Life can be stressful and overwhelming at times. Counselors can help you live a happier more fulfilling life by providing tools, support, coping and problem solving skills in a nonjudgmental and caring environment. I would like to assist you in a safe and therapeutic environment. I am licensed by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors. I am trained in numerous therapeutic approaches. In a counseling session we will explore emotional and cognitive barriers, past and present relationships, and collaboratively devise therapy goals.

People have told me that anxiety feels like a rubber band being stretched to its breaking point. In fact I've felt that myself, but never described it so well. As unpleasant as it feels, it serves to force us to look for solutions to problems. Sometimes we can't take our minds off of them. The anxiety worsens when we don't like the answers, or can't choose between a few, or, sometimes, can't define the problem but we know it's there. I will teach you quick, time honored techniques that generally ease anxiety quickly, and often help people sleep better and focus better so that problems and issues can be addressed one-step-at-a-time, via traditional counseling.

Everyone experiences anxiety at some point, but for some the anxiety is so frequent or intense that it interferes with their lives or even triggers panic attacks. I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help my clients get a sense of control over their own anxiety. We collaborate to learn skills to reduce the frequency or intensity of the anxious feelings, to tolerate the anxiety when it does occur so they can still function through it, and to practice habits that reduce stress and improve general mental health.

While most treatment approaches for anxiety and stress are effective on the surface, they don’t treat the real problem. Mantras, deep breathing, and rational dialogues about your fear being irrational rarely work---for most people don’t believe it or you! Imagine if you can trick the brain into changing without you telling your conscious mind that you are changing it? Problem with anxiety and stress is that the brain in this state knows you want to change it and it resists.

We hold our anxiety and stress in our body. We feel tension, gut problems, hot flashes, disrupted sleep and more. I work with anxiety and stress by helping individuals learn and develop tools to re-regulate their nervous system. When we have a coherent and fluid nervous system, we can do difficult things without feeling paralyzed by overwhelming fear.

Everyone feels anxiety at some point in their lives but when it starts to interfere with your life, counseling can help. Although anxiety can feel debilitating, it is treatable. People with anxiety don’t always share the same symptoms, they vary from person to person. Therapy will help you to reclaim your life and function in a chronically stressful world.

I work with clients facing overwhelming stress and anxiety by utilizing various modalities tailored specifically for them, I employ a holistic approach and believe through mindfulness, meditation, cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, and emotionally focused therapy that clients feel a sense of relief and calm by being able to take stock of their thoughts, feelings and behaviors and make sense of what the real issues are and by devising a plan to tackle them head-on.

Anxiety can be a source of distress in your life. It may prevent you from feeling secure and at peace in your daily environments. After an assessment, this condition can be treated successfully. Many treatment methods are available. Stress can also interfere with your life. If it is prolonged and intense, the quality of your psycho-emotional and physical health can deteriorate. Call me for a confidential clinical evaluation. If needed, appropriate treatment can be implemented for your particular situation.
