Somatic Therapists in San Antonio, TX

We're supposed to drink enough water, get enough sleep, exercise, save money, make money, work hard while having work/life balance, be a great spouse/parent/sibling/child, travel more...the list is endless. We are taught to engage life at a grueling and intense pace that is becoming increasingly difficult in the backdrop of a tumultuous world in crisis. I don't view mental health in a vacuum; sometimes depression and anxiety are appropriate and healthy responses to stressful and unprecedented life events. I teach solution-oriented skills to address feelings, improve communication and live in a healthy way that honors your humanity.

I often get asked, “What’s a good reason to seek counseling?” Or “Why do people go to counseling?” And the short answer is, “For lots of reasons.” If you’re feeling stuck, have experiences you’re wanting to sort through with someone, wanting to re-learn how to have healthy relationships with others or yourself, have experienced significant grief, trauma, or impacting experiences, or simply want to better understand what has shaped your life and desire to live a more integrated and full life, then I’d say come check it out. Emailing me is the best way to get a hold of me.

Are you in an abusive relationship with someone who has narcissistic traits or narcissistic personality disorder? Have you been gaslit to the point where you are now questioning your own sanity? As a therapist who has helped many clients heal from narcissistic abuse and lived it myself, I understand the abuse and pain you have been through. Chances are you are in a strong trauma bond with the narcissist in your life which can be difficult to break free from without help. Learn how to set boundaries and create space for your own emotions and needs by working with me.

Being a man is hard enough. Then, trying to open up to someone and work on your struggles while getting in touch with your emotions and feelings. Talk about a challenge. Not to mention the feeling in the back of your mind that a female therapist is judging you. I get the struggle. As men, we have been conditioned and groomed to be a certain way. It's not that we aren't enough or that we are the enemy. We haven't been shown how to address what's going on in our body and mind. My services are for those wanting a nonjudgmental approach while also being held accountable on their path to an evolving self.

You are reaching out because you are feeling a call towards something more in your life, and you are realizing that your desire for authentic and joyful connection with yourself and others is worth finding. You're ready to clear away stale patterns that no longer serve you and learn how to create your own unique, brave, and meaningful life. I am here to explore with you as you discover how to create and reclaim a life that is in alignment with what you value most. I have seen caring and honest therapeutic relationships change lives, so if you are ready, please call or email me for a free 15 minute consultation.

Counseling is a space where you don’t have to pretend everything is okay or hide what you’re going through. You do that enough in other areas of your life. You do not have to repeat those patterns here. In counseling, all parts of you are welcome and all the things you have gone through can be talked about. My goal is to work together to reclaim your life through talk and connection by affirming your needs, identity and beliefs while urging you to make informed decisions about therapy.
