Attachment-based Therapists in Parker, TX

I believe every person has a unique way of looking at the world, and sometimes we all need a little help finding a common language to connect with others. We all strive for something, and my goal as a counselor is to help you figure out what is working for you and replace what no longer serves you. Although I can provide resources and a new perspective, I believe you are the expert on your own story. I tailor my treatment style to your individual needs and aim to populate your coping skills "toolbox" with the tools that work best for you as we work toward your goals.

Whether you are at the dinner table with your family, sitting next to your partner on the couch, or in an office full of coworkers, feeling unnoticed and unheard is a painful experience. Our relationships should be a source of empowerment, safety, and comfort. Not a source of chronic anxiety, stress, and grief. Whether it is the relationship you have with yourself, your spouse, partner, child, parent, or co-parent you are looking to heal and improve, with some fine tuning, we can build upon the skills and strengths you already have to create more meaningful and positive interactions in your everyday life and relationships.

I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy. When you give yourself the gift of therapy, you give yourself the best chance at a fulfilling life. I work with adults of all ages who find themselves struggling with depression, anxiety, anger management, trauma, relationship conflicts, grief, as well as a plethora of other curve balls life will throw at someone at any given time. I help my clients connect the dots between what they are going through now and how it came to be through psychoanalysis then targeting what actions they need to take in the present moment to empower them with agency to manage their current reality.

I believe that all people have an innate ability to heal and grow under the right conditions. I practice from a person-centered foundation while utilizing CBT interventions in session to enact self- acceptance and provide clients the tools needed for change. I strive to make conversations about mental health and self-care relatable, safe, fun, and empowering. I believe it is a privilege to gently and genuinely hold space for and guide clients through some of the most significant, or potentially difficult, experiences of their lives while collaboratively working towards self-growth and healing.

You've tried to stop using substances, engaging in problematic sexual behavior or viewing pornography on your own, but can’t. Your spouse, partner or other loved ones are hurting.

Sometimes life can feel like trying to climb Mount Everest without any supplies. As a fellow traveler of life, I have experienced steep climbs, low valleys, feeling disconnected, and at times hopeless.

My areas of focus are: trauma, personal/mental health challenges while parenting/raising children, women's mental health, peri/postpartum anxiety/depression, substance use, identity development, geriatric, life transitions, and end of life.

When trauma goes untreated, we can become triggered in our everyday life, struggle with negative beliefs about ourselves, and can start feeling overwhelmed and stuck. We can even end up with physical pain, issues with sleep, feeling completely shut down, or always on edge. Trauma is not something we can always talk our way out of and you might find yourself actively avoiding talking about what you went through or feeling like talking about it isn't helping you feel better. As an EMDR trained therapist, I am passionate about and trained to help people get unstuck and get relief from their trauma.

In life, we often find ourselves navigating and responding to challenges to the best of our abilities, utilizing the knowledge and tools we possess. There are moments when we require the support and guidance of a compassionate professional who can walk alongside us, attentively listen, and help us uncover new insights to address these challenges differently. As a dually licensed therapist, I am dedicated to providing this support. I seek to empower you to find joy and fulfillment in your life, even when it seems as though no solution is within reach.
