Treatment for Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, and Addictions in Dripping Springs

  • In therapy we will safely get you through the memories of experiences causing blockages.
  • Find confidence in addressing your triggers head-on.
  • You’re never too old to find your way back to happy… or perhaps your first experience of happiness.

In therapy I use “person-centered” therapy methods to address lingering grief and loss, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and addictions.

The greatest independence comes in releasing your own negative thoughts. If you put yourself down and have frequent critique, you will never be able to experience full love and joy. Come explore how independent thinking can improve your self-esteem and help in establishing boundaries.

Are you contemplating a big transition in your life, in the middle of change, or exploring minor changes to feel better in your own skin? Life transitions can be hard and happen at every stage of life. You can learn how small steps and skills can ease transitions..

Does grief, shock, or disappointment dominate your life? Building resilience and the ability to tolerate harder emotions makes you stronger and leads to a happier life. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment Style Theory, and other skills tailored to you, we can work on getting you closer to a calmer life.

Do your relationships with yourself and those you love feel stuck – going in circles of negative thoughts and constant “go nowhere” arguments? Together we can identify and improve those behavior patterns that once served you, but are now blocking you from the relationships you want to have.

Is your life too complex and you are looking to create a simpler, more enjoyable life for yourself and those you love? That unease is a sign that you are not on your path to a fulfilling life. We will build an action plan addressing your barriers and get your life on track. Exploring your life goals and meaning is the starting place for heading where you want to go.

Addictions in mental health are more than chemical dependency. They are actions, thoughts, and behaviors that keep you trapped, even as the negative consequences keep happening. Let’s find the source of that behavior and heal the pain. You don’t have to struggle alone.
