The Sugar Valley Story

Sugar Valley is not too far from Matagorda Bay in east Texas, and with a population of less than 35 people – you’re unlikely to stop. But Sugar Valley has always been a special place for me; my great-great-great grandfather moved there in 1832 and built a ranch from the ground up. It’s where I spent childhood vacations going to cattle roundups, auctions, and feedlots. 

Some say that you haven’t lived until you’ve cut down palmetto with a dull machete or freaked out after realizing you’ve run directly into a black and yellow spider web (OK, nobody says that – but I’ve done those things). Put simply – Sugar Valley is where my family story begins. And my relative’s willingness to begin something new and take a risk is what created this home base for me.  

So that’s why I’ve called my practice Sugar Valley – I am inspired by the courage it takes to start
something new. 

Where are the physical, social, and cultural places you come from? 

Let’s use your home base to start your new story.  

Get Started

This is how I believe good therapy works:

First, you come for help. You’re taking responsibility for change to happen.

That’s a big step.

Next, we’ll get to know each other and understand what brought you to therapy.

We’ll set goals.

We’ll start to test out solutions.

While handling emotions in a new way might feel strange, I’ll be there to support and walk you through the process.

My hope is for us to build a genuine connection.

Finally, you’ll start to see positive changes in your life.

We’ll develop a toolbox full of skills to handle difficult emotions.

Your confidence will grow as you’re confronting situations and managing challenges.

You will know you can better cope with your problems.

You’ll begin to enjoy life and do more of the things you love.
