Therapists in Krugerville, TX

Hi! My name is Jenny and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Texas. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, chronic mental illness, PTSD and ADHD. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma, sexual abuse, survivors of human trafficking and emotional abuse. My counseling style is warm and engaging, with a focus on the therapeutic relationship needed for our work together to be meaningful and effective. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, no matter what your background is or the details of your story. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral and client centered counseling. I am also trained in the use of trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy to specifically address concerns related to trauma and PTSD. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

I hold a master's degree in Education and Counseling. I have spent 28 years in education and 7 years in clinical counseling. My clinical experience has introduced me to counseling with adults. I enjoy CBT and Choice theory as the clients become aware of chices and can talk out their next steps. So many times, we don't understand that we have all the tools we need to allow us to be successful in our jobs, our relationships, and our lives. By exploring clients' worldview and what strengths they already possess, they discover how to make choices that put them in control.

"Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy – the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” Brené Brown At one time or another, we all go through difficult and painful times of struggles, challenges, darkness, more questions than answers, loneliness. For some it looks like depression and/or anxiety. For others, it presents itself through an eating disorder, substance abuse or other type of addiction. Some people retreat inward and isolate, believing no one would understand them if they tried to explain how they feel, or they get stuck in believing they would be judged if they shared their deepest thoughts and feelings. I am here to walk the journey towards healing with you. My clients have described feeling the atmosphere and energy of our sessions as safe, nonjudgmental and that they feel a genuine sense of me caring about them as an individual. I am humbled and grateful that my clients experience this, as this is exactly the message that truly comes from my heart. It is the reason I work in the field. It is my passion, and it helps me fulfill my sense of purpose in life. My hope is that as we walk together on your road to recovery and healing, you will have the freedom to explore what your struggles are and where they come from, and I will help you understand patterns of thoughts, beliefs, behaviors, and relationships that are keeping you stuck in pain. I believe this process will leave you feeling empowered to live your best life. My primary specialties are mood disorders, trauma, women’s issues, family of origin issues and current family relationship concerns. My primary modalities are CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy), Psychodynamic, and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy).
