Therapists in Kingwood, TX

I'm empathic, down to earth and passionate helping. We’ll define goals together. You’ll get feedback that’s helpful and sometimes challenging.

Life presents us with many challenges that are difficult to work through. Are you experiencing anything that is hindering your overall healing, growth, or purpose? Are you struggling to recover from trauma and find it hard to connect with or trust others? Are you unsure how to manage your emotions, relationship/family conflicts, or general mood?

Everyone who comes in is experiencing some sort of crisis or breakdown in their life and wants some relief from their suffering and confusion.

This will include healing past wounds and learning how to use those breakdowns as stepping stones to positive breakthroughs in the future.

Yes, I am in the business of transforming lives and I have SEEN this over and over throughout my career! Look at this as an investment in yourself! You've got this! I'm happy to answer any questions you may have!

I view counseling as a partnership between the client and myself. I see my role as enabling people to explore ways to heal from emotional hurt, to discover pathways toward more effective and positive ways of thinking, and to adopt helpful patterns of behavior. Through counseling, I help people recognize their strengths; encourage individuals to take responsibility for their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors; and assist people in making and implementing effective decisions. Using an integrative approach to counseling, the techniques I use are cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, solution-focused, and interpersonal. I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy and family system theories.

I work with those in their late teens through geriatrics in individual, marital or family therapy. I thoroughly assess each client and work with their own unique circumstances and strengths to address their issues, resolve presenting problems and accomplish goals. I specialize in the treatment of issues including: mental illness, phase of life, grief and loss, reconciliation, divorce, adjustment to medical or mental health diagnosis, occupational, spiritual, trauma, abuse and women’s issues. Beyond my education and professional experience, I draw from a myriad of personal life experiences that have made me a better therapist.

I possess a true passion for my work with clients, which is evident in my unwavering commitment to their success. I recognize how terrifying it can be to face deeply rooted issues, so I work hard to establish a safe therapeutic environment with attention to everything from the office experience to how fully present I am in each session. I place premium value on collaborative efforts between clients and therapists, meaning we join together to meet your goals. Real therapy and especially deep personal work is messy and requires vulnerability, trust, and hard work in order to create and maintain life long changes.

Sometimes we're looking for a safe place where we can be seen, heard, and validated. We want someone to hold space for us without judgment or blame. We also may want a road map. Someone who can guide us based on their lived experiences or professional expertise.
