Female Therapists in The Dominion, San Antonio, TX

If you’re reading this, then you’ve taken the most important step in your mental and emotional wellness journey, and for that I am so proud! Deciding to address your mental health concerns can be terrifying. Many of us fear that our issues are either too complicated to resolve or not complicated enough to warrant counseling. The truth is that therapy is for EVERYbody. It’s a safe space to process trauma, share feelings, celebrate even the smallest wins, and work through the losses. I'm excited to embark on this journey with you.

I enjoy working with adults, children and families who are struggling with life's transitions. The most important aspect of counseling is the relationship that I will build with you. It is through this relationship that change occurs. I will collaborate with you to identify an approach that fits best with your goals. I will use your strengths as building blocks in the counseling process. I will walk with you through the process of change and healing. If you are feeling stuck or ready to make changes in your life please consider reaching out to schedule a consultation.

Feeling overwhelmed by challenges at work? In your private life? I offer professional counseling for career and life transitions. I provide individual therapy to increase your ability to cope with life's stressors including adulting, job changes (workplace bullying, termination, promotion, new career), trauma and complex PTSD, grief due to a death or other loss, including loss of a pet, chronic health issues, relationships (current, extramarital, separation/divorce), and other life changes (empty nest, aging, retirement, menopause, midlife crisis) so you can successfully transition to the next stage.

EMDR Certified Therapist. Stop feeling worried, anxious or depressed. Do you struggle with feeling good about yourself or feeling unfulfilled in your relationships? Do you want to improve your motivation and achievements? Sounds like you need a change, and there is no better time than now. I have focused my work on helping the individual and family heal from a place of love and understanding. Pulling from multiple evidence based counseling techniques and foundations of counseling including CBT and EMDR, I blend authentic caring with here and now problem solving and skill building to handle the ebb and flow of life.

I prefer the term "patient" over client because I believe people want healing in therapy, Effective therapy is one where patients are treated with compassion and value in a nurturing relationship that allows them to heal from the hurts of their past. I also prefer the idea of treating people, not just disorders or illnesses because people are more than just their symptoms. Suffering often causes people to lose sight of other parts of themselves - their gifts, strengths, dreams and values. Healing comes when we are able to embrace the complexity and challenges of life in a more balanced way.

I specialize in counseling children, adolescents and teens struggling with trauma, anxiety or depression utilizing play therapy and expressive art techniques. With 20 years of counseling experience, I work collaboratively with parents and guardians to teach creative and effective parenting strategies to improve family relationships. If you are looking for a place to feel supported and challenged in a non-judgmental and accepting way, please consider my counseling services.

Many of my clients tried finding help in treatment centers and in the offices of outpatient therapists but they didn't get the results they were looking for in their lives. As someone who struggled with an eating disorder personally, I understand the necessary components it takes to be successful in overcoming obstacles related to addictions, eating disorders, behavioral issues, depression, anxiety, and many other obstacles which prevent you from being happy.

If you are reaching out for support now, congratulations! Working with individuals, men and women who serve others, is where my heart is. My personal and professional experience has equipped me with a unique understanding of the challenges of those who serve: First responders, Law Enforcement, Medical professionals, Child Protection, Fire and Rescue, Therapist, and Military Veterans; All those who dedicate their time to serving others, yet frequently forget to take care of themselves.

Do you find yourself bottling things up and believe others would not understand? Do you become so stressed at times that you cannot concentrate at work or school, even to point of avoiding loved ones? Periods of uncertainty and trials come into our lives, but its how we choose to deal with that change that impacts our quality of life. If you're feeling confused, overwhelmed, depressed, anxious or lacking a sense of direction, therapy can help you build the strength you need to get through it and be prepared for whatever life throws your way.

My ideal clients are those who show a willingness to have me walk beside them and hold their pain as they seek clarification on the emotions that drive their distress. By seeking treatment to address relationship issues, they discover that other aspects of their experience are influenced by their powerful need to connect with their significant others. I am best suited to treating marital distress and disconnection between teens and their parents. I understand the unique importance of familial relationships and the significant relief that comes when these relationships are repaired.

*No evening or weekend appointments* Life can throw curve balls at us and when that happens it's helpful to have a trained professional who can help you process how to move forward. I have experience treating individuals, couples and families and significant experience dealing with cases of infidelity, divorce, anxiety and depression. Couples are a big focus for me but of course I also see individuals. I have a particular interest in clients dealing with anxiety, depression or have past trauma. I also do therapy with local celebrities who have unique concerns about privacy.

I am a clinical psychologist providing psychological diagnosis, evaluation, and brief therapy in Boerne, Texas. Correct diagnosis and assessment can improve your life! You can understand yourself better, boost your academic performance, stimulate work success, deepen your relationships, and even improve your physical health. Brief therapy gives us time to explore treatment recommendations, dissolve resistance to change, target specific problems, or adopt new skills. I also help with emotional challenges of physical illnesses, like diabetes, chronic pain, or autoimmune disorders.

If you are someone that would like to get to the "root" of whatever challenge you are facing, we might be a good fit for each other. I enjoy finding the balance between exploring how past experiences are impacting you today, processing important topics, and integrating psycho-education and action ("now what?") into the session. I will help you build compassion for yourself, and teach you how to work with the thoughts and feelings you are experiencing so they no longer overwhelm you. I will help you create harmony within yourself so you can lead a more intentional life, and feel present and grounded while doing so.

I enjoy working with clients struggling with history of trauma including sexual trauma, physical trauma or emotional trauma.

I speak both Chinese and English and my multicultural background help me understand clients better thus, making progresses easier.

I believe that we hold the ability to challenge ourselves, to grow through maximizing our strengths, and finding unique ways to add to the best parts that already exist within us. I have found that through sharing a space where openness and understanding (and a little bit of humor) are present, you also have the ability to flourish, whether that be through walking the journey alone or with the added support of those who love and care for you. I focus on helping adults, both individuals and couples, with anxiety/stress, self-esteem, depression, communication, and relationships

Coming to therapy takes courage, I honor this first step that you have taken. Together we will set and clarify your goals, explore different paths and further your understanding of yourself. Whether you are looking for relationship help or individual therapy, I am ready to walk along side you and uncover your inner strengths and provide guidance to create lasting change and connection.
