Women's Issues Therapists in Buda, TX

Life's a journey, with many unexpected twists and turns. Sometimes we need someone to talk to, someone to share our thoughts and feelings, dreams and fears, and help guide us toward resolution. I want to help my clients navigate this path, and to also experience the possibilities of living their best life possible. I work with older teens and adults, and also specialize in women's issues across the lifespan, as well as those with health concerns. College students are a special interest, as are educators, as I’ve worked as a teacher and school counselor and understand the stress and dynamics associated with the profession.

Hello, and welcome! The decision to seek professional help can be a difficult one, and I am happy you had the courage to do so. Through empathy and compassion, I create a safe space where clients feel comfortable sharing their innermost selves. That vulnerability allows for healing, which is the catalyst towards creating real and lasting change in your life.

If you feel like you're on the margins of society in some way, perhaps struggling with the constraints of traditional norms, and worry that therapy might feel stifling or judgmental, you're not alone. Most of us don't fit neatly into standardized societal boxes. The trauma of trying to conform and fit in may weighs heavily. As a therapist, I offer a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your identity, experiences, and challenges without fear of invalidation. Together, we can navigate the complexities of your unique journey towards healing and self-discovery, honoring and celebrating the multifaceted aspects of, you.

I have a passion for teaching individuals, couples and families how to improve their relationships, build confidence and self-esteem, and find greater happiness and satisfaction in life. I work with clients to help them develop strategies and learn specific skills to reach the goals they desire, while also understanding how their changes will impact the people around them. Therapy should feel hopeful and productive, and I love seeing people grow and change and feel more empowered, peaceful and happy with their lives as they learn new things and experience the satisfaction of seeing rapid change.

"I believe in people and their desire to be in balance. My best clients are the ones who are ready to make the decision to experience therapy as a tool in their self-discovery and healing process. I want to help them believe that change is possible no matter how their lives have been affected by emotional & mental problems, trauma, and multiple painful experiences. I am here to help you learn how to create your own balance and harmony and achieve order out of chaos making your life more meaningful."

Although beautiful, life can bring chaos and moments of pain sometimes creating mental, emotional and spiritual wounds. Therapy can be a space to tend to those wounds finding strength in our adversity. I support clients by exploring their experiences integrating relational healing, spirituality, and grief work with the goal of overcoming hardships making space for more joy, wellness, and love.

Women experience many unique stressors. We face outside pressures from society, family, and friends about how we should act, look, or feel. Are you are in a crisis situation, going through a separation/divorce, struggling with the demands of school, peer pressure, parenting and/or step parenting? Do you feel like you don't have the strength to handle it all or that you have lost yourself in the process.

I can provide you with a structured and short-term plan to help you retrain your sleep schedule and feel like yourself again.

My passion is working with individuals and families to help them overcome everyday obstacles and unexpected events. I bring a wealth experiences both personally and professionally to counseling.

Are you experiencing unexpected changes in your life? Are things not what you thought they would be at this point? Do you find yourself avoiding feelings or situations? Now, more than ever, we are all figuring out how to adjust to transitions in our work and personal life. For so many of us, we have learned to push through and put ourselves last. Maybe this way of living has served you previously but is quickly becoming overwhelming. We are resilient but in order to thrive we need community. You have already done the hardest part by looking for support. This step speaks to the fact that you are ready to make some changes.

Hi! I have been practicing as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas for about 15 years. I received my Masters degree in counseling from St. Edwards University.

Waking up to a new day, but it's like déjà vu all over again. The daily grind feels more like an endless loop of the same old routine, and despite the wins, something's missing. It's like living in Groundhog Day, minus the comedy. Behind the scenes, there's a tug of war happening. Success? Check. Anxiety? Triple check. It's a weird mix of "I'm doing okay" and "What am I doing with my life?" that's hard to ignore. Want to find meaning in the midst of the chaos? Learn to stop avoiding the "boogie monster", stop people pleasing, gain perspective, and set boundaries for yourself. Get in the driver's seat again. I see and hear you!

I love that each one of us has unique life experiences. Each life experience is different, some cause us joy and happiness while others cause pain and suffering. These experiences help create our story. Let’s explore each chapter of your story in hopes to find healing where there is pain and hope where suffering has existed. Let’s walk on this healing journey together to uncover who you are, to discover what you already have inside of you and to provide you more tools to make this healing possible.

Do you have trouble getting out of bed in the morning (or evening for you shift workers)? Do you dread going to work? Are you going through a major life transition? You may be experiencing burnout, depression, or stress. You are not alone, and I am excited to start this journey with you. I am here to meet you wherever you are. I won’t bore you with all the technical terms, but I use a variety of approaches that I tailor to your needs. I provide a client-led space to collaborate on your needs and goals. You can cuss, cry or laugh during our sessions together.

You're already feeling overwhelmed and things continue piling up. You question whether your unhappiness is situational or if it has something to do with your past. You want to feel better, but life seems out of balance and you feel hopeless. You need help getting back on track and sorting through what is contributing to your low mood, anxious thoughts, or troubled sleep.

I have learned that each individual has unique therapeutic needs and because of this, I strive to create an environment where you can discover your inner strengths and resilience in a setting filled with safety and compassion. I believe in a collaborative approach focusing on your own strengths and values. We will focus on internal narratives and beliefs challenges as well as challenging (external) behaviors that may be roadblocks to finding the life that you are striving for.
