Hi, I am Melinda and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. Welcome and thank you for exploring my page. This is a little about me...I think we all have unique talents and gifts, and I feel that being a compassionate, caring person is my utmost calling. I also feel that if you have been through something yourself, you are able to be even more helpful because you have lived it.
My unique life experiences as a 55-year old includes being married, divorced, being a single parent of two children, and living with a chronic illness. I have experienced various types of grief including the death of a parent and a best friend. I have had close relationships with people that exhibited traits of NPD and BPD, and have experienced the profound pain that betrayal causes. I know what it’s like to be depressed and anxious too, to question your purpose, direction and meaning.
But here is another thing I know: healing from all of the pain that life brings is possible. You are not meant to stay stuck. You are born for something so much greater. Whatever your experiences are–you are not alone. You will grow and you will emerge with light and new found peace on this journey. If counseling is something you are seeking, I’d be humbled to walk with you as you share your story–and together–we will discover new ways within yourself to go forward.
In my down time I enjoy walking and running outdoors with my Corgi and Chihuahua-mix rescue dog. Being in nature is a spiritual, life-changing experience that keeps me going. I also love attending college sporting events–particulary football and basketball–especially with my children. I enjoy going to new places and learning new things and finding humor along the way. I love all types of music and credit music for being a forever-friend. I value being a mother, daughter and caring person to people of all walks of life. Some strong influences for me are Brene Brown, Gabor Mate, Wayne Dyer, Dr. Ramani, Viktor Frankl, and Pete Walker, to name a few.
