Introduction

Waking up and starting your day can be tough at times. When it gets to feel overwhelming, you need someone who understands. Emotional or physical pain, past trauma, stress, insecurity, self-doubt - these are things that an individual can feel in their lifetime. When it interferes with your day to day, that is where I can help you develop tools to reduce how it affects you. You are worth it! Contact me for a 15 minute free consultation. I am a Professional Counselor Licensed in Texas with a combination of substance use treatment and individual and group mental health therapy experience that I have gained over the past ten years. I have assisted individuals with addiction, depression, anxiety, anger, relationship issues, grief/loss, and self-love through this process. An important part of the work that I do is helping individuals experience relief from past trauma and abuse while learning coping skills to help them navigate difficult situations and experiences. When it comes to approaches, I take an eclectic approach based on your needs. I provide CBT, DBT, MI, and EMDR (in person only). This is a process, and you are not alone. There can be relief from past trauma and abuse. It is important to me that we work together to find what works for you. If you want someone to walk beside you in the hard parts and help guide you to healing, I am ready to listen and support you. What you can expect from our first session: Feeling Supported and Hopeful! You do not have to do this alone. We are sometimes our worst critic. The negative self talk alone can tear us down. It is important that we learn to recognize our strengths and build our self-confidence to make positive changes that will impact our lives. Tools to help change and noticing changes with the work that you do with time. Hope - Healing - Change.
