Teletherapy for Magnolia, TX

I have 15 years direct experience in the behavioral & mental health and substance abuse fields. I assist individuals in coping with life issues including dual diagnoses, behavioral, mental health, substance abuse, relationships, personal conflicts, sexual issues, problem solving, decision making and developmental concerns using an eclectic approach supported by evidence-based research. I provide counseling services to children via art and play therapy. I also counsel adolescents and adults to address a variety of topics (trauma, substance abuse, peer pressure, mental health issues, anxiety, depression, adjustments, trauma, etc).

I deeply honor the therapeutic relationship by maintaining the conditions for trust, integrity, and compassion. Through a person-centered approach, I keep a non-judgmental perspective, free of criticism. As we work together, I will assist you in exploring various means to move forward and “unstick” yourself. This drives us in a partnership that serves your personal goals and individualized plan of care. A Rational-Emotive Behavioral approach to treatment allows you to confront self-defeating thoughts and behaviors and find concrete means to amend your existing “framework” for how you view yourself, others, and the world.

Parents invested in their child's well-being, seeking support for children's challenges like ADHD, depression, or anxiety is a population I specialize in. Additionally, adults facing their own mental health struggles find solace here. I offer tailored therapy for teens and adults, alongside parent consultations. My holistic approach fosters secure attachments, promotes family harmony, and supports individual growth and healing.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, addictive patterns, eating disorder treatment including Binge Eating Disorder, Bulimia, Anorexia and both Borderline and Narcissistic Personality Disorders. I am certified in EMDR and well trained in working with trauma and PTSD. If you find yourself stuck in the same self defeating patterns or constantly overreact in anger, I can help. Poor sleep, drinking too much, raging, binge eating/excessive dieting, or over medicating can dull emotional pain but there are more effective ways to cope and reduce stress to find a life that offers more peace, joy, and healthier relationships.

As women, we're often cast in the role of superheroes—juggling careers, families, and the unseen emotional labor that keeps our worlds spinning. We're celebrated for our strength and resilience, but the truth is, sometimes we're simply exhausted. You're not alone if you're overwhelmed by the constant demands to excel professionally, cherish motherhood, manage a home, and pursue personal passions, all while staying composed. In a world that often expects you to be superhuman, it’s perfectly okay if you've found yourself feeling out of breath.

There are times in life where we feel stuck. Maybe you are going through a transition, such as kids growing up, marriage is struggling or has ended, job issues, or a recent relocation. Or maybe you don't understand why you are feeling the way you do, yet the sadness or anxiety persists. Still, other times we know exactly why we are sad, disappointed, or lonely and we need someone to process it with. If you are suffering from depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, grief, or life transitions, therapy can be beneficial for you. Using talk therapy or Brainspotting, you can begin to experience healing.

Are big (or small!) life changes making you anxious? Do you feel stuck and unable to move forward? Has an abusive or violent relationship left you unsure of who you are?

I myself have two years of experience working with both children and adults from all walks of life. I strive to provide individualized care to meet clients’ differing needs.

There are basic truths of human psychology that most people understand intuitively. We do not fully know ourselves; the things we do not know can cause suffering. There is a benefit to self-awareness. I will support you as you develop your innate capacity to be with your own life, just as it is, and assist as you develop more effective strategies for living joyfully and with compassion for yourself as well as others. As we bring together your sense of yourself in past, present and future states, feelings of organization and coherence develop. Choice is restored.

I completed my Master of Social Work program at the University of Houston in 2017. That same year I entered the mental health field by way of Correctional Managed Care. I started as mental health clinician at a maximum security prison unit. I have worked at multiple units within the TDCJ system for over 5 years. This experience has highlighted both the importance of mental health maintenance, and the consequences of its deterioration.

I understand that life brings unexpected transitions. During these transitions people sometimes need someone to help facilitate change, someone to listen without judgment, or voice their thoughts in order to gain a fresh perspective. The goal in counseling is to help those in crisis, navigate through grief, anger, confusion, and those who feel out of control gain control. I have worked in several inpatient hospitals and private practice for six years and that has allowed me to counsel military families, clients with suicidal thoughts or attempts, addicts, and those who struggle with psychosis.

As an integrative therapist, I have the advantage of drawing from various therapeutic modalities and techniques. This approach allows therapy to be tailored to the client's unique needs. As a minority counselor, I understand the value in someone's upbringing, experiences, and culture. And they will allows be consideration throughout the counseling process.

The journey of life can be stressful, often leading people to feel stuck and confused on which way to turn. Feelings of anxiety, depression, fear, isolation and inadequacy can develop and relationships with family members or other significant others can become strained during these times. Finding solutions can be difficult in the midst of confusion and pain.
