EMDR Therapists in Houston, TX

Starting therapy can be awkward, stressful, and overwhelming. It's scary to trust a stranger with your private thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I am here to help you face your struggles in an open, non-judgmental, safe environment. I want to help you overcome the obstacles that are keeping you from being you.

Brene Brown -"Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen."

I want to assist each client in meeting their personal goals thru discovery, collaboration and therapeutic techniques.

First of all, I want to acknowledge the effort, strength or courage it took for you to take these steps in searching for a therapist. Starting your healing journey can feel like an overwhelming task. My goal is to come alongside you in that process to make it less so. I work with people who experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, who may be feeling less connected to themselves, or are struggling in relationships. I enjoy working with my clients to help them learn to manage difficult emotions, process past trauma, and live in closer alignment with their values.

As an experienced LCSW and LCDC, being a therapist with an honest approach with my clients is important to me. I believe in providing good therapeutic experiences for clients.

“The ability to find your true self is one of the most important elements to sound mental health,” thus, the option is yours to start searching. My mission is to help clients understand life is worth living and to redefine their experience while providing a safe space in doing so. I want them to perceive the therapeutic process as a comprehensive endeavor toward success. It is my motivation to guide clients on their journey of healing as they attack issues related to mood, grief, substance abuse, and maladaptive behaviors that do not serve them well.

Life is tough and we sometimes need help getting through it. Whether it's a "listening ear," anxious feelings, or trauma focused therapy, I can help with all three of those and more. Many clients want a safe place to express the emotions that have seemingly built up over time. After the client has expressed the situation and what he or she is seeking help for, we set some goals for our sessions. Recommendations are made to help guide our future sessions.

You are exhausted from trying to figure out why you can't quite find what you're looking for in life - whether that's a relationship, job, or feeling at ease within your body. It is my privilege to help you heal from the things that are preventing you from having the relationships, satisfaction, and sense of connection you desire. Through a collaborative relationship, I can help you process old trauma (with an emphasis on how it's impacting you now), better manage your anxiety, and cultivate the relationships you so deeply desire. As we build a safe partnership, you will find your courage and make the changes you're looking for.

A therapist is like a dentist. We can avoid them for a while, and sometimes we find one we like or don't like. Eventually, though, everyone needs to see one. Therapy won't solve your problems, but it will help equip you with the tools you need to get through. We offer in-person and video sessions, and see children to adults. We have several groups available, and we accept insurance and offer a sliding scale. We believe therapy is for everyone. Contact us for a free consultation. Even if you don't end up seeing a therapist with our practice, we can help you find someone that you connect with.

I am one of a HANDFUL of Filipina American therapists based in Houston, the fourth largest and most diverse city in the nation. I am trilingual in English and the Filipino dialects: Tagalog and Cebuano. I have a unique understanding of the bicultural/immigrant experience, being an immigrant myself. I believe everyone has an innate need to feel seen and valued. This is my goal in my practice: that the person sitting in front of me knows their value and provide a safe space to process the jagged edges of life. I want to ensure that the goals clients have in therapy are met and to empower them to face the other side of my office door.

Anxious? Depressed? Struggling with chronic illness or recently diagnosed? Have you experienced trauma and you can't seem to recover? Is depression or anxiety interfering with your daily functioning?
