Relationship Issues Therapists in Bryan, TX

As men, we often tell ourselves, "It's not that bad, I'm good" and brush off our issues. Men are experiencing unique challenges and pressures in our society. With balancing the complexities of manhood and pressures to adhere to masculinity, some men are finding themselves frustrated and confused in how to navigate life. Whether you're juggling issues at work, feeling disconnected from your loved ones, or feeling depressed/anxious, know that you're not alone. The traditional notions of masculinity often discourage emotional vulnerability and disclosure, promoting instead an image of stoicism, strength, and self-reliance.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist specialized to work with couples struggling with intercultural differences. You might feel like there is a disconnect between you and your partner which has led you to feel distant from each other. Maybe you disagree on how to raise the children, or what traditions and routines should look like in your family. These differences may also show up in your relationship with extended family. You are tired of discussing these topics and always ending in an argument with your partner. You want to feel closer to your partner, but you feel stuck and do not know how to make things better.

I am so glad you are here! I am passionate about helping others achieve their goals and work through whatever struggle they are faced with. I emphasize the therapeutic relationship before the specific technique used. As a therapist, I want to focus on the individual as a whole and what is best suited to help you achieve your goal(s). I strive to focus on the problem, solution(s), and your thoughts surrounding it. Sometimes our thoughts can be our worst enemies; working to change our thoughts can help change our outlook on life!

You've taken the courageous first step of looking for support. You never thought you'd end up here... feeling overwhelmed, emotional, and exhausted. You're not sure who you are anymore, and you don't feel like you can push through, ignore, or compartmentalize these feelings any longer. Maybe it started recently after a birth, a fertility struggle, a loss, relationship change, trauma, or life transition. Maybe it started much earlier in life. Either way, this territory feels difficult for you, and you're ready to give yourself what you find so much easier to give to others... HELP.

Do you feel like there are no words to describe how you feel inside? I agree, sometimes there just aren't. I draw on my personal experience with chronic illness, substance abuse and divorce to help others create a place where those overwhelming feelings can find a voice. Together we will develop the courage required to answer the tough questions in your life...honestly. "Why can't I stop?","Will this kill me?" or "How will I get over this?" I believe that confronting life with rigorous honesty can be scary as hell. But, I know it pays off big time.

My approach when meeting and treating new clients is simple: you are not alone. We will start there. I work with individuals, couples, and families that find themselves struggling with relationships, anger, depression, hopelessness, addictions of all sort, anxiety and everything in between. I want to walk alongside my clients to help them find their true selves and find meaning in whatever they do and whoever they intend to be. I use person-centered, cognitive-behavioral techniques, alongside skills building and mindfulness.

I believe in the inherent capability of individuals to grow and change. I have over 25 years experience as a counselor, educator, supervisor and manager. I look forward to the opportunity to help you make the changes you want, and may even need, to be as effective as possible and meet your life or professional goals. It has been my life-long goal to help people make the changes they desire, and sometimes need, to function as effectively as possible.

As a practicing psychologist my role is to use my training and experience to assist the client with making changes that will improve their personal satisfaction with everyday life. I work in a collaborative manner to help individuals clarify their difficulties and set reasonable goals to achieve problem resolution. Each client brings their own unique circumstances to the counseling session. Relationships, depression, anxiety, loss, trauma, communication, family conflict, and addictive behaviors are some of the common themes that are addressed in counseling.

Our psychological, emotional, and social well being is an important aspect of our overall health. In fact, when our mental health is out of balance it could have a negative impact on our physical health and vice versa. Common factors that affect our mental health include loss of a loved one, medical diagnosis, relational and family issues, difficulty finding life/work balance, job loss or work dissatisfaction, life transitions, and past/current traumatic events. These are part of living and being human. Counseling is one resource that could help you get through these difficult times, to process your feelings and learn coping tools.

I have hope that everyone is capable of growth and change. I would like to help you in whatever challenges you are facing. Learning about myself and others has helped me grow. Life at best is always moving and changing, we must learn how to adapt and grow from the process.

Do you feel lonely, sad, or overwhelmed? Do you have a hard time expressing your emotions or feel disconnected from those you love? Are you tired of pretending everything is OK? We get it. It seems like you have tried everything, but you just don't know how to make it better. We know that you just want to be able to feel happy again, to be connected to others, to be able to share your emotions, and to be "well". Life is about being able to navigate the ups and downs in a way that is healthy personally, emotionally, mentally, relationally, and even spiritually. We can help.

My focus in therapy is to help individuals and couples increase their level of self-acceptance and their ability to engage and connect in love, sex, and intimacy. I believe that life is messy and that everyone's situation is a product of their environment, experiences, knowledge, and previous decisions. I gravitate to Solution Focused based therapy with a touch of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques.

Relationships are often the most difficult part of our lives. While they may provide companionship and comfort, they can also be a source of conflict and pain. Regardless of who we are or from where we came, we will each face life events that challenge our sense of self. Our response to each event - a crossroad - can shape the remainder of our journey. I am honored to walk with you as you consider your paths and take those crucial steps.

I provide a nonjudgmental and safe place for you to explore your concerns. Each person receives a personalized approach to set goals and work toward a more fulfilling life. I use biblical and psychological principals to help you achieve insights, make changes, overcome obstacles, and gain balance in life. My clients affirm my warmth, acceptance, encouragement, and pragmatic style of therapy.
