Attachment-based Therapists in The Woodlands, TX

I specialize in anxiety, depression, addictive patterns, eating disorder treatment including Binge Eating Disorder, Bulimia, Anorexia and both Borderline and Narcissistic Personality Disorders. I am certified in EMDR and well trained in working with trauma and PTSD. If you find yourself stuck in the same self defeating patterns or constantly overreact in anger, I can help. Poor sleep, drinking too much, raging, binge eating/excessive dieting, or over medicating can dull emotional pain but there are more effective ways to cope and reduce stress to find a life that offers more peace, joy, and healthier relationships.

I am a graduate of Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary with a Master’s degree in Counseling. My clinical interests include depression, anxiety, athletes, eating disorders, and family dynamics. I have experience working in a residential treatment center for eating disorders. I am trained to integrate psychology and Christianity for those clients who are interested. I am married, and we have two beautiful girls ages 7, 9. In my spare time I enjoy talking, drinking tea, reading, spending time with friends, running, and spending time with family. I love nature and enjoy being outside as much as possible.

We have two counselors & two mental health coaches in our practice to meet your unique needs. Germanie, Julie, Jason & I stand ready to come alongside you and work ourselves out of a job. Ideal clients want to improve their relationships & are willing to take personal responsibility for their part in making it happen. They don't come in looking for us to 'fix' the other person, but come in seeking help from a wise partner to help improve themselves & their relationship. The ideal client has a moral base through faith in a personal relationship with God to draw on when facing difficult times.

Relationships are hard! The drama and emotional roller coaster are exhausting. After trying diligently to give all that you can, you end up dumped, rejected, or betrayed again. Beating yourself up, inevitably feeling unlovable. So you hide your emotions and stay busy to protect yourself. But inside, it's impossible to ignore that sadness and loneliness are growing. All you want is someone who cares and who can be there for you. But it's hard to attract the right person. Your friends are moving on with their lives, while you wonder if happiness just wasn't meant for you. You're so tired of trying that you feel resentful and empty.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I provide supportive clinical treatment to individuals, couples, children and families. Are you or your loved ones working through challenging life issues? Being aware of your challenges is the start. When you come into counseling, you're allowing yourself to open and grow. You can disown what doesn't serve you well and develop your strengths, find new possibilities, and move into a place where positive changes can happen. This is a place where we can talk about what's really going on, what you really need. As a therapist, my focus is on you and your goals.

We are all wired for connection. Your quality-of-life hinges on the relationships you have. Are you struggling to connect with your partner/child? Confused about what they needs to feel better? Or how to help them manage anxiety or trauma? Do you feel distant from your partner? Stuck in your own trauma? Is your family constantly fighting and parenting is stressful? Is your child/partner neurodivergent and you aren’t sure how to support their emotional/sensory needs? If any of these are you, I offer a safe space to help you connect to your partner or child and heal from past trauma that may be impacting your present relationships.
