Therapists in Medina County, TX

I'm about love, self-compassion, radical acceptance, embracing failure, trusting your innate wisdom and starting over. I fundamentally believe in every person's ability to recover from trauma, addiction and life, in general. Experience has taught me that no one is really avoiding anything. When people accuse you of not dealing with something, what they are really saying is you aren't dealing with it the way they want you to. From my perspective, if you wake up every morning and breathe in and out all day long, you're dealing with your stuff. A tiny bit of intention is all it takes to begin healing.

Life can be rough, and sometimes we need a little help getting by and coping. I have always been led to help people, and have found my calling in counseling people through their trials. I have worked with individuals of various ages and issues. My goal is to help you build coping skills to get you over the challenges in your daily life and return to a sense of balance and serenity.

You've taken that first step. Something is not right. You need help. We barely have enough time to do the things that are required. How do we fit anything else in? That's why I would like to be your therapist. I have designed my practice to suit your needs through 100% tele-sessions. With the resources that are available to us now, there is just no reason that any of us should endure these trials alone. I have the expertise to provide you with the care necessary to address your specific concerns.

Patients very often say "I wish I had started my treatment years ago". The harsh reality is that emotional struggles to this day continue to be stigmatized and shamed. The brain is an organ, and like any other physiological system it may require some fine tuning from time to time. Whether you or a loved one have been under the grips of anxiety, depression, difficulty sleeping, or simply sub-optimal functioning, we can have an open, honest discussion about whether medication is the right answer. Throughout my 15 years in psychiatry, I've had no greater joy than to see my patients improve. It's never too late to get help.

I entered the field of counseling because of a desire to help those in crisis or who are experiencing difficulties in their lives. I realized I wanted to be a counselor while working at a local community college. I saw students who were struggling academically but were very bright. I came to understand that there are many factors that go into being successful at life. I have always had a helping nature but didn’t fully understand why people behaved they way they did. Through my education and experience I can now help people in their personal lives, relationships and careers.

Are you grieving the loss of something or someone you loved? Perhaps it was the traumatic loss of a person close to you or your health due to illness. Maybe you’re grieving the person you once knew who you’ve lost due to substances, dementia, or mental health. Grief is a difficult, exhausting, and often isolating process. You may feel like you don’t even know how to or want to move forward, or you may have thought you did and are only now realizing you could use some support to do that. You’re looking for a safe place to start on or move forward in your grief journey.

I have dedicated my life to pursuing knowledge that empowers client's to move away from both past and current sufferings. Life is challenging, please afford me the opportunity to help you navigate and heal your sufferings. Restore peace and tranquility to both your heart and your mind!

I'm passionate about helping clients with complex, treatment-resistant issues, as well as more manageable concerns like anxiety. I've helped creative types tap into their potential, clients with bipolar disorder stabilize extreme mood swings, and those with schizophrenia conquer intense hallucinations and nightmares. Having overcome PTSD myself, I've faced the darkness, and I'm driven to help others find the light, no matter their struggles. In our work together, we'll play detective, unravel the mystery of your deepest concerns, unearth the roots of your challenges, and craft personalized interventions that speak to you.
