In Person Therapists in Kerrville, TX

In our work together, you will create or re-connect with a life worth living. You will come to see emotions—even the painful emotions of anger, sadness, and guilt—as signals that something needs your attention rather than something to be avoided. You will gain an understanding of who you are and how you are, which will facilitate personal changes you may want to make or help you navigate challenges you are facing. And maybe most importantly, you will strengthen your relationship with yourself and with others.

I believe everyone has the ability to make changes in their life. I see my role as a therapist to be a guide in that process.

You seek quality professional counseling to heal wounds, to enhance your well-being in emotional, mental, social or behavioral difficulties and life changes, or help when life becomes unmanageable. The key factor is the therapeutic relationship that you and I develop as we work together in a warm and safe "place" where your words and challenges are held sacred and confidential.

My "ideal client" is someone who trusts me and what I do to help them feel and do better in their day-to-day lives and relationships.

Men, you've always been known to have the answers to your problems. One way or another you find a way to get it done. That’s what your family and friends have always looked up to you for! Ambitious, brave, and hard working are words that best describe you, but lately it’s been hard to ignore how difficult everything is. You carry on avoiding thinking that you can get through this alone, but your family is feeling the distance and they know something is off. I know therapy isn't what you thought you’d be considering but you know something has to change.

I am a licensed psychologist who has been in private practice since September,2004. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree from Baylor University in 1992. I received my Masters and Doctorate degrees from Azusa Pacific University (Los Angeles, CA) in 2001. Currently my main focus of practice is psychological evaluation. I work in collaboration with physicians, school districts, law enforcement, Child Protective Services, psychiatrists, attorneys at law, and therapists. I have also been an adjunct professor for Schreiner University and I enjoy public speaking about relevant psychological issues impacting our society.

I provide play therapy services to children under eight, with a specialization in children three to six. Play therapy is to children what counseling is to adults. If you are concerned about your child's behavior, developmental challenges, or disruptions in the parent- child relationship, play therapy is the recommended approach to help your child. I also offer a variety of services to enhance the parent-child dynamic including expressive art therapy, sand tray, behavioral consultation and family therapy. No matter the issue I will offer encouragement and support in an accepting environment.

The individual experiencing depression, anxiety, addiction, anger, and\or relationship issues is the individual I enjoy working with. I am stoked working with an individual ready to look seriously into the root of the problem\s and follow suggested recommendations in order to make changes in her\his life.

Everyone can benefit from having an open space to explore and process their thoughts, feelings, and struggles. Many people live their life on an "auto-pilot," responding to their present circumstances with defense mechanisms developed from past wounds. By understanding these wounds, you can better change the behaviors that are not working for you anymore.

As a therapist, one needs a compassionate heart for helping people heal brokenness in their lives, and make lasting changes to live and not just exist. My practice stands by this philosophy. I have worked with hospital and private practice clinical settings providing individual, family, and couples treatment for adolescents', adults', and elders' mental health issues. I have presented workshops on the national, state, and local levels in the areas of family relationship issues, adolescent issues, and the education of the emotionally disturbed student in public education. Please don't hesitate to call today to make an appointment.

I work best with clients seeking to define and engage with the issues that are hindering their ability to function well, be happy and healthy. I am a direct, but not a directive therapist. I believe that given the strategies and tools to navigate through difficult situations most people are capable of doing what is needed to live life to the fullest. That includes one of my favorite populations, teenagers. I also enjoy treating patients, persons who will likely be managing a psychiatric condition throughout their lifetime with a combination of medical management and psychotherapy.

Welcome! If you’re looking to make meaningful change in your life, you’re in the right place. Our starting place will always be from a place of curiosity and I will encourage you to be curious about your experiences, feelings and thoughts as we navigate healing. I take an empowering and strengths-based approach in helping my clients navigate the challenges they face in their lives. I approach each client knowing they are the expert in their own lives and partner with them to honor and celebrate their identities and lived experience. It is an honor for me to walk alongside my clients on their journey towards healing and wholeness.

I love working with adults, couples, and families who are seeking treatment for substance abuse, eating disorders, and trauma. I also enjoy working with couples who are looking to work through any relational and sexual issues.

As a psychologist, I strive to develop relationships with people that will allow them to make changes in their lives as quickly as possible. I believe that each one of us is in charge of the story of our lives and because of this we have the power to change our lives for the better. Through a gentle, firm, and compassionate approach you will find resolution to life's challenges in a way that will bring peace,support, understanding,and direction.

Because you care about yourself and those around you, this is the first step in changing your life. Consider what it would be like to get up in the morning, and feel a renewed interest in doing old activities and seeing your friends. The old habits and ways that you have used just aren't getting you the results you want in order to feel joy and happiness. I would love to help you navigate into a better spot.

Why are so many of us afraid to face challenges? Fear is what holds us hostage in our own minds. The most interesting part about fear is that it does not exist outside of us. We create it. That which we create we can also destroy. I work with a vast array of individuals who have experiences and barriers they want to overcome. I coached adolescents for over a decade and currently work with the elderly. I find satisfaction in working with challenging circumstances. I thoroughly enjoy connecting with kids, adolescents, and adults both young or old. My goal is to awaken potential. It's time for you to lay hold of your destiny.
