I try to help my clients see the present moment. Too often, we are on "auto-pilot" and are moving so fast that we do not take notice of the things in our lives that bring us joy. There is no magic button that we can simply press to feel joy, but all of us have a path that we can find to happness. There is hope for you and others who have these struggles. There is a path you can find to help you feel better. I would be honored to listen as you speak about your own journey, and to also help you find the path that you want to take in life. I can also help any young athletes or sports loving adults cope with the mental stress that comes with injuries. I have experienced my own injury - related traumas in the past. I know the frustrations with not being able to get outside and play a sport after an injury. I am a practicing therapist - in - training who is supervised by licensed professionals at two different locations in the Houston area. I am happy to work with you to meet your therapy needs during these turbulent times.
