Therapists in Richardson, TX

No one likes being stuck in cycles from events of the past. Adults who grew up with emotionally unavailable parents may experience abandonment or rejection that looks like codependence, anxiety, and depression. You have difficulty trusting in relationships or find yourself drawn to other emotionally unavailable adults. It's a cycle and one that you can't talk your way out of or through. There's a root, and my goal is to help you heal that root so you can see yourself differently and connect with others from a more healthy mindset, thus engaging in healthier relationships.

In one's walk towards wholeness and change, there are various barriers and hindrances one must overcome: The prism in which we view life, the messages we received about ourselves from our family of origin, what has happened to us and what we tell ourselves about it, our fear of feelings, and our learned coping mechanisms are just a few.

I am here to help with any related depression and behavioral change goals. People can make better decisions if they have enough information, and they understand how their behaviors and thoughts and experiences impact them. Here are some aspects of counseling and therapy I believe and practice. Counseling includes the client’s active participation, involvement and commitment to recognize problems and concerns and changing behaviors and thoughts and feelings. Therefore, a client will probably have to work both in and out of the counseling session to address his or her concerns. There are no instant or painless or passive cures.
