Men's Issues Therapists in McAllen, TX

If you're struggling with major changes or challenges in your life, and you're feeling kinda lost, I'm here. Sometimes all we need is a little guidance or someone to hear us out and encourage us while we do difficult things.

You want to trust others but you worry about getting hurt. You rather leave a relationship before they leave you. You find yourself anxious in relationships and you look for reassurance from your partner. You're worried that good things wont last forever. In therapy, you will learn to understand your body, mind, and emotions. We will process triggers and stop anxious spiraling. We will reprocess past trauma. You will learn tools/exercises that will help you feel connected and in control of your body. Life will feel more authentic and you will find new confidence. Relationships will begin to feel safe and healthy.

Our intention in, and the emphasis on, behavioral health in our practice is to be broad and inclusive in thinking about the role of behavioral health clinicians in medical settings and in the treatment of physical, as well as mental health issues.

Attending counseling should not be difficult and I offer an easy, flexible way to log on our sessions. In my experience a balance of guidance, education and homework assignments can help a client make progress at their pace. I like to have a good relationship with my clients and their needs are important to me. In my experience this allows for a better relationship and a better outcome in the therapeutic process.

The decision to begin therapy does not make you weak minded or a weak person; it does not mean you have failed, it means you're ready to get better! Everyone has different reasons for attending therapy: anxiety, trauma, family, relationship issues, intimacy issues, gender dysphoria.... No matter what made you take this step know that you are in a safe space where your rights and beliefs are fully validated. As a client focused therapist I will not give you advise but rather help you find your own solutions to the barriers lying in your way that's keeping you from living your best life.

Hey there! Thank you for visiting my profile, and welcome! There are many reasons one may to turn to therapy. Maybe you are experiencing a change or loss, maybe you have gone through an event that has affected your mental health, or maybe it’s just that something doesn't feel right or someone doesn't treat you well. I like to say “the breadcrumbs make the bread" - it is the little things that add up.

I'm here to help you navigate complex life challenges like anxiety, OCD, cultural identity, trauma, religious trauma and deconstruction, or issues related to LGBTQ+ psychology. I am a compassionate, knowledgeable therapist offering a safe, affirming space to heal and grow. I will help you understand thought patterns, align actions with values, and increase self-awareness. I am here to help you recover from past traumas, gain clarity in your identity, and build a fulfilling life that resonates with your true self.

I believe in a therapeutic process that revolves around life's changes and the journeys it takes us on. Choosing to change your focus is a powerful way of transforming any situation. Focusing on the positive doesn't mean that we are denying reality or avoiding what isn't working. It simply allows us to work from a grounded place in order to make the most informed decision from a less emotional place of clarity. Within our sessions, the goal is to cultivate a trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship where an individual can bring their full self into session without any fear.

I have experience working with individuals across all stages of life (including children, adolescents, adults, and older adults) and I tailor my approach for each individual to help you gain the most insight into your concerns, decrease symptoms, and to help uncover any other underlying issues.

I have had the opportunity to work with many individuals (teenagers and adults) struggling with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and issues related to self-identification. I have also been fortunate enough to co-lead group therapy sessions on the topic of dream analysis under the supervision of Dr. Gregory Scott Sparrow.

I provide evidence-based outpatient anxiety and depression counseling for women, teens, men and LGBTQI+ individuals. Together we will identify your strengths and what is working in your life and look to where we can adjust thinking and behaviors to have a maximum impact on your quality of life. So, what is a good life to you? What is missing to help you return to engaging in life fully? What are some small changes to how you think or what you do that can help create a life you love?
