Therapists in Greater Heights, Houston, TX

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Professional Counselor committed to helping individuals heal their bodies and soul. I believe in a holistic approach to find the best therapeutic technique for each individual/issue. I graduated with a master’s degree in professional and school counseling in 2020, and I have been working with adolescents and adults since 2019.

We often believe that our failures or disappointments are inseparably connected with our character and choices. It is equally difficult to admit to ourselves and others that our relationships are suffering. But, relationships are hard work. Love is a skill. I help women learn to trust themselves when relationships and other life stressors complicate things. In therapy we will explore key relationships, organize big feelings, and find new ways to cope. My goal is that people walk away from therapy with a more confident and clear sense of self.

I am currently accepting new clients. Do you feel stuck in a cycle? My approach is to help build more mindful paths/tools/skills in order to be more satisfied in your life, physical goals, family, relationships, and career. We work together to discover more about yourself, and reasons behind your choices.These problems may stem from the past, or a current issue you are navigating. Asking for help is a brave step, and one that says you are willing to work, in order to have a more fulfilling life and achieve your goals. http://mindfuldrivenlife.com/

I'm licensed in TX/CA/NY/FL and I am a Doctor of Marriage and Family Therapy/Certified Sex Therapist/Author of "The 4 Intimacy Styles" and "The Dr. Viviana Method for Intimate Reconnection" (online program for couples). My therapeutic approach is brief and solution-oriented, so I do recognize the importance of how my clients' problems have come about, but I place a higher value on offering my clients new and fresh solutions. I take into account what clients have tried in the past and help them to come up with changes that will be long-lasting and efficient.

To be known and loved is something we all desire, but it can also be scary to be vulnerable enough to allow others to fully know and love you. In my role as your therapist, I would love to step into that space with you to allow you to understand who you are by unpacking your identity and purpose. My desire is to walk with you and guide you in your journey toward healing where you can begin to allow space and let others in so you can be seen, known, and loved as you are.

Getting started is a difficult decision to make. Feeling vulnerable can be unbearable. Not many of us want to be vulnerable with ourselves, let alone, with someone else. So, we have 2 choices: 1. keep things as they are or 2. work towards making a change. In my eyes, we are all elegant giraffes. Life comes with ups and downs, and often, this causes us to forget that we are capable of enduring it. Sometimes, what we need is hope. Let’s rise above, and keep our heads held high through all the pain, the suffering, the sadness and all the joy and love that life brings us.

We all end up dating or even marrying our unfinished business at some point. Defenses you built to protect yourself in early childhood often come back to bite you in your adult relationships, turning simple miscommunications into drawn-out arguments that always end the same. Together, we will work to navigate those tough conversations with grace, learn how to regulate your runaway emotions, and speak your truth without fear. Whether you or your partner has strayed, or you just need help communicating, this is your opportunity to leave your old relationship behind and build it back up even stronger than it was before.

Meaningful connection is essential for every human being to belong and to feel safe. When you start to lose this connection, you may start to feel the pull of your anxiety carrying you away in its wave of damaging and critical thoughts. You start to feel overcome with too many conflicting emotions that it becomes harder to make any decisions. You may even feel disconnected with your loved ones, where you can no longer communicate, and you start to believe that you are no longer compatible, while still hoping and longing to be close to one another. It is an exhausting push-pull cycle.

Welcome to your transformative therapy journey. I blend an easy-going demeanor, humor, and a solution-oriented approach to nurture growth in each person I work with. My counseling style is built on empathy, respect, and compassion. Together, we will form a partnership that supports you through life's highs and lows. I will encourage you to explore new perspectives and enhance your personal development. It's not just about sessions; it's about forming a true partnership that supports you through both life's triumphs and challenges.

Life can make you feel like you are drowning in difficult emotions. You have noticed it effecting your day to day life. You feel like it takes more effort to do daily tasks. Know that looking for a therapist can be like a life jacket. Breaking tasks down together with someone makes it feel less intimidating. Solutions often present themselves when speaking with a therapist. As you continue to work on yourself, you will notice doing normal life becomes easier.

I'm interested in working with you to develop a trusting therapeutic relationship in a safe non-judgmental environment where you can get the help you need. My goal is to help you feel comfortable and supported so you may express your feelings and experiences in a relationship where you can feel heard and understood. It takes a lot of courage to see a therapist and share your painful, angry and anxious feelings; a good therapeutic relationship can become a foundation which you can use to make significant life changes, decrease depression and anxiety, improve your relationships, and achieve goals that really matter to you.

Clients sometimes ask me why it's easier for them to talk about "heavy" things in my office, versus at home or with their friends. Their second question/concern is about why they should use their resources to take care of themselves instead of other things... My response: Seeking guidance from an unbiased third party usually allows for increased honesty and vulnerability because there's no judgement and no personal relationship with me outside of therapy. Your story matters! Taking care of You is one of the most important commitments that you'll ever make. Self awareness and confidence is something that every person deserves.

It’s okay not to have all the answers. And the answers that you do have don’t have to remain the same as you move through each day, month, and year of your life. You are a human being who is constantly evolving and shifting in every moment. Your experience in this world is complex, and your therapy should fit your needs, leaving wiggle room for that plan to evolve with you.

I am currently taking new telehealth clients for sex therapy, couples therapy and trauma therapy. My ideal client wants to heal. With all the trauma from the past few years, self-work has never been more necessary and normalized. Coming out of a global pandemic, with relationships and sex lives suffering, we all need to be intentional about rebuilding emotional, mental and sexual health. Whether you’re trying to heal from trauma, improve communication and intimacy in your relationship(s), explore polyamory or consensual non monogamy, or explore sexual and/or gender identity, I believe I can help you to achieve your personal goals.

Are you overthinking instead of enjoying your life? Do you often feel misunderstood or disconnected from friends or loved ones? Does advice from others seem unhelpful or useless?
