For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

Many of us hesitate to tell a stranger about what is going on in our minds or lives. My own experience has taught me that sharing personal thoughts, concerns, and issues is taboo in some Black diaspora cultures. But doing nothing is one way to pass on trauma. Trying therapy won't hurt because I provide a listening ear, empower you to identify your strengths, and equip you with tools to invoke change wherever you see fit.

My education and most of my clinical training were completed in Florida. I am passionate about reducing the stigma associated with mental health and trauma. Over my 15-year career, I have worked extensively within the dependency and adult forensics systems and developed expertise in "not judging a book by its cover" and active listening. My counseling style includes behavior modification, solution-focused counseling, and coaching families through difficulties.

If you have searched for therapy options you have already accomplished hardest step! Everyone can benefit from therapy services. Take time to care for yourself through self expression, exploration and obtaining a deeper understanding in your relationships.

I get it. It can be hard to open up, especially to a stranger. It can feel overwhelming at first, but here’s the thing. It feels so nice to know you have a safe space to let out all the thoughts and feelings that you were told to stuff down. You will find relief in expressing any emotion, even anger, with a person who will not judge you. It might take a couple sessions to get there, but once you let down that wall that you were taught to build, you’ll be surprised as to what will flood out. Let’s chat and learn more about how I can help you in your journey!

Maybe you’ve seen the value of caring for your mental health or maybe this is your first big step into therapy. Either way, welcome! You made it! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate located here in the great state of Texas, offering both telehealth and in person appointments at my Cedar Park location.   I utilize a solution-focused, compassionate approach to help clients learn to combat that inner critic that tells us "we aren't good enough." Therapy doesn’t have to be a stiff interaction, therefore I believe sprinkling in some humor helps to build our relationship.  I strive to reply back to potential clients within 24-48 hours. I also offer a brief 10 minute consultation call to see if we are a good fit for therapy. Check out my website or send me an email so we can connect today!

The courageous act of seeking help is therapeutic in itself. You have already been thinking about the why and what. If you are seeking, questioning, feeling lost, and willing to commit to your growth you are already healing. You are on time.

Welcome. I provide counseling to individual adults who would like support living with the of trauma, and working with chronic depression and anxiety. I utilize a trauma informed lens with a gradual insight building approach to explore the whole person in relationship with their environment. I am also keen to create space to examine contrasting value systems, its generational impact, and observe the nuances of how our past experiences shows up present day. Together we learn how we can reconcile the influences of the past, practice the present, and continue to access choices with vitality moving forward. We do this a moment at a time.

I would tell them it is natural to be a little nervous about therapy. This is a big step! And it takes some vulnerability and bravery. I also think that if they are willing to try it out, therapy can be rewarding and so worth the investment of time and your  willingness to work on your stuff.  

I specialize in OCD and anxiety disorders. I treat people with Trauma and Depression. I am EMDR trained and use ACT, DBT, and TF-CBT therapy. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation.  I would be happy to talk with you to see if we are a right fit. 

Therapy can be difficult at first, learning to trust another , but it can be freeing when you find the right fit .

I have worked in the mental health field for over 12 years with clients ranging from 5 to 60 . I believe we should be empowered to make the changes within ourselves. 

You will like therapy, feel lighter & wish you had started it decades ago. Basically therapy is talking to your favorite friend then just add in counseling skill sets, tons of training & lots of education.

I am a learner, INFJ, communicator kind, caring, fun, spur of the moment, empathic, great listener, whose friends don’t believe I am an introvert. I am obsessed with fall, rain, thunder, lightning & snow storms! I can life coach in all states.

I understand that it takes a great deal of courage to be vulnerable to others. You do not need a big reason to attend therapy. It can be helpful to have a neutral and non judgmental person to assist you with processing emotions and everyday stressors.

If you are looking for an empathetic and supportive space for recovery, then you are in the right place. I am Licensed Clinical Social with fourteen years of experience treating trauma, depression, anxiety and addiction.We all need and deserve support and compassion on our journey. Some of our life experiences can leave us with feelings of depression, anxiety and self doubt. Despite our best efforts to change, obstacles can be difficult to overcome. I am dedicated to helping you heal, replace harsh self talk with self compassion and connect to the internal strength you already have. Regardless of the challenges you are facing in your life, positive change is possible. I believe therapy should be collaborative. Together we will create a safe space to help you meet your goals.

Invest in yourself and/or your family member. There is no need to suffer alone. Therapy is for everyone.
