Female Therapists in Lakewood Village, TX

In addition to in person sessions, I also provide either phone or online/Telehealth therapy sessions. Whatever you may be struggling with--there IS hope and help available. I have been providing therapy to individuals, couples and families for more than 20 years. I believe that everyone has the ability to make positive changes in their lives. My goal is to help you gain insight about what might be getting in the way of living the life you want and to develop a plan that will allow you to achieve your personal goals.

My style of therapy encompasses the idea of motivating through speaking your truth. I reach people with my honest, genuine, and real sense of intuition about challenges they face. My goal for clients is to increase personal awareness of problematic behaviors they want to change and then engage in finding new ways to incorporate change in their lives with struggling with power, control, depression, trauma, relationship problems, loss of identity, stillbirth, grief, and divorce. I completed my PhD through researching and treating emotion avoidance strategies with the population of individuals with PNES.

Life is stressful. Sometimes we just need to talk with someone who understands our fears and anxieties and who can give us another perspective. In therapy, you and I will work to build a relationship where you feel support and encouragement to explore the areas you desire to change. We will look at the meaning you have placed on certain areas of your life, as well as your strengths and abilities to address life situations.

You love your partner and don't want to end up divorced, but you're scared. Deep down you wonder, is this all there is? You are frustrated that you keep having the same fight. You wonder if things will ever get better. Maybe if you learned how to communicate, things would get better? But you do fine communicating with everyone else. How is it that your partner knows just how to push your buttons? You feel hurt and frustrated so quickly. You don't know how to tell them how much you miss them and long for that connection. There just doesn't seem to be much energy left for you or your relationship, including intimacy.

I am passionate about working with children, parents, and families to help improve overall quality of life and functioning within your family and community. Specifically, much of my clinical work focuses on family issues, career goals, interpersonal relationship building, coping with depression and anxiety, as well adults with a history of childhood trauma/abuse.

I believe that everyone has the right to ask to seek mental health help as we do ask for physical help. Counseling personally helped me to know who I am and to enjoy my life by equipping me with valuable tools to navigate life's challenges. Because of the profound positive impact counseling had on my life, I am passionate about providing the same transformative support to others. Finally in general, I chose to become a counselor to advocate for better mental and emotional health awareness and to combat the stigma associated with seeking help.

You feel disconnected from yourself and others. Relaxation seems like a distant fever dream and you’d rather eat glass than spend a minute being still in your body. Reframing negative thoughts, counting to ten, and downloading countless meditation apps haven’t helped your feelings of isolation and distress.

I consider it an honor and privilege to bear witness to your therapeutic process. I understand that therapy can be one of the most vulnerable times in your life. Even though you may feel frightened and unsure, allow me to rest your mind at ease as I facilitate your healing journey. No matter the issue that you face, I believe in the restorative power of a safe, non-judgmental space individualized to your particular needs. You deserve to be supported and cared for, and to know that you don't have to walk your path alone.

We all have hurts that need attention and we do not always know how to do that. I believe we were created for relationships and at times those relationships or how we are going about them can be unhealthy. Due to that, we have adapted and learned coping mechanisms that have allowed us to function and move on. However, those coping mechanisms can stop working after a while and this is what creates an imbalance in our system that we need to make right or it can begin to generate stresses that spill over into other aspects of our lives.

Do you often place the needs of others ahead of your own? Do you experience physical symptoms like a racing heart, trembling, sweating, or difficulty breathing during anxious moments? Are you feeling disconnected or rejected? ? Are you and your partner struggling to communicate openly and constructively, leading to frequent arguments? In the midst of our rapidly changing and unpredictable world, countless individuals are grappling with anxiety, trust concerns, emotional detachment, difficulties in communication, mismatched expectations, trauma, addictive behaviors, and a sense of uncertainty how to address these challenges.

Perhaps you’re at a point where you are frustrated and tired of starting over with a new therapist. You’re tired of telling your story over and over again and not experiencing any relief. You’re tired of taking all these medications and being numb. And you’re tired of your past trauma disrupting your everyday life. Perhaps you’re wondering if you’re ever going to heal and feel better. You CAN heal. The therapist’s job is to help facilitate the healing process that lies within you. To heal from trauma, you don’t have to talk about the details of what has happened to you (unless you find it helpful).
