Somatic Therapists in Houston, TX

If this has come your way, there is a part of you that recognizes it is time for a change. Whether that change is seeking clarity in some areas of your life or maybe it is wanting to work through complex emotions. It could possibly be working through a traumatic experience, challenging negative thinking patterns, or maybe it is learning new techniques to cope with difficult situations? Perhaps it is focused on personal growth? I am here to create a space that allows that process to naturally unfold. I will encourage your natural capacity towards health, while also removing the blocks, obstacles and painful patterns of suffering

I strive to create a therapeutic environment where you feel comfortable expressing whatever is on your mind without fear of judgment. I believe that you are the expert in your own healing, and I will work collaboratively with you to identify and reach your treatment goals. I use approaches that have been scientifically researched and found to be effective, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and somatic and mindfulness-based interventions. I will work with you to ensure that you are not in therapy longer than is necessary to reach your treatment goals.

EMDR therapist. Result-oriented approach to healing. Are you experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, or just feeling stuck? Would you like to convert your struggles into more joy and peace? I help you get reconnected to yourself, live your purpose, and get your energy back to create the future you're actually inspired to live. For yourself, for your relationship, for your family and community.

Welcome! I am currently accepting new clients and commend you for taking this first step in owning your story and taking back your life. If you find yourself ruminating, feeling stuck, hopeless, and repeating patterns that are not serving you, I invite you to reach out for a complimentary 15 minute consultation to determine if we are a good fit. Let's explore what healing and growth looks like in your life and gain the skills needed to get unstuck and live a life of joy, peace, and authenticity.

I'm an LMSW with a passion for social work, currently on the journey towards my doctorate. My expertise lies in cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness therapeutic interventions, and somatic processing.

As a therapist, I am passionate about building a relationship with clients. If you are experiencing somatic and/or emotional dysregulation, please understand this is not your fault. The first step is a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment in order to optimize a client’s treatment plan and intervention schedule. Childhood trauma or distressing interpersonal histories can lead to an adulthood spent in survival mode. It can be a blessing to shift from surviving to thriving. I am experienced in EMDR and regularly integrate Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) techniques into the challenge of understanding and healing the self.

Are you struggling with the weight of anxiety and depression? Have you identified with chronic illness or mystery somatic symptoms? A perfect storm happens in our lives and often takes us by surprise, leaving out minds and bodies in a perpetual state of survival. It is tempting to give up hope, but true and lasting healing is possible. Within you lies an incredible propensity towards aliveness and ability to heal. If you want to tap into the power that you hold within you to heal, I am here to help guide you to nervous system regulation and somatic reconnection.

If you are here, you are likely seeking support for yourself, and/or a loved one, to find solutions and develop strategies that will promote a better life. Perhaps you want to build your confidence, accept where you are, heal, navigate life events and transitions, improve your relationships, or enhance your skills. Realizing and accepting you need help, knowing where to start, and then finding someone you feel comfortable with can be exhausting and overwhelming. My mission is to provide you expertly tailored care that is empowering, sincere, and judgement free so you can feel accepted, confident and safe leaning into this process.

Are you stressed out, anxious, and overwhelmed with life? Maybe below the surface, you’ve been trying desperately to hold everything together and urgently trying to please, achieve, and prove yourself, and it's burning you out. From all outward appearances, you may seem to have it all and even wear a smile on your face. But you may need more insight, guidance, and direction. I can help. I specialize in stress, anxiety, depression, complex trauma (CPTSD / PTSD), attachment styles, and relationship issues using EMDR therapy, somatic therapy, and other forms of psychotherapy to help you heal from the past to find your best future.

Do you want to make changes, but feel unsure where to begin? Maybe you're in a period of transition and struggling to feel grounded. These are situations we all experience throughout life. They're part of being human, but that doesn't make them any easier to face. We all deserve to live meaningful, purposeful, and authentic lives. Often it takes a collaborative effort to get to that place, and that's where I believe I can help. I work with clients to support them in sharing their stories, identifying values and making changes.

