Real Life Solutions for Real Life Change

Specialties and Services

Individual & Couples Counseling:

While I have worked with many different clients with very diverse issues, my specialties are:

• Transition to parenthood/postpartum mood problems

• Depression/anxiety

• Stress and anger management

• Life coaching

Depression, anxiety and other struggles are not character flaws - they are part of the human experience. Going to counseling doesn't mean that you are "crazy." Most people, at one time or another, experience mood disturbances and adjustment problems. Stress and trauma can throw off the delicate balance of neurotransmitters in the brain, which can result in a variety of physiological, psychological and behavioral problems. We may have learned unhealthy ways of coping with these problems throughout our lives and those ways are no longer able to serve us.

Getting help is not an indication of weakness - it is a sign of courage and it shows that you are taking care of yourself. If you broke your arm, you would probably go to the doctor. It is no different with a psychological problem. If it's broke, then you can take the steps to fix it!

To make an appointment, please call 713.417.0749 or email me. I do, on occasion, conduct therapy sessions by phone. Call me and we'll talk about whether this would be best for you. I do not provide therapy services via Internet or email.

Life Coaching

Sometimes, meddlesome symptoms like anxiety and depression aren't a problem, but you feel the need to make some changes in your life. Whether it's changing careers, personal growth, becoming more effective in everyday life or simply needing assistance getting back on the "right path," life coaching may be helpful for you. This can be done over the telephone or in person, allowing you to have access to your coaching sessions no matter where you are! For more information, please contact me.

Workshops & Speaking Engagements:

I have traveled the country speaking on various topics, such as stress management, wellness planning, behavior modification, various aspects of new parenthood, postpartum mood disorders and marriage enhancement. My latest offering is called What About Me? and focuses on the importance of Self-care. If you'd like to book me as a speaker for your organization or would like to be added to my mailing list, please email me.

If you are a healthcare professional and are looking for a speaker or presenter that focuses on one of the above topics, please contact me. Either alone or with my associate, Sherry Duson, I have presented workshops and lectures for: Texas Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (TAMFT), Memorial Hermann Memorial City Hospital, West Houston Medical Center, Woman's Hospital of Texas, Postpartum Resource Center of Texas, Mental Health Association of Greater Houston, Alvin Community College, The Motherhood Center, Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) and various local and national media, including Life and Style.
