Therapists in Manor, TX

I offer individual, couples and group psychotherapy to adults, taking an integrative holistic approach to treatment. I work with adults navigating challenges with anxiety, OCD, depression, family/relationship conflicts, trauma, women's issues, low self-esteem, impulsivity, and life transitions. My expertise is in integrative psychotherapy, where I draw from a variety of modalities, including CBT, DBT, mindfulness, ACT, relational and strengths-based approaches to provide individualized treatment. If aligned, I also draw from transpersonal psychology and spiritual practices in my work.

Let's face it: We have ALL experienced some type of negative situation in our lives. Whether it is divorce, death, or other traumatic experiences, you do not have to deal with these challenges alone. Maybe you are having issues in your job or relationships? Perhaps you are having a hard time functioning from day to day or experiencing behavioral issues in school? Regardless of the circumstances, my goal is to walk with you through these difficult times and assist you with discovering healthy coping skills and maintaining a positive lifestyle.

FREE consultations! Are you feeling stuck in negative thoughts, intense emotions, or behavioral patterns that don't serve your best interest? Are you hoping to build more meaning and joy in your life? You may feel hesitant about reaching out for help, especially with pressure from all directions to "have it all together". I'm here to join you on this journey to discover healing and build a balanced life.

Finding the right therapist can be difficult, maybe you have asked yourself questions like “will they “get” me?”, “do they know what it’s like to feel torn in multiple directions?” Or maybe, if you are anything like me, you have asked yourself “is there something wrong with me?”, “where are the therapists that look, even vaguely, like me?” As a half-Asian, bicultural woman of color, I’m passionate about supporting others who live at the intersection of multiple identities.

I would be honored to help you become who you desire to be and live a life of freedom from negative self-beliefs, fears, compulsive behaviors, poor choices, unhealed trauma or sabotaging behavior. By getting the support, effective skills and encouragement you need, you can see better results knowing I'm on your team in helping you acquire your desired, realistic goals.

Hello and welcome! As a therapist, I use a psychodynamic relational approach valuing the unique needs and desires of each client. I strive to foster a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients to share their own perspectives and emotions surrounding their past and present life experiences while also identifying, exploring, and challenging self-defeating beliefs. I strive to meet clients where they are in whatever season of life they are in. I also consider how multiple systems of oppression and structural inequalities impact my clients' wellbeing and the concerns they bring forth.

Seeking help can be overwhelming and takes courage to reach out; therefore, I welcome you to this experience. I have worked with individuals from different backgrounds and issues throughout their lifespan. If you currently need help with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and/or grief I hope my approach is a good match for your needs. I focus on helping individuals' strengths and skills that fit their worldview. I speak Spanish and I am culturally sensitive to diversity and complex issues that individuals experience throughout their lives. Please email me for consultation options.

I primarily work with clients within queer community, especially trans folks, and lifestyles such as kink, polyamory, or sex work. My hope is to provide a safe space (and a sliding scale!) where you don't have to spend your time in therapy educating your therapist on the concepts that are everyday within your own life. I love work around emotional regulation, communication and conflict resolution, with individuals and with multiple people within a relationship, to help develop healthier coping mechanisms, processing techniques, and self-acceptance/self-care methods to improve feelings of empowerment, security, and life satisfaction.

We are all on an individual journey desiring balance, joy, and happiness, possessing a strong hunger for hope. If we can simply master how to just be, we may have an invaluable opportunity to connect with inner peace and positivity.

We all go thru periods in life in which we feel lost, or unable to move forward because of life's circumstances, and we need help, but we don't know where to find it. At these times, getting a professional to help us sort the issues is vital. When we reach out, we are taking the first step in the healing process... But the second step occurs if we have professional support to heal our emotional wounds. Accepting help, and dealing with our issues takes great courage, and finding a helping soul, leaves us refreshed, and with a renewed sense of purpose.

Relating to people in an authentic, psychological way is my favorite pastime, and lucky for me it’s also my job!
