Therapists in Houston, TX

Life can be tough, and it's okay to need help navigating it. Through life's challenges, I've found therapy to be the support I need to build a life & career I love.

Seeking professional help is a sign of self-love and caring. In my practice I will provide a safe and non judgmental environment where you can find a path to healing and change at your own pace.

However I believe that we all experience situations differently and therefore I will match my approach to your values, goals and needs.

Do you feel stuck? Are you tired of working so hard and feeling like nothing ever changes? As human beings, we are creatures of habit. The way we think, reason and relate are based on patterns that have developed throughout our lives. If you continue to think - alone - about your struggles, you'll likely remain stuck in the same patterns. As human beings, we are also relational creatures. We learn about ourselves when we are in relationships with others. It is essential for any person's growth and development to think - with - another person.

I believe that psychotherapy is helpful to most everyone some time during their lives. There are seasons of life that we all go through which are difficult and challenging. A therapist is someone you can be honest without the worry of how what you say, think or feel will make them feel. A therapist is someone who will not judge you but rather be a part of your team to help you move closer to becoming your authentic and optimal self. I believe therapy is most productive and effective when the client and therapist are clear in what your goals are and are able to work collaboratively to help you reach those goals.

Every morning is the same. You wake panicked, stomach in knots, thinking about all the things you were supposed to finish yesterday but didn’t. And today’s to-do list makes you wonder if you’ll ever dig yourself out of this hole. You feel like you’re letting everyone down, especially yourself. “How,” you wonder, “can other people get things done with such ease and it be so difficult for me?” Even projects that excite you are hard to start and nearly impossible to finish. The shame hurts. Life would be much easier if you could just focus, but you don’t know how. You constantly beat yourself up. It's getting old.
