Contemplative Psychotherapy Therapists in Corpus Christi, TX

I provide online therapy centered on personal growth and fulfillment. Recognizing that life's difficulties often prompt the search for a therapist, our work will address these immediate concerns while exploring the broader path to a meaningful life, uniquely defined by you. My approach integrates relational psychoanalysis, integral philosophy, and Eastern wisdom traditions, emphasizing mindfulness and compassion. I prioritize the present moment within our therapeutic relationship, using this focus as a means for reflection, insight, and transformation as we collaboratively create a space to understand the significant particular and universal experiences of your life.

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2016 and have spent the majority of my career working with the LBGT+ population. I enjoy working with clients who are motivated for change by using a diverse range of therapy models so that I can tailor the experience for each individual person.

I am a highly trained psychotherapist and pastoral counselor who has been working in the field for over twenty-five years. I offer compassionate and caring counseling for those who are struggling with a variety of life issues. I am a spiritually-integrated therapist who draws from many spiritual and religious traditions in my care for people.

Stonebriar Counseling Associates (SCA) is purposefully passionate in providing quality psychotherapy from a professional perspective that influences the treatment of psychological, emotional, and mental health issues.

My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that meaningful change begins with understanding—of ourselves, our patterns, and the biological and emotional systems that shape how we experience the world. I work with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of concerns, integrating clinical experience, psychological insight, and education about how the brain and nervous system function under stress, trauma, and emotional strain. Throughout my career in community mental health, private practice, medical settings, and teaching, I have worked with people facing complex emotional and relational challenges. These experiences have shaped a practical, compassionate, and direct style that focuses on helping clients understand why they feel and react the way they do, while developing concrete skills for change. I believe therapy is not only about symptom relief but about increasing self-awareness, emotional regulation, and the ability to navigate life with greater clarity and intention. My work often includes helping clients understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and physiological responses. By learning how to regulate the nervous system and tolerate uncertainty, individuals can respond more thoughtfully rather than react automatically. I aim to create a collaborative and respectful therapeutic environment where clients feel safe to explore difficult experiences, retell their stories when needed, and move toward a stronger sense of stability and self-understanding. Therapy is a process of growth, accountability, and compassion. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions, my goal is to help them build insight, resilience, and a more grounded sense of who they are and how they want to live.

Corpus Christi's identity is shaped by its Gulf Coast location, its significant Hispanic population, and the large military presence of Naval Air Station Corpus Christi — creating a therapy community serving families navigating military life, trauma, and deployment alongside a broader civilian population dealing with the economic volatility of an oil-dependent regional economy. Bilingual Spanish-English therapists are in consistent demand in a city where a majority of residents are Hispanic and Spanish is central to daily life for many families. Driscoll Children's Hospital and Christus Spohn Health System provide institutional mental health resources for the Coastal Bend region. The city's outdoor culture and coastal lifestyle coexist with real mental health challenges tied to poverty, occupational instability, and environmental vulnerabilities from Gulf weather events.
