Attachment-based Therapists in The Woodlands, TX

We all struggle with the ups and downs of life. My passion is working with children (ages 3 and older) and families to promote healthy and happy individuals and relationships. I hope to help my clients enhance their own individual strengths, better their relationships with others, and enjoy the most out of everyday interactions and experiences. Solution Focused and Attachment-Based therapy are the primary approaches I utilize in treating clients. As human beings, I believe we are wired to connect with others and that individual change and healing influences relational change and healing.

Are you ready to start your journey of self-discovery and healing? You might be facing challenges like anxiety, trauma, ADHD, depression, adjustment issues, or performance pressure. You need a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood so you can reach your desired goals and live up to your highest potential. Together, we'll explore your unique experiences and work towards your goals of gaining clarity, building resilience, and developing healthier coping mechanisms.

Welcome to my page! If you are here, you are likely in the process of making the significant decision of choosing a therapist. I know how important it is to have a safe space to heal and grow. A space where you are heard, accepted, and cared for in a comfortable, safe environment without judgment or criticism. I believe the client-therapist relationship is crucial to growth and change. I am ready to meet you where you are and support you in doing the hard work to build the safety necessary to reach this goal.

I focus on working with individuals experiencing ADHD, anxiety, panic, and anger management, some of which can result from unresolved complex trauma. Whether you are feeling alone, fighting through unhelpful thoughts, or struggling to find your place in the world, I support you in making sense of your emotions and guide you on how to pave the way forward. Over time, complex trauma can wear one down and even make setting some boundaries difficult, although it is through gentle guidance with compassionate helpers like me that a person begins to rediscover inner strengths.

Life can be messy and unexpected but that doesn't mean you have to be defeated or debilitated by it. If you are feeling hopeless, helpless, anxious, empty or depressed I may be able to help. My job is to help to alter the focus of external to internal control. We may not be able to control changes in life, but you can be rest assured that I will help and support you to cope with your next big hurdle in life. With a compassionate and nonjudgmental approach, I help by creating an atmosphere necessary for growth and change.

I believe in treating and facilitating the individual's psychological and emotional transformation through an integrative therapeutic approach. We all yearn for love, acceptance and the capacity to reach our utmost potential! I believe in treating the 'whole person,' as I help guide my clients towards reaching their therapeutic goals through a newfound self-awareness and confidence. With healthier actions and reactions we can move forward in life as more productive, thoughtful and self-aware beings. I believe that therapy connects us more to our authentic selves, and that you can grow, with you, in a newfound space of acceptance.

You are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As a therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and be the best version of you. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to resolve hindrances and challenges that your life may have caused. I work with both couples and individuals. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you!

Feeling stuck in your relationships despite success elsewhere? As a big-vision individual, you're constantly evolving, yet overthinking keeps you from connecting. Sound familiar? Let's break free from this cycle together. Join me on a journey to unlock your potential and cultivate meaningful connections.

I started Summit Counseling in 2015 with the goal to help more individuals, families and couples face life's struggles. With experience in both Child Protective Services and Education, I blend a unique approach to people seeking services. Over the last several years, I have helped many families in crisis, adolescents struggling with their own development and couples facing the challenges of raising children and maintaining a loving family.

Do you feel like your life has been difficult to manage lately? Are you having family or relationship issues and feel like you need someone to help you and your loved ones understand one another? Are you concerned about recent changes you've seen in your child or teenager? No matter what challenges you may currently be facing, we strive to make sure our clients feel comfortable and supported on their journey to bettering themselves and their families and look forward to helping you Find Peace.

Are you tired of having the same arguments over and over again? Do you feel like your relationship is okay, but you wish it were better? Do you feel like you make positive changes in your relationship only to fall back into the same old disappointing habits? Or maybe your spouse has been unfaithful and you're struggling to feel safe in a marriage that feels very unstable, and with a person you aren't sure you recognize anymore. You aren't alone. For the vast majority of us, being happily coupled does not come naturally - it is a skill we have to learn. Luckily, these skills are teachable and learnable.

We all have been there before: feeling stuck, frustrated, stressed - when life starts to overwhelm you. I would love to meet with you and help you through this, together. I am here to support you and help guide you to the best version of you. My education background, life and career experiences will further help me help you. I use a blend of Cognitive Behavioral, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused, Trauma Focused, and Psycho-Education to serve adolescents adults, couples, and families.

Treatment for ADULTS and TEENS struggling with some of the effects of TRAUMA like RELATIONSHIP DIFFICULTIES, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, ANGER MANAGEMENT, and ADDICTION. Ultimately, people come to me in pain or they bring someone to me in pain. Understanding that your pain, your reactions, and your responses to it make sense is a key to finding relief from suffering. If you or someone you love received something unexpected from their life experience and struggle with a "I don't even know where to start." or a "what now?", I am here for you.

Change is possible! Making the decision to seek therapy can be a difficult one and often comes from a place of frustration, anger, sadness, or just feeling "stuck". Therapy can be a way to help you feel "unstuck" and to help you find balance so that you're in a better position to reach your goals. I'm a firm believer that change can happen when we create a safe space for conversation. By building a therapeutic relationship and a safe environment, we can discuss ways to improve the relationships in your life and I can offer support to help you implement the positive changes you're hoping for. Hope can lead to change.

Hello, I'm so glad you're here! You have just taken the first step to bring about change to a more balanced and healthier YOU. I enjoy working with others to bring hope and healing from life's challenges and difficult circumstances. If you are navigating through a difficult time, there IS hope in resolving and moving through your situation. If you or a family member is experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, social or school struggles, we, together, can work through this. When big emotions show up, you can learn healthy coping tools/strategies to get through this time. I'm here to help!

Tired, lost, confused, overwhelmed- you are not alone. I believe that with the right tools and the right support, everyone can find their inner strength and develop healthy coping strategies. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Registered Play Therapist with over 10 years of experience working with children and families. I enjoy working individually with all age ranges as well as supporting couples and the family unit. I focus on providing a safe environment, supporting each individual to reach their goals, while providing research evidence-based strategies to develop healthy coping skills.

Are you ready to end the toxic communication in your relationship? Are you ready to heal from the past hurts that have kept your relationship at a standstill? Not feeling heard or understood by your partner? Are you feeling stuck due to the constant back and forth about what was said, how it was said, and/or how your feelings are valid? We are ready to help your relationship get unstuck and start communicating your feelings effectively.

At Vital Growth Counseling & Wellness, we offer individual counseling to help you learn how to take control of your life and respond to challenging situations with healthy coping skills. We may help you cope with major life changes, stress due to work, grief, chronic illness, and trauma from physical or sexual abuse. We also offer couples therapy as healthy relationships take intentional awareness and initiative, it's easy to slip into a roommate role and neglect the romance we once had.

Despite the many reasons to seek the assistance of a professional counselor, often a person waits until they have hit “rock bottom” and are now facing serious consequences for their behaviors. Perhaps you are dealing with out of control anger, sexual addiction to pornography, or possibly an unfaithful partner. As a result, you're having frequent conflicts at work, lack of trust in relationships, or financial difficulties. If any of this sounds familiar, then the good news is you don't have to continue to struggle alone, and I'm here to help !