Are you living life on autopilot? Do you feel disconnected from your body, relationships, or sense of purpose? Are you fighting to stay afloat in a world that feels like it wasn’t made for you? You deserve a safe and affirming space to explore and unpack your identities, relationships, and life's challenges in the context of greater systemic and social forces. I enjoy working with trauma survivors, folks with disabilities and/or chronic illnesses, immigrants/adult children of immigrants, and aspiring cycle-breakers. I believe that healing is not only a tool for personal transformation but also a catalyst for collective liberation.

In a therapeutic relationship, it’s about you. It’s about listening deeply. It’s about asking the right questions and holding space for precious silence. It’s about utilizing a diverse range of clinical skills and life experiences to assist you with what is happening in your life right now, and teaching you skills that will allow you to help yourself in the future. We cannot change the past or other people, but we can still grow and change and find ways to thrive.

I provide confidential, professional therapy for a variety of issues and concerns. From resolving depression or anxiety to healing past trauma, improving relationships to ending addiction; therapy with me is about no longer managing or coping, but instead getting to the source of your issues and discovering what helps you heal. Whether this is your first time considering therapy or you're feeling ready to return, I help people from all walks of life find solutions and feel better.

If Anxiety and past traumas are impacting your daily life, you are in the right place. I am here to help you work through hurts and understand the why's of your behaviors. Understanding the impact of past traumas and the deeper repetitive intergenerational patterns is a powerful tool for change. Together in a safe and nonjudgmental space, we will work towards achieving your treatment goals and start creating the life you deserve. I use a bottom up approach with trauma focusing on learning how anxiety feels in the body and how trauma it is stored in our physical body.

Hello! You may be in a place where everything was fine in your life and now it isn't. This could include relationship issues, work/life stress, anxiety/depression or unresolved trauma. Through our work together, you will gain a deeper understanding of your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. This increased self-awareness has many benefits including better communication, an ability to regulate your emotions, development of secure relationships/intimacy, decision-making skills as well as self-kindness.

Are you almost ready to give up the possibility that life could be better, that life does not have to be full of internal struggle? Do you want your self-talk to be one that lifts you up and focuses on savoring the positives in your life rather than tearing you down, focusing on the disappointments in your life? Would you want sadness, worries, or anger to not have undue influence on you and not control your life. If yes, it is time to make a choice and reach out to someone who can guide and support you to a better experience of life and a more preferred self.

I want to get to know you, wherever you'd like to start. Together, we can explore ways to increase your ability to manage and cope and find more happiness and calmness. I've got 30 years of experience helping people navigate through the impact of traumatic situations and serious grief and loss, including sexual assault, domestic violence, abusive childhoods, chronic illness, and tragic death. I understand the crushing weight of hopelessness and thoughts that things will never be better or even different. I know that things can and do change and I strongly believe that we are not simply what happened to us.

Hello! I love collaborating with my clients to achieve their personal goals & develop creative strategies to cope with life's stressors. I have been an LPC for over 13 years, & worked with seniors, adults, teens, & children from any location in TX via teletherapy (video/phone) who struggle with depression, anxiety, life transitions, Spirituality, relationship issues, stress/anger management, coping skills, family conflict, marital/premarital issues, cultural/ethnic issues, self-esteem, academic challenges, LGBTQ, Autism/ADHD, Emotional Disturbance & much more. Some therapeutic modalities I utilize include:

It feels like life is not going on the way you thought it was going to go and you’ve lost the plot. You’ve been feeling anxious and are scared to be yourself. It feels like everything you thought you knew isn’t what you know, and everything is changing. Your self-talk isn’t where you would like it to be. You struggle to stay present in your day-to-day life. Making changes feels impossible and often paralyzing even if you know that making those changes is going to be good for you. I understand that taking the next step is scary. I want you to know that growth is not linear, it can take time, and that is okay.
