Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Leander, TX

Are you experiencing difficult challenges in your life? Do you struggle with finding the time to take care of yourself and make positive change? Do you feel lost and need support? I have a passion for helping others to find the answers in order to take charge of their life. I believe that each individual is treated as their own unique person and therefore needs their own unique therapy plan. I believe anyone can change and sometimes the first step can be difficult. I feel strongly about developing healthy coping skills and range from Cognitive Behavioral to Mindfulness. Take that first step, contact me and let's get started today.

I have been working with adolescents and parents in the school system for over 19 years as a school counselor, and have held my LPC license for over 14 years. I am an LPC supervisor. I enjoy working with adolescents, helping them to work through their issues, ranging from underachieving to relationship conflict (and everything in between). I also enjoy working with adults, helping them to understand their roles as parents so that they are better able to help support their children in a positive, healthy manner. In addition to parenting, I also provide marriage and family counseling.

I have a passion for working with school aged children to help them understand and overcome mental health barriers that may affect their academics or reaching their fullest potential. Many children suffer in silence with a wide array of issues that may arise with puberty, school problems, or mental health that may cause life transitions challenging. My therapeutic approach assists adolescents with their unique struggles that includes realistic goals to provide the necessary results needed by the client and parents. Providing a safe and comfortable space to freely express themselves that is judgement free.

Are you noticing your child is anxious, overwhelmed, or uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships or school? I may be able to help! I offer a customized approach for each of my clients, starting with understanding where your child is now and the challenges they are facing. Together, we will build a plan to help them move forward, and celebrate their progress along the way. I strongly believe in collaboration with parents and guardians to build cohesion in life outside of sessions.

Change is the only constant in life, but that doesn't necessarily mean it is easy. Pain or fear can be an indicator that something isn't working and it is time for change.

Whatever your struggle, I'm here to work through it with you...you are not alone!

Do you struggle to manage the daily stressors of your everyday life? Or does something from your past keep coming up? Do you find that these concerns impact other areas of your life? Work? School? Relationships? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or lost with how to move forward and live a happy and healthy life? Now more than ever, people feel anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about managing their relationships, careers, and lives. Pushing your needs away and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe it should not be so hard to live a better life.

As a licensed professional counselor, I am here to assist you in moving barriers out of the way for you to live your authentic life. My counseling includes an integrative/eclectic approach which allows me to apply components of several major counseling and psychological theories. I utilize many cognitive behavioral, mindfulness-based cognitive, rational-emotive behavioral, and solutions-focused techniques and incorporate many others based on your unique needs. I believe it is essential for wellness to elevate mind, body, and spirit and am here to provide an open, safe space for us to work toward your goals.

First, I would like to acknowledge your effort in reaching out to seek guidance. You have taken the first step in improving yourself. I understand it is hard when our initial expectations of how our life "should be" does not match what is happening in the moment. Many times, there are societal, familial and perhaps individual expectations that we feel obligated to fulfill. Sometimes these thoughts of a "normal" life interfere with what our true happiness could be, and this does need to be explored. Essentially, I would like to assist in shifting your perspective which will allow you to feel more balanced in your life.

UPDATE: I am not accepting new clients at this time. Are you or your child feeling anxious? Stressed? Overwhelmed? Not sure where to turn? Life can be exciting, challenging, and sometimes scary. I would love to work with you or your child to find the positives in life, listening to each unique situation with compassion, understanding, and without judgement. Together we will create a plan to move forward and enjoy the moments.
