Therapists in Texas

Here at Live Consciously, we are a group practice dedicated to empowering individuals to heal from trauma and embrace self-love and worthiness. What is the difference in our approach? We strive to break the barriers of traditional therapy by going beyond the mind and facilitating healing for the body as well. Research confirms that the body is what keeps the score, and we recognize that true healing requires addressing both the mind and body. Our team works with adults of all ages to uncover the true source of their suffering. By going to the root of the problem, we help identify and resolve traumas, griefs, and unproductive belief systems that may be holding you back in life. We understand that unresolved childhood experiences often manifest in adulthood as complex trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, addictions and relational difficulties.

A percentage of my free time is devoted to causes that reflect my passions and clinical interests including all aspects of psychology, health and wellness, and self-improvement. For my mental health I read, relax, hike, bike, weight-lift, box, pray and walk my dog.

My person-centered counseling approach focuses on tailoring support to each individual’s unique needs. I believe effective counseling should be personalized, recognizing and valuing what makes each client different, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. This way, I can provide the most effective, compassionate guidance for their personal growth and healing. I am committed to helping others navigate life's challenges, whether it's trauma, grief, or everyday struggles. You can rely on me for empathetic, non-judgmental listening. My goal is to be a compassionate ally on your journey, supporting you toward self-discovery, healing, and building resilience. I'm here to help you grow and overcome obstacles with care.
