, self esteem, parenting, and family conflict.
Life can be a rollercoaster ride and there are times when we experience tough times or frustration. Managing those situations and emotions can be challenging. In life we are taught how to do many tasks and skills but when was the last time someone taught you how to deal with your emotions? My goal is to help you learn how to identify those emotions, learn how to cope, and work through your problems to build your emotional toolbox. Sometimes we just need someone to talk to who will truly listen without judgment and offer support. That is where I am able to assist. I am able to provide either faith-based or secular counseling.

Waitlist for new clients
I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelors of Science from Texas Tech University in Human Development and Family Studies.
There is a season in everyone's journey when you need an objective listener to affirm your strengths and identify any self-defeating patterns preventing you from being your best self. Over the past 20 years, I have valued collaborating with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, women's issues, career struggles, spirituality, overcoming abuse, healing relationships, coping with chronic/acute medical conditions, preparing/coping for retirement, care-giving, and terminal illness. Grieving is a natural response to any significant loss. I see adults 23 yrs and up. No children, teens, or couples.

Asking for help can be scary, and it’s my job to help guide and encourage you to take the steps necessary for change in your life….at your own pace based on your own needs. Trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, and even grief can take root in our everyday lives without us even knowing it. They can manifest and effect our well being in negative ways. Once we realize they are there, it takes a lot of courage to seek change. I am very passionate about guiding individuals from ages 12 and beyond through transitions of life that may encompass dealing with these issues and more.

I understand the importance of seeing the person as an individual as well as seeing the person as a part of a whole family unit assisting the family and the individual in finding balance within themselves and within the structure of the family.
When you hear " Lifestyle Transitions" what comes to mind? The concept speaks for itself. When creating a safe space, the goal is to you transition your new being and your new lifestyle using effective psychological treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which has been used to treat an array of issues such as anxiety, depression, marital problems, as well as severe mental illness along with DBT and other modalities. As a therapist, I have empathy for clients who are faced with the day to day struggles of feeling overwhelmed and uncertain on how to navigate life.

“Your mental health is everything — prioritize it. Make the time like your life depends on it because it does.” — Mel Robbins. I believe that I didn't choose to be a mental health professional, the profession chose me. I remember helping my friends in High school with their traumas and life transition issues. The ability to connect and make people feel comfortable talking to me about their personal stories took me on this professional path. What I love the most about being a mental health professional is having the opportunity and privilege of being a part of people’s journeys.

I believe in working together with the family system to help your child overcome anxieties, big feelings, and any other life challenges.
Your child or tween is described by teachers, coaches, and other adults as a pleasure to work with, but at home, you know they're struggling. They put so much pressure on themselves to be perfect, despite your reassurances. You're constantly soothing their worries or anxiety and they might be crying or having trouble sleeping at night. They always seem to see the worst in themselves or have low self esteem and you know they’re capable of so much more. You’ve read the parenting books and blogs, listened to the podcasts, and nothing is working. It’s exhausting! As a play therapist and mom myself, I get it!

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
