LGBT therapists in Buda, TX

Some of my passions include working with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ folks. I enjoy working with individuals and couples. I have additional training on Emotion Focused Therapy allowing me to connect with attachment needs and help heal through establishing a secure attachment in relationships.

Hi, Im an LCSW who specializes in DBT, RO- DBT and EMDR. I work with folks struggling to regulate their emotions as well as people wanting to gain better access to their emotions. I work with adolescents and adults and love working with folks who are neurodivergent (ADHD and Autism).

I work well with children, adolescents and adults, parents, couples and families. I work with helping people improve their self concept, eliminating negative thoughts that disturb our peace of mind. I help people through transitions in their life, trauma, whether that be changes in school/work, relationships, grief and loss, moves, retirement, recreating themselves etc. I help individuals, couples and families communicate in a way that betters their interpersonal relationships. I work with past grief and traumas that get in the way of healthy life functioning. I help people move toward a balanced and happier overall way of life.

I offer an interpersonal style of therapy and I use many modalities and much experience to help individuals, couples and families work through difficulties they may be facing or helping work toward living a more aware, peaceful life. Check out my website for more information. My clients say that they are put at ease with me immediately and I help them.

I am here to listen with a trained ear and help with a easy warmth that will allow you to be gentler with yourself as you become the you that you dreamed to be.

I earned my M.Ed. in Counselor Education from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, LA. My path into the counseling field has been shaped by a deep passion for both the healing process and holistic wellness. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work in various levels of care, including residential and intensive outpatient settings, where I gained invaluable clinical experience and a deeper appreciation for mental health care..

Welcome!

My work with clients values the therapeutic relationship, authenticity, and practical solutions.

I specialize in working with adults and older adolescents, dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, family of origin issues, grief, relationship issues, or low self esteem.

I have experience in group practice, community mental health, and private practice settings, doing psychotherapy with a wide range of clients experiencing diverse clinical concerns.

I earned a Masters Degree in Clinical Professional Psychology from Roosevelt University in Chicago, and a Bachelors Degree in Psychology from The University of Texas at Austin.

I work with clients from all walks of life in navigating this chaotic world we find ourselves in. We often unintentionally rely on coping skills and beliefs about ourselves that reinforce feelings of sadness or worry rather than relieve them just to survive day to day. Through a warm, often humorous, and always open-minded person centered approach, I am here to help you examine what does and does not serve you to create or find new ways to approach life so that you can start thriving rather than surviving.

I welcome EVERYONE to my practice. I hope your experience working with me is affirming, safe and empowering. I have been working in the mental health field for 20 years and specialize in trauma treatment. I utilize different therapy modalities for different people but love incorporating EMDR in my work.

Professionally, I have spent a decade in education (five years as a classroom teacher and five years as a school counselor). This is my third year as a therapist outside of the school setting.

For my masters degree, I attended Texas State University in San Marcos, TX (Eat 'em up cats!). At Texas State, I completed my MA in Professional Counseling with two focuses: school counseling and clinical mental health.

As a former educator, the populations I support include adolescents, young adults, educators, parents/guardians, and caretakers.
