Therapists for Teens in Abilene, TX

My philosophy is one of pragmatism, based on treating each client as an individual with specific needs and empowering clients through education as well as introspection. My greatest goal is to help others develop into healthy and whole individuals, and to embrace life’s journey. In the therapeutic process, I empower the client to discover their own resolve, while at the same time directing the client into a safe path of self-discovery.

Welcome! I'm here to provide you with a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts and feelings. My goal is to help you understand your challenges and find ways to overcome them so that you can feel empowered to make positive changes in your life.

Asking for help is not always an easy step, but I believe it is the first and most courageous step you can take when wanting to make changes in your life and relationships. I am committed to helping you achieve the changes you decide are best for you. While therapy may seem scary at first, I am passionate about making the conversation comfortable and empowering.

I earned a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2017. As a mother, public school teacher, and now counselor, I recognize that everyone faces their own unique challenges. My goal is to work collaboratively with clients to establish meaningful goals to enhance lives. I want to empower clients so that they have a greater sense of control in their life. I enjoy working with clients from all walks of life and understand that each stage of life can bring its own challenges.

I enjoy people. I believe that people are people and all people struggle at times. I find it exciting and rewarding to help people who struggle with addiction and are ready to take back control of their lives, and the families that love them. I also work with families that want to communicate better and learn how to live more harmoniously in their lives while still meeting all family members' needs. I specialize in military resilience and addiction.

Your plate is overflowing. You are stressed, overwhelmed and thinking "If one more thing happens..." Whether it's college, career, family obligations, personal health issues and relationship stress – the weight of it can be crushing. You can feel your marriage slipping through your hands. Deep down, you know you're at your limit, and almost at breaking point. You deserve a break, a chance to catch your breath and be truly heard. Making time for therapy may seem difficult, but your future self will be grateful. Your well-being matters, and prioritizing your mental health is an act of self-preservation and courage.

Life does not come with an instruction manual. We often ask ourselves, “Where do I go from here,” and that’s okay! It can be challenging to navigate life's curveballs because we don't know how or we don't feel like we deserve to find healing. Each person’s journey towards healing is different, but everyone deserves a space where they can begin that journey.

Are you struggling with day to day tasks? Perhaps you have been hurt in the past and have not had the time to focus on yourself and your own healing. I specialize in family issues, marriage/couple therapy, depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction. I am a Certified EMDR therapist and Approved Consultant and am happy to discuss this as a potential treatment modality.

After many years as a nurse, a cancer diagnosis led me to change careers mid-life, and as an LCSW, I now assist others in overcoming their own life transitions and obstacles. Major life transitions, such as divorce, loss, moving, retirement, empty nest, debilitating illnesses, and trauma can cause upheaval, grief, and a tremendous amount of stress. I believe that life changes, even the difficult ones, can with intervention result in personal growth, and allow for greater self-discovery and awareness.

An ideal client is someone who may not even know where to start, but is willing to face impacting issues in their life, and are hopeful to learn how to heal and grow thru their trauma and or life experiences.

Do you feel exhausted always chasing the next milestone, but it never feeling like enough? Do you feel burned out and ready to quit but still wanting to achieve your goals? or maybe a sense of self-doubt with the pressure to always perform at your absolute best? Are your relationships suffering because you prioritize your goals over your loved ones? Do you feel like something is missing or unsure of who you are outside of what you can accomplish? Or even worried that others may perceive you as weak or incapable? How is that guilt showing up that you might need to spend time prioritizing your mental health as well?

Let's Connect!!! The opposite of addiction is CONNECTION! I believe in helping others through a holistic and integrative approach. My motto is... "if you can "name-it, claim-it, you can feel-it, heal-it!" Recovery does not have to be intimidating, shaming or boring! With me there is a guarantee that I will hold space for you to unwind and be yourself. If you are not sure who that is, we will have fun exploring and creating endless possibilities together! Are you ready to change your story?

Taking the first step into therapy can bring upon many different thoughts and emotions. I understand this which is why I believe a genuine trust and relationship with your therapist can bring healing and peace. Whether you are faced with something that occurred 2 days ago or 20 years ago, allow me to provide you with a safe place to share your struggles, your stories and your strengths.
