Find a licensed online therapist in La Coste, TX

I am a passionate and hopeful Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas who loves to help facilitate change. For over 10 years, I have worked with various populations from individual and families, women and children that survived domestic violence, adolescents at risk and those with substance use issues. One treatment approach that I believe in whole heartedly is Cognitive Behavior Therapy, being that our actions are rooted in what and how we think. It is not until a person restructures their thoughts that their actions change. I also think that Positive Psychology is vital to success. Most people seek therapists because there is a problem. I find it beneficial to focus on successes and strengths to get motivated to conquer life's challenges. I can help you identify ways to navigate through this journey of life. The clients who I find to be the best fit for my services are those who meet the following criteria: 1. They are READY & MOTIVATED to change: My ideal clients are those who have recognized the need for change and are highly motivated to take action. They have already taken the first step by seeking my assistance, and they are eager to get started on their journey towards personal growth and development. 2. They INVEST their TIME & RESOURCES in themselves: My clients are committed to investing their time, energy, and resources in their own personal development. They understand that achieving their goals requires effort and dedication, and they are willing to put in the work required to succeed. 3. They DESIRE to move from surviving to THRIVING: My clients have a clear vision of where they want to be and are determined to reach their full potential. They are not satisfied with simply getting by, but instead, they strive to live a fulfilling and meaningful life. 4. They have a GROWTH MINDSET: My clients have a mindset that is focused on growth and improvement. They are not afraid of challenges or setbacks, but instead, they see them as opportunities to learn and grow. They are open to feedback and are willing to make changes to their approach in order to achieve their goals. ** Please note that if you have had recent thoughts (within the last 2 weeks) about suicide, then you are not fit for outpatient therapy.

As a licensed therapist serving clients in Texas, I'm passionate about helping people navigate anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and difficult or unhealthy relationships. I have a special passion for empowering women who feel emotionally drained, stuck, unheard or disconnected from themselves to recognize unhealthy patterns, strengthen boundaries, rebuild confidence, and rediscover their sense of self. Relationships can have a powerful impact on our mental health. Whether you are struggling with a romantic relationship, family dynamics, separation or divorce, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries or the aftermath of a toxic relationship, therapy can provide a safe space to sort through what you're experiencing without judgement. You don't have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. My approach is compassionate, supportive, and down-to-earth. I draw from trauma-informed and evidence-based approaches while recognizing that therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Together, we can work toward understanding the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, developing healthier coping skills and relationships, and helping you feel more confident in the decisions you make for yourself. I believe healing is not just about reducing symptoms- it is also about learning to trust yourself again, finding your voice and creating a life and relationships that feel healthier, safe and more fulfilling.

I’m a licensed counselor in Texas with 20 years of experience, specializing in crisis intervention and suicide prevention.

When appropriate, I also find that a sense of humor can be a powerful part of the healing process. I provided mental health services in jail for about 19 years and I have truly seen it all, so you never have to worry about being judged and don’t have to hold back or filter yourself. In addition to working with clients facing personal struggles, I also support professionals in high-stress roles; such as law enforcement, correctional officers, attorneys, and first responders.
