Parenting Therapists in Pearland, TX

Hi! While it is necessary to introduce myself according to my education, experience, licensing, and specializations it is more important to let you know that I am a human first. I live life just like you and experience parenting pitfalls, marriage challenges, financial quandaries, and all of the other stuff that life is made of. My role in your life isn’t to tell you what to do or how to do it, it is to use the clinical skills I’ve learned, wisdom I’ve gained, and my clinical experience to help you navigate and heal from the “stuff” in your life.

I help stepfamily couples and single parents find the quickest path possible to confidence, support, and a workable plan that moves you in the direction of your goals from our first session- even in the most challenging situations. I partner with single parents to create a better life for you and your children; reduce the overwhelm, heal from your breakup; and move forward successfully. With blended family couples, we work together to manage stepparenting/stepchild issues, coparent concerns, and/or work through issues, so you can get back to the love and passion that brought you together. Video conference/phone appts available.

Are you ready to unpack that baggage you’ve been carrying around filled with life stressors like the weight of heavy emotions, unresolved trauma, relationship chaos, mental anguish, mommy/daddy complexities, parenting struggles, and/or lifeing as a Gen Z. Are you ready for relief, to get back control, and to create change? Then, join me on the couch or a virtual room. Therapy is about breaking through the uncomfortable to get to comfort, unwinding the tangles of the past to walk in to a better future, processing the truth of the present, and collaborating on a game plan to start making things happen for YOU your way.

Do you feel down for no reason? Are you in a relationship but feel like losing the connection? Do you constantly fight with your partner or family over the same issues, making you frustrated and wanting to give up? You’re tired of living like this, wondering how your relationships fall apart.
