Find a Therapist in Bellville, Texas.

Psychotherapy can help many difference areas in life such as self esteem, depression, anxiety, fears, affair recovery, sexual issues, communication issues, etc. I am a therapist that specializes in relationships, intimacy, and sexual health. I use solution focused approaches to help each individual and/or relationships to get the most out of therapy.

I work with an entire person--the mind, emotions, body, spirit, relationships. I offer an alternative approach to traditional psychotherapy because sometimes we are stuck beyond our thoughts. I believe we are often stuck beyond how we think about something, but by how our body holds and remembers the experiences. After all, we feel the anxiety in our chest, shoulders or stomach. When we are depressed, we struggle to move, sleep, concentrate etc. I work to remove the block from wherever it is stuck. My clients come to me after years of ineffective therapy. They are looking for more than talking about their struggles or identifying how they think about them in favor of a change in living.

My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in fostering a therapeutic alliance built on trust, empathy, and active listening. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in depth. Through a client-centered and integrative approach, clients will benefit from tailored interventions and techniques that address their unique needs and goals. I strive to empower clients to gain self-awareness, develop coping strategies, and facilitate personal growth.

Lake Austin Psychotherapy offers general psychotherapy via the narrative perspective of externalization from the problem. Additional subconscious processing with EMDR can facilitate cognitive narrative connections that allow for new, adaptive perspectives to emerge. While past experiences cannot be changed, the story we tell ourselves can always evolve.

I counsel using a combination of clinical training and experience as well as biblical principles. Ten years of experience providing psychotherapy has equipped me to offer my clients with the tools and skills they need to succeed in life. My primary focus is clients in crisis from infidelity and other fractures to the most important relationships in their lives.

There is a great value to having someone who hears you. Your story. Psychotherapy provides an ally. Someone who isn't there to judge, but there to listen and hear Your voice. Your therapist can provide an outside interpretation that is informed by their education, training and experience. Maybe you aren't alone. Maybe you don't have to do it on your own.

This private practice is focused on helping clients create a balanced and joyful life. Everyone can discover the way that works best for him or her. It appears that we tend to focus way too much time and energy on "right vs. wrong." This seems to only cause more confusion, indecisiveness, and other insecurities. Seeking outside guidance in times of struggle can be powerful and transformative. One of the goals of this practice is to help clients discover a deeper sense of self and acceptance. Another intention of this practice practice is to help clients build and maintain the necessary tools they already have existing within themselves, and lead clients to new discoveries of living life in a more balanced and enjoyable way.

Because you are reading this, it is likely you are seeking psychotherapy for some problem in your life that you would like to change. Or, perhaps, you need support for something that cannot be changed, such as major loss. Psychotherapy offers a way to first understand what is bothering you on a deep level, understand what the source of the concern is, and then movement toward changing what can be changed. I use a number of professionally recognized approaches to assist you, including supportive therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, family systems understanding, EMDR, and other approaches tailored to your personal goals. During our work together, I offer respectful, compassionate guidance.

I mainly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Logotherapy in my practice. With CBT, my work with clients involves using the relationships between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to make your goals happen. With Logotherapy, our work would begin by exploring your values and identifying any obstacles to living a meaningful life. While these are my main approaches, I tend to tailor treatment plans to match each client's goals and concerns.
