Therapists in Dallas, TX

If we are being honest, change can be a scary thing to approach. Yet I would argue that we all have areas of our lives that we would like to change or improve. Sometimes we simply want to understand ourselves better, sometimes we want to improve our relationships, and still other times we have serious concerns with our mood, anxiety, or current behavioral patterns. I use a personable, relatable approach to therapy to assist in navigating some of the discomfort inherent in the therapeutic process. This is a place of non-judgement, and I am open and accepting of all persons and identities.
