Therapists in Texas
I have a private practice in Houston Heights. My doctoral training was completed at the University of Houston, Loma Linda VA in California, and MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. I see people with a variety challenges, but substance use issues, anxiety, and depression are my areas of specialization. My approach to therapy stems from acceptance and mindfulness strategies, meaning I help people identify who and what is most important to them and then to move in a positive way in those directions, despite the unpleasant feelings that often keep us stuck.

Defeat the bad behavior not the kid. Play is the natural language of the child. Rules without relationship equals REBELLION- are terms I have used throughout my clinical career. Parents, remember the behaviors didn't take overnight to appear, nor will they disappear overnight. But with empathy, compassion, consistency equals CHANGE. OCFS specializes in children from 3 to 13 yo. Mobile-Office-Telehealth services available. OCFS is also a proud provider of Medicaid (Superior Health, Dells Children).

I believe all human beings strive to create fulfilling lives with meaningful connections to others. Having a greater understanding of our strengths and weaknesses enables us to make better decisions that lead to living the life we imagine for ourselves. Through therapy, I assist clients in gaining insight into themselves through increasing coping and self-awareness. We will examine and identify values/strengths in order to make realistic goals and movement towards the life you want. Time - friend or foe? "And then one day you find ten years have got behind you, no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun."

Couple issues? Family problems? Children or Adolescents with issues? An individual struggling with problems? No matter the stage in your life or relationship there can be bumps in the road at times. Sometimes no matter how hard you may try, you may find you are struggling. Sometimes we find that despite our best efforts we may need help with certain aspects of life. Perhaps we need help leaving old unhealthy behaviors behind, or maybe we need help learning better ways of communicating with our loved ones.

People come into therapy because they want change. The pain of doing what you're doing, is bigger than the fear of changing. A good therapist knows pain, fear and change. Their job is to be a part of your team because you know you are doing this FOR YOU. I know the feeling. Well. Trauma comes, and nobody invites it in. It happens to you. You do what you can with what you have and what you know. Until someone gives you a better way. I want to be your someone, part of your team. I specialize in Depression and Anxiety and Trauma. I know what you are feeling and I know it does get better.

Do you struggle with the loss of your sense of self that impairs day-to-day functioning? Do you feel overwhelmed by the thought that there’s no light at the end of the tunnel? Are you curious if life could feel more enjoyable? Now more than ever, teens and young adults are feeling anxious, uncertain, or inadequate about navigating through past traumas and finding meaning in their lives. Suppressing your emotions and not taking time for your needs or self can lead to long-term concerns for your body and mind. I believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life.
