Life is not always perfect. There are ways to live through difficult moments a little easier. I like to think of counseling like a space where you get to explore, connect, and grow.

Counseling can sometimes feel scary, but when you don’t feel balanced it can carry into other aspect of your life.

You can heal in your goals by developing new skills to become the better person you want to be. By overcoming behavioral issues in whatever lifestyle and situation you find yourself in. In counseling, we can see our vulnerability as human beings where we find ourselves facing irrational ways of thinking that take us to negative feelings and then we act them out. Thus, the process of learning other ventures to life is to face ourselves at times with our own issues and learn to re-think things out. To heal ourselves is to also not only learn to change ourselves but to forgive ourselves along the journey of our lives.

Heartbreak is as old as time and still so painful and lonely! It is a unique recovery because after a relationship loss a person is left to confront two paths of recovery at the same time. You may be both grieving the loss of your relationship while focusing on rebuilding a new life and reality. I have seen my clients grow and even thrive despite the heartache though! I am seeing clients throughout Texas online and in person for the RGV area in McAllen TX. If you are feeling down, anxious and overwhelmed by the changes in your life, I want to help you feel confident and secure again.

Sometimes life is hard. At times, the things that seem to work in the past don’t work as well anymore. Counseling is designed to help people overcome hard times by partnering with them to find resolution and wellness.

You may have specific issues to address or just want to enhance your day-to-day living. I view counseling as a way to enrich your life. Over many years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside countless people as we successfully find solutions to their mental health and addiction issues.
