Best Addiction & Substance Abuse Counselors in League City, TX

You did it! You took the first step. Sometimes, life experiences often cause us to lose hope, direction and weigh down our hearts. We find ourselves in need of someone to help unravel our heart issues. Having support does not mean you were not able to do it on your own, it means you recognized you do not have to do it on your own! I look forward to working with you to help you gain strength and continue life's journey. I am a licensed professional counselor in the great state of Texas. I have had the opportunity to provide counseling services for the past 12 years. I have a Master of Arts in Counseling from Dallas Baptist University. I am certified as a Prepare/Enrich facilitator. I have worked with families, couples, individuals, and groups in various settings (residential, outpatient, community, private practice). I have addressed concerns related to relationship conflict/development, addiction, substance-abuse, depression, anxiety, trauma, post- traumatic stress disorder, just to name a few. The treatment modalities that have proven most useful are: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. I also provide Christian Counseling, upon request, with an integrated approach. My focus is not just about strategies to detour unhealthy behaviors, but also understanding the specific thought patterns that drive them. I take into account what clients have tried in the past and help them come up with new ideas that will have long lasting effect. As adults, we participate in multiple roles and respond to those roles based on past and current experiences. I find it imperative to process through past and current experiences which foster emotional, physical, mental exhaustion in our daily lives. Our therapeutic relationship is a collaboration which entails honesty, open communication, mutual trust, respect, and dedication to do the work. The feedback I receive from clients is that they find me to be compassionate, light-hearted, and nonjudgmental; and they appreciate that I am honest and direct with them. I genuinely care about you and desire to navigate through this season of change with you. The heart carries so much, let us unravel the heart together and joyfully experience what life has to offer!

Thank you for considering me to support you in your journey. The process of counseling that I seek to implement involves a supportive, collaborative, and sincere process meant to help you grow and alleviate any mental health concerns, if present.

My approaches are weighted with cognitive behavioral techniques with an emphasis of understanding you as a whole person.

Talkspace partners with care providers who find satisfaction in providing therapy in a way that prioritizes the clients convenience and preferences. Because all therapy takes place virtually, through messaging, live virtual sessions, or both, providers can communicate more frequently and casually in comparison to traditional face-to-face therapy. Talkspace treatment methods are supported by scientific research and are committed to non-judgmental care that is inclusive and respectful of cultural and other identities. Talkspace patients are matched with the best provider for them based on their needs and availability during the registration process. Once matched with a provider, patients may change at any time, and may contact support to request a specific provider. *The above is attributed to Talkspace and not the provider.*
