Therapists in Houston, TX

In a non-judgemental, open, and safe atmosphere we work together on issues you are facing in your life at this time. Perhaps past experiences and trauma are interfering with your life today. Perhaps everything seemed fine up until now and suddenly stress in your home is happening and you don't know what to do. Situations and other people in our life can trigger a wide range of emotions including anger, frustration, deep sadness, uncontrollable anxiety, confusion, fear, and even numbness. Allow me to work with you on your journey from chaos and emotional turmoil to peace and happiness. Working together, we will discover what works best for you. Do you need to talk to someone who will listen and not judge you? Do you need some direction with what to do next? Do you need some coping skills for difficult situations? I have been counseling for over 7 years. It has been my honor to work with people, like you, who struggle at times to navigate day to day life, or are faced with changes, loss, or big decisions. I have worked in various agencies, a psychiatric hospital, and a program for teens and their families. I look forward to working with YOU!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas and with over 20 years of professional counseling experience in outpatient, inpatient, community mental health and private practice settings. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns. I have worked with clients in many different stages of life as well. I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment for you to have the freedom to explore and process your life situation(s) which may be contributing to uncomfortable feelings and behaviors. My desire is to see you overcome obstacles in your life so that you can move forward and improve the quality of life you desire and deserve. It is my desire to listen, understand, and be helpful to you to the fullest extent of my professional ability. Although I use an integrated approach to counseling that includes various theories and techniques tailored to your specific needs; my overall approaches are based on Client Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, and Solution Focused Therapies. My goal is to shape the counseling experience that is unique to you and that meets your needs of healing and change and to collaboratively find solutions to your difficulties. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to share your “best hopes” and to work towards, what I like to refer to as a “preferred future”. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and encourage you. I look forward to working with you! Please note that before our first meeting, there is an intake process which I can help walk you through.
