Therapists in Dallas, TX

I know that life can get overwhelming and we all seek different ways to feel better. Sometimes those choices are good and sometimes not so good. Trust me! I am not going to judge. Whether you are struggling in your relationship, feel overly dependent on someone/something, have a difficult relationship with food, or you feel overwhelmed and anxious with anything in your life, I'm here to help. You are not alone. I want to help encourage you along the way while helping you experience the growth needed for you to find the happiness you are searching for.

The clients that work best with me are ready to identify obstacles that are preventing them from living a juicy and fulfilling life. I guide my clients to empower themselves and be survivors, not victims. I assign frequent homework and will not work harder than you. I will most often tell you what you don't want to hear, in a loving, kind way. I use a variety of treatment modalities in any given session. I also have extensive knowlege and resources regarding the 12 steps. If requested, I can counsel from a Christian perspective.

You deserve to be seen and heard for who you truly are, not what others want you to be. I am passionate about helping client’s find their voice, specializing in treating anxiety, depression, grief, codependency, boundary issues, personality disorders, and addiction. Experiential and somatic techniques allow clients to move deeply rooted blocks that often reside underneath conscious thought. I use gestalt, solution-focused, and ACT approaches to aid clients in gaining awareness of stuck patterns, feelings, and thoughts which hold them back from healthfully and intentionally meeting the challenges they face.

Do you often wonder if you can be happy? Do you struggle with past events in your life that you can't seem to let go of? Do you struggle with an addiction or compulsion?

You deserve all the good that life has to offer and you don't have to achieve it alone. I am passionate about my work and want to help you.

In a culture, where judging or joking about the sexuality of others is common, talking about personal challenges with our own sexuality is often difficult and embarrassing. You may have just learned about an affair or other act of infidelity and are feeling angry, confused, and hurt; may be wondering why you cannot seem to stop compulsive behavior with prostitutes, anonymous partners, or pornography; may have been sexually abused, not knowing how to find peace and move on; or may feel so much anxiety about sex that you are unable to enjoy it. I provide a safe place to talk.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor seeing clients in person at my office in Dallas, Texas; as well as online across the state of Texas. I believe in the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship and meet each client with warmth and curiosity. So many of us go through life thinking no one else is experiencing the same things we are. The truth is, so many of us experience a range of emotions, from anxiety to sadness, to loneliness. Finding the appropriate therapist who can help you understand these emotions and properly process them can be life changing and pivotal to helping you reach your goals. I welcome all of you!

Therapy can help us all navigate the river of life. I have had success working with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, coping with agitation, addictions, codependency, relationship and interpersonal issues, building self-esteem and self-worth, coping with crisis and grief issues. I enjoy helping clients navigate transitions in life such as, marriage, divorce, career or other curve balls often thrown at us. Many of my clients are working through a past history of abuse. I have a strong belief in the mind body connection, so I also find success working with individuals experiencing pain and fatigue.

Trauma is often weaved in and through the fabric of our lives. Many think of trauma as one large scale traumatic event. However, complex trauma is not always a single event. It could be a failed attachment to our care takers, experiencing abuse/neglect, multiple losses, shattered relationships, or the inability to protect ourselves emotionally with healthy boundaries. The most disturbing part of a trauma is not only the event itself, but how we perceived the event, and the internalized negative core beliefs about ourselves that developed.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples struggling with relationship issues in this complicated generation of our planet. Primarily, relationship problems involving complex trauma, intimacy concerns, addictive behaviors and codependency. We will carefully untangle any anxiety, self-doubt, obsessive thinking or numbing with internet addictions, work or substances that may no longer be beneficial. Emphasis is placed on integrating new experiences into your life through awareness of where you may be "stuck" in your protective fight-or-flight responses.

If Narcissistic Abuse, Toxic Relationships and Pathological Love Relationships are a pattern in your life or if you have experienced Complex Trauma, Complex PTSD, love addiction, love avoidance, codependency, infidelity, abandonment, divorce or partner addiction, I can help. Do you stay in the wrong relationships too long? Do you keep picking the same type of person in relationships? Do you struggle to have healthy relationships because of family of origin trauma? Are you an Adult Child of a dysfunctional family? Are you ready to develop emotional maturity? If you answered yes to any of these, you have come to the right place.

I believe healing is a process where a safe space, empathy, and insight can provide the opportunity to better know and understand ourselves. This is what I want to provide to you. I consider it a privilege to walk with you on your journey in becoming more of the person you hope to become.
