Experiential Therapy in Georgetown, TX

Is your child having school problems due to ADHD, low motivation, or disorganization; social problems such as difficulties with peers or family members; or emotional problems? If so, I can help. Nobody has ever said raising children is easy. Luckily, you don't have to do it alone. With a doctorate degree in clinical child and school psychology I can help. My varied professional experience in New York City, Detroit, and Austin has included work in inpatient state hospitals, residential treatment centers, as well as outpatient settings. I have worked with many different families with a range of issues.

I get it! On the outside, you seem fine. You’re balancing everything life throws at you...but there are times when you’re overwhelmed. You feel like whatever you do, it doesn’t seem to be “enough." It doesn't have to be this way. I help people struggling with anxiety, people pleasing, perfectionism, and indecision learn healthy patterns of coping and boundaries so they feel confident, joyful, and ready to enjoy life again. Often talk therapy consists of clients venting to their therapists week after week, and gets you nowhere. Instead I offer clear guidance to help you understand yourself and change old patterns into healthy living.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 10 years experience working with children, adolescents, teens and adults in homes, schools, outpatient clinics, churches, nursing homes, psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment centers and county jails.

Based on my 25 years of experience, I usually recommend a holistic and objective assessment of the problems as part of the solution. These assessments include understanding, first and foremost, the needs of the individual. These can include anxiety, depression, ADHD, peer issues, family problems, stress, and many other things. I treasure the insight the individuals bring to the conversation with their questions, concerns, observations, and overall experiences. I bring these understandings to my therapy sessions and welcome those involved with the individual to lead the individual towards a more passionate, kind, fulfilling life.

I love working with couples and families of all types. Our relationships are the foundation of our lives and when there is a problem it often impacts everything. Problems often become noticeable during times of change (such as having children, moving or a job change) and can build up over time until they break the relationship. Couples often report having problems with communication, conflict management, intimacy, boundaries, parenting, and finances. Couples want to feel heard, understood, respected, connected, safe, and loved. They want to feel like their values and needs are honored in the relationship and they want to be a team.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist committed to helping you manage life’s twists and turns by becoming healthy in all your relationships. My work focuses on beliefs about self; parent coaching; general anxiety and depression; marital/family issues; pre-marital/couples; sexual addiction; couples; family dynamics; struggles with self-worth; guilt and shame. I believe in being relational and helping my clients gain a new direction! Christian Integration is available upon request or prompting.

If you are looking for a therapist that wants to incorporate your important geeky interests into your mental health, I am a Certified Geek Therapist that can help you! Utilizing your interests in the therapeutic setting to walk with you through potential life challenges such as: anxiety, depression, understanding gaming mentality, the grieving process, or feeling overwhelmed during a life transition. I hope to work with you on improving your life and experiencing with you new ways to help foster peace of mind about past, future, or current experiences.

Discouraged? Upset? Frustrated with where your life is currently? Needing support to help you go in a different direction? Feeling stuck, helpless and alone? I am here to help. I can meet you where you are and begin to plan for what you need to do when you are ready. Maybe it is starting the journey of change or keeping you on a path. I am particularly drawn to those going through any type of life transition and who want deeper personal relationships with God, themselves, and others.
