Therapy for Teens and Young Adults in Houston
1.
Anxiety
Anxiety is a persistent feeling of worry or fear that can overwhelm both the mind and body, often making it difficult to focus or function in daily life. It can manifest in various ways, from racing thoughts to physical tension. Therapy offers a supportive space where individuals can explore the root causes of their anxiety and learn practical tools and strategies to manage anxious thoughts and emotions, ultimately fostering a greater sense of control, well-being, and emotional resilience.
2.
Depression
Depression is a pervasive feeling of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in life, often accompanied by fatigue and difficulty finding joy in daily activities. Therapy can help by offering support, teaching coping strategies, and addressing underlying thought patterns, empowering individuals to regain motivation and emotional balance.
3.
Grief
Grief is the intense sorrow and emotional pain that comes with losing someone significant, often accompanied by a sense of emptiness or longing. Grief can also occur during the loss of a pet, loss of a job, or when parts of your life do not turn out as you anticipated. Therapy can help by providing a safe space to process emotions, normalize the grieving process, and offer coping strategies for navigating the pain and eventual healing.
4.
OCD
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition where unwanted, intrusive thoughts lead to repetitive behaviors or mental rituals aimed at reducing distress. These cycles can become time-consuming and interfere with daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. Therapy helps by teaching individuals how to face their fears without relying on compulsions, reducing the power of intrusive thoughts over time. With support, people with OCD can build healthier coping strategies and regain a sense of freedom in their lives.
My Approach
I work from a trauma-informed perspective that includes cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma, and crisis intervention. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and elderly people. I am allied with LGBTQIA and BiPOC communities.
​
Life is about understanding the complexities of our own thoughts and finding our own personal meaning in our daily lives. I would be honored to accompany you as you grow into your genuine self.
