Therapists in Pearland, TX

Tired of feeling helpless, constantly worried or not enjoying the things you once did? Perhaps you constantly feel, lonely, angry, scared, or sad which seems heavy especially if you're dealing with it on your own. Racing negative thoughts, difficulty sleeping, not feeling motivated, or lack of energy sometimes affects your daily routine. Maybe it's the heart racing, tightness in your shoulders and chest, sweaty palms or clouded mind that get in the way of feeling like yourself. I hear you! I welcome you to not deal with that on your own.

For nearly 15 years, I have worked with and supported adolescents and adults, from various backgrounds, through social, emotional, spiritual and/or mental health challenges they are facing or may have faced in their past. I work with my clients to identify and prioritize the people, issues and things that are challenging them most. I support my clients and help them determine who and what they are able to take responsibility for, change, control, or release. The ultimate goal is for my clients to create lasting Peace, Balance, and Joy in their lives.

Sometimes we just need to hit the 'Reset' button and reboot our lives. I am here to help guide you back to YOU! Most of us are scared, sad, anxious, lonely, depressed and hiding it from everyone else; but you don't have to be. You can choose to live your life differently full of joy, glee and gladness. Let's explore how through unique mindfulness techniques.

Life can be stressful to navigate. It can throw some curveballs that we don’t see coming and honestly it can just get overwhelming. And sometimes we just need that extra support or guidance to just see our way through. Allow me to be that person for you, to be the guide along your journey of healing, achieving your goals and becoming the best and most authentic YOU. Sometimes we can’t hear what we’re saying unless someone else reflects it back and that’s where “talk therapy” comes into play. If you’re reading this, I commend you for considering therapy. The first step can feel nerve wracking, but it also can be well-worth it.

As humans traverse along this journey called life, one should never feel that they are walking in solitude. The experience of relational conversations that affirm, support, uplift and empower should be a common occurrence, yet sometimes, that is not the case. Therefore, I do the work that I do; I counsel, I encourage, and I motivate. As a counselor, my mission is to help individuals reach their personal goals, assist in restoring families and marital relationships, and encourage children and adolescents to become their personal best.

Whatever your reasons for finding a therapist, I am glad that you have taken this step. As a client-centered therapist, I believe that you are a unique individual, and will make it my goal to help you live your best life. It is not my job to tell you what to do but to provide a safe, comfortable space in which we will work together to navigate your journey. We will use evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution-focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Strengths-based techniques to work on your goals.

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” - Psalm 147:3 “I’ve always found the serenity prayer encouraging: “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference…” I pursued counseling as a profession because I believe people can be equipped with the tools they need to process their pain, the courage needed to adjust their sails to the winds, and wisdom to confidently navigate the storms of life.”

Do you notice yourself trying to please others or find yourself in unhealthy and destructive relationships and/or work patterns? Do you depend on your partner's happiness to feel ok?
