I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in the state of Texas and have 14 years of experience, with the last 6 of those years including clinical supervision for incoming licensed professionals. I have worked with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, personality disorders and trauma. I have also worked with families and couples who are having parenting, relationship, or infidelity issues and LGBTQ+. A particular niche has also been to work with incoming college students (both young and old) in guiding them into a focused and clear college and career path. My therapy style is gently, warm, and non-judgmental and I tailor sessions to each specific client. I primarily utilize Person Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. I believe the best therapist will "work themselves out of a job" by empowering the client to become their own best ally instead of their own worst enemy. In other words, with proper support, I have complete faith in your ability to learn, grow, transform and rise above your current problems. I am already proud of you for taking charge of your own mental health and taking positive steps for your future. I look forward to working with you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Texas. I have been practicing since 1995, most of this time in Community Mental Health Programs. I have worked with many issues of concern to my clients, ranging from serious mental illness to life choices. I have worked with adults, children, adolescents, elderly individuals, couples and groups. In 2005, I opened my private practice and kept it open full time until 2020. During the pandemic, my clientele reduced due to my choosing to begin telehealth sessions instead of face-to-face sessions. I am residing in a smaller city and most of the population is not comfortable with tele-health so I decided to continue at a reduced capacity as long as possible. In early 2021, I accepted the vaccine in an effort to revive my practice but became ill due to complications. I stopped practicing for approximately 3 months, until I could be sure that I was feeling well enough to provide my clients with the services they deserved. In December 2021, I tested positive with the virus and became very ill. I am now practicing through Better Help rather than begin my solo private practice again. I am competent in the use of Cognitive-Behavioral, Psychodynamic, Client-Centered, and Transpersonal therapies. I specifically focus on hypnotherapy, meditation, and inner child support in the Transpersonal therapies. Each of these therapies are used based on the treatment plan which is derived from the problems or concerns that the client defines as their choice for treatment and the goal they wish to reach. In working with couples, the goal is to enhance healing independently and interdependently. I believe that we are attracted to someone who fits like a lock and key with ourselves. This engages our personal issues so that our significant other becomes the rock upon which we break ourselves and then heal through positive communication techniques, compromise and negotiation. I believe that each person is unique and the path for growth of each person can only be determined by themselves, or jointly, for couples. My role in the support of my clients is to lend them my knowledge, feedback and guidance as they grow through the process of the journey. Each client has the right to self-determination and respect and can refuse any treatment suggestion without fear of consequences. I am honored to assist you in your choice of becoming the best version of yourself, and, if appropriate, as a union of two creating a separate identity while maintaining each individually.

Our Journey I am always humbled and grateful when clients entrust me to join them on their journey to healing and empowerment, and I never take that trust for granted. I believe a professional partnership between a therapist and a client should be treated with respect, honesty, empathy, and integrity, and I strive to be a good steward of that partnership, as I am here to serve. I have over 20 years of counseling experience with men, women, children, adolescents, families, and couples. I have worked with individuals who are dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, women's issues, and identity concerns, to name a few. I use an integrative approach to therapy, including cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, and solution-focused therapies. However, my most common approach is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is an approach that has been used and deemed effective when treating various mental illnesses and addressing many other issues or concerns. It is my most common method because it allows the client and me to explore their thought processes and other possible perspectives to address a situation or concern. It provides the flexibility to explore how we think, but it also allows us to examine how we act and our behavior patterns. CBT enables the development of healthy coping skills that can help resolve a conflict or issue. In addition to CBT, I may integrate some counseling techniques from the Person-Centered and Solution-Focused therapies. Using the person-centered approach allows me to be present and authentic with my clients. It also allows me to be empathetic and understand their plight, and to encourage them to explore possible solutions based on their understanding and experiences. The Solution-Focused approach allows us to work together, keeping the end in mind. During the session, our primary focus is on the solution and not the problem. We work to elicit positive emotions, behaviors, motivations, etc., to help the client achieve the desired goal/change. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, build on your strengths, and move toward the life you want. I look forward to partnering with you in that process.

- With therapists: $100-300

Is BetterHelp right for me?
One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.
Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of therapy in Pine Island is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.
Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.
With a lot of people in TX, therapists may be booked out with clients.
