Aetna Therapists in Fair Oaks Ranch, TX

I specialize in helping college students and adults during life changes that affect the family dynamics and/or the individual person. Whether it's divorce, death, relationship changes, adjustment disorders, depression (including post-partum) and anxiety, I will provide a supportive, person-centered approach using relational therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help the individual gain insight and learn effective coping skills to lead a balanced, healthy life.

I prefer the term "patient" over client because I believe people want healing in therapy, Effective therapy is one where patients are treated with compassion and value in a nurturing relationship that allows them to heal from the hurts of their past. I also prefer the idea of treating people, not just disorders or illnesses because people are more than just their symptoms. Suffering often causes people to lose sight of other parts of themselves - their gifts, strengths, dreams and values. Healing comes when we are able to embrace the complexity and challenges of life in a more balanced way.

Asking for help is a sign of strength. People mistake the feeling of vulnerability for weakness, allowing this feeling to surface means we are facing something painful. This takes courage. Learning to experience feelings without judging them is a foundational part of the healing process. Acceptance is a sign of bravery and leads to developing what is called emotional intelligence. When you engage in the development of your emotional intelligence you are increasing self-awareness and personal freedom by creating choice where there was none before.

I am a clinical psychologist with experience over twenty plus years providing family, couples, and individual counseling, play therapy, psychological assessment, and bilingual (English/Spanish) services to a client base spanning from young children to adolescents and adults. My extensive experience as a clinician and diagnostician includes working with ADHD, trauma, PTSD, anxiety based problems, depression, relational concerns, sports related concerns, and anger management, contributing to my approach to counseling grounded in the premise that the therapeutic relationship is essential in gaining meaning and resolving the conflicts that arise within our human experience.

Hello, I’m a licensed therapist in SA & Spring Branch TX, specialized in treating trauma, PTSD, anxiety disorders, and chronic pain. I use evidence-based treatment modalities such as EMDR or TF-CBT, somatic psychotherapy for body regulation and reconnection of mind and body. I’m a Hatha yoga certified teacher, an original yoga practiced thousands of years ago that has transformed human beings to transcend to higher states of consciousness, releasing mental, emotional and physical illness and daily stressors in order to return to original state of wellness and inner peace.

My approach to helping is based on my client's perspective rather than my own. I contend that appreciating and respecting the client's experience for what it is, is essential to productive therapeutic growth. I view counseling as a highly personal and subjective experience, where developing an empathic, connected and trusting relationship is imperative; it is through the safety of this connection that clients can work toward positive change. While I have had extensive experience working with a wide variety of clients, my specializations include women's issues (including domestic violence and trauma), relationships, GLBTQI issues, pregnancy/infertitility issues, internet addiction and couples work.

The modern world can feel challenging to navigate. It can be natural to feel sad, anxious, and unsure about how to deal with life’s challenges and stressors. If you are feeling stuck, getting support is often one of the first steps towards experiencing relief and healing. My approach is to create a compassionate, safe space for you to find clarity and meaning while moving forward in life.
