Therapists in San Antonio, TX

Are you struggling in your marriage/relationship? Does this sound familiar? Hi, my husband and I do not seem to be happy anymore. Over the years we have both made some bad mistakes and have hurt each other. Now, we hardly talk and when we do it becomes an argument, we say a lot of hurtful things to each other. In our last argument, things got really out of hand, and he left the house, slamming the door, and hasn't been back home since. I have been crying since last night. We love each other, but, after our last fight I just don’t know what to do or where to go from here. I really need some help.

I believe most people are doing their best and trying to live happy, healthy lives. Sometimes, however, there are challenges along the way that need extra help. Some of these challenges may include: Depression, Anxiety, navigating life transitions and working on relationships by becoming a healthier version of yourself. In these instances, therapy can be helpful in many ways, including helping you learn to better evaluate & understand yourself, identify priorities, recognize patterns, make decisions that are right for you, challenge negative thoughts & beliefs, change self-defeating behaviors and identify & implement boundaries.

Trauma, abuse, self esteem issues, substance use, part of a military family, tired of fighting anxiety or burned our from trauma. I have lived through all of that. They want relief from fighting internal battles, they want to be able to feel without hurting, they want to feel like themselves but may not even know their own identity outside of the chaos.

I use my unique frameworks to organize what feels like a chaotic process so you won't feel lost or alone.

I am passionate about helping people overcome feelings of anxiety, shame, depression, or perfectionism related to feelings of inadequacy or worthlessness. I empower people to shed feelings of guilt or over-responsibility for others. I help people develop greater compassion within themselves, as well in marriage, parenting, and other relationships. Yes, it takes work to make changes, but I provide skills and a safe place to make and sustain those changes. Studies show when we live with more compassion, we have less anxiety, depression, and conflict. I love helping people on this journey to live with peace.

You never imagined spirituality or faith could produce heartache and turmoil in your life. Something that once invoked peace and strength for you, perhaps now prompts questions and uncertainty. It is ok to reevaluate what you believe, and determine how your current values fit into your present life situation! Sometimes new experiences, personal growth and increased awareness can shed light on how your old thoughts, feelings and emotions are no longer serving you well. Maybe you are struggling with how to handle others’ responses to the changes you have made in your life.

I offer virtual only counseling at this time. Your decision to find a therapist to talk to is brave, and can also be overwhelming. Life is full of situations that can leave you with sadness, anxiety, depression, or simply feeling lost. My experience is most people seeking help are trying to get through a difficult challenge or need assistance coping with life. I personally believe that it is in your power to learn skills to not only survive hard times, but to emerge stronger than you thought was possible.

Everyone keeps telling you things will get better, but they don't. You feel stuck, broken, like there is something wrong with you, but you don't know how to fix it. Life feels so overwhelming and there are days where it is so hard to just get out of bed. And if you do get out of bed, you just feel tortured and miserable, like you're in your own personal hell. That voice in your head keeps telling you you're not good enough. Do you turn to food or other habits you desperately wish you could change? Do you obsess about weight and body image? Do you hope for relief that you feel may never come? You are not alone.

There is very little in this world worth having that will not cause us to struggle and struggling does not mean that there is anything wrong with us. I believe that there is nothing more fulfilling than making a connection that costs us a little bit of vulnerability but leaves both of us feeling a brighter sense of hope. I also believe that our agency can carry us out of whatever rut that other forces might have left us in and that persisting in simple changes can help us get unstuck. If you feel stressed, overwhelmed, confused, alone, sad, or frustrated, there may be things about yourself that you can learn from and resolve.
