Narrative Therapists in 77054

Courage, compassion, curiosity, and vulnerability are key elements of my practice as I help people throughout their therapeutic journey. I prioritize an honest, non-judgemental, open, genuine space and therapeutic relationship to best aid you with what your journey entails and encompasses. My work consists of supporting adults and teens ages 16 and up through complex trauma history and healing, navigating close and intimate relationships, unpacking major life transitions, intentional exploration of your identity and sense of self, or processing the unbearable loss of a loved one.

I partner with individuals, couples, families and groups to reverse the narrative of frustration and confusion to understanding, confidence, and stability. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Student Intern, but I have over 25 years of experience as a higher education administrator, leader in a spiritual setting, mentor, and business leader. In those roles I have worked with individuals from many backgrounds and situations.

"No! "Mine!" "Leave me alone!" "I don't want it!" "Go away!" "I hate you!" Screaming, yelling. You hear this when raising a young child as well as a teenager. You know that some of this is okay; they are learning and growing. However, is all of it age appropriate? Their yelling is constant, their behavior is out of control, they are not following directions and their mood does not seem right. You feel frustrated, overwhelmed, concerned and nothing you do makes it better. You have tried disciplining, talking, taking away from them and used every tool you know but nothing has worked. You need help. There is something deeper going on.

Are you struggling to feel understood, supported, or connected? Has life thrown you some hardships and you find yourself trying to "just be"? Have you been through challenging transitions? Have you suffered a loss of signifance? Career? Or relationship possibilities? You may be searching for connection, support, and understanding. Are you wanting to feel heard and validated because the people in your life are too busy with their own lives or you haven't found the words to explain what you have been facing currently? It is difficult to manage the struggles that come with life but it can be done effectively.

Congratulations on taking a bold step toward living your best life! Whatever brought you here, embrace it as the catalyst to your transformation and growth. As your therapist, my primary priority is - YOU! What do you need? What do you want? What obstacles are you facing? Do you need support obtaining your goals? Want support getting on the "same page"? Can you remember why you chose to be together? Are you ready to live your best life - NOW?

Perhaps you find yourself here because you are ready for a change that's been a long time coming.
