Therapists in Tahoka, TX

Are you a parent or a caregiver struggling to know where to turn to find support as you navigate the path of raising a child? Do you find yourself asking “why is this so much more difficult than I thought it would be”? Are you worried about your child’s mood, behaviors, or overall emotional well-being? Or maybe you are raising a neuro-divergent child or a child with challenging behaviors and traditional parenting just isn’t working.

Are you ready to make peace with your past? Perhaps you've recognized patterns in relationships, behaviors, or thoughts that are repeating. Maybe it feels like there's so much noise inside you can't seem to make sense of life outside. Are you feeling lonely or disconnected from your self? Balance and peace is possible. The kaleidoscope of your life can come back into view as we walk together and navigate your internal system with a sense of curiosity and compassion, bringing positive and lasting change. I operate from an integrative approach using a combination of evidence based practice and energetic modalities.

Life can be challenging, reaching out for help is an act of bravery and strength. You have taken the first step toward healing I want to acknowledge your courage and vulnerability. Remember you are not alone in this journey, healing begins with you. Together, we can work towards prioritizing your needs, embracing a healing journey, and discovering a fulfilling life.

You are here because you are taking the first steps toward seeking help, and I admire your courage to reach out. We each have the innate potential to heal and grow, and I am committed to being present with you in a beautiful journey free from judgment. I strive to create a welcoming, safe, and accepting environment where my clients can be genuine. Therapy is effective in gaining insight, resilience, and empowerment, allowing the opportunity to honor your authentic self.

Healing is present when you follow your intuition towards new possibilities. There is an inner voice of wisdom within each of us that longs to be heard, seen, understood and fully met in our stories. When there are opportunities for steadfast support, grounding and attunement, you may more easily get in touch with your authentic self. As you heal, you unload the burdens that no longer serve you. You become aligned with your truth. The essence of our work is in fostering a genuine, sincere, and open collaboration with clients. Trauma healing happens in relationship.

I believe counseling is a dynamic process that is different for each individual and family. I view the relationship between therapist and client(s) as one of the most important elements in therapeutic success. I strive to promote wellness and healing in an accepting and peaceful environment where clients can express concerns and share thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I work with adolescents and adults with a wide range of problems such as depression, anxiety, trauma and attachment. I am a certified EMDR clinician.

I hope to work with and help individuals (pre-teens, adolescents, young adults, adults), couples and families struggling with areas in their lives that are causing them pain and difficulties in their everyday functioning. My experience includes working with those struggling with anxiety and/or depression, healing and recovering from abuse/neglect/traumatic experience, working through relational and adjustment difficulties, as well as attachment struggles and behavioral challenges. Goals in counseling include relief from struggles/symptoms, but also learning ways to process, manage and heal from the struggles/symptoms one deals with.

It can happen to anyone. Life is going along just fine, and then before you realize what happened, you find yourself in a tough situation you never expected. Coping with it has been far from easy, to say the least. You're not alone! If it's a traumatic event, if it's ongoing circumstances that impact your mood and overall functioning, perhaps I can help. I have specialized training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, as well as Solutions-Focused Therapy. I use a holistic approach; considering the whole person in their environment.

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.

When the heart opens, the imagination expands, the memory becomes more abstract, the mind grows, and one’s relationships acquire depth and complexity, this changes all relationships with all things. First, we identify who or what triggers your anxiety and/or depression. Are you living in isolation? Are you eating and sleeping properly? What is depression and what are the symptoms? Is it the time of year? The holidays? A recent loss? The end of something you thought would go on forever? A diagnosis of yourself or a loved one? Triggers are everywhere. Anger is another conversation; substance abuse is just different levels of numbing.
