Therapists in Highland Village, TX

My goal in working with clients is to build a strong, authentic, and trusting relationship in which they are able to safely and openly explore themselves, their relationships with others, and any other concerns. I recognize that each client is unique and that there is no “one size fits all” solution. I strive to meet each person where they are and to work collaboratively to meet your individual needs and goals, whatever they may be. I hope to empower my clients to connect with their existing strengths and resources, to face future challenges with courage, and to create more meaningful, healthier lives and relationships.

I believe counseling is a supportive environment within which all persons can seek both understanding and acceptance. Within my counseling work, I emphasize the importance of a trusting, therapeutic relationship with each and every client in order to allow for healthy growth and change. My passion lies with working with children, adolescents, and families in a safe, non-judgmental environment. My experience includes working with children, adolescents, teens, parents, and adults dealing with various mental health issues.

You are not alone. In a society of unattainable standards it can appear that everyone has it together. From relationships to careers, parenting or happiness, we can be illusioned to others living a blissfully smooth life without fear, sadness or conflict. At some point in our lives, each of us may feel anxious, isolated, depressed or lonely and need help dealing with life's challenges. You are not alone. Problems with marriage or relationships, family situations, substance abuse, loss of a job, burnout, or parenting issues life can be overwhelming or debilitating, and at times beyond our ability to manage alone.

Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being.

I believe we all possess the potential to meet our challenges and find a fulfilling life. I look forward to accompanying you along this important journey. Through exploration of your experiences and through creative and courageous responses in your relationships, new pathways emerge. I provide conversation, expressive arts, and activity-based therapies with adults, couples, and teens. I provide play therapy for children, allowing them to feel safe, express themselves, and find solutions to problems, all in their natural language of play. I also enjoy collaborating with parents and caregivers to enhance relationships with their children and ease parenting challenges.

I am a licensed clinician who has experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, OCD, and bipolar. I believe that from our birth we begin building an image of who we are, how relationships should function, and how the world works around us. For many of us, adverse experiences in life can lead to difficulty managing stress or daily functioning as we get older. We may need help processing our lived experiences and understanding how they have effected our decision making and the struggles we face today. I believe that, by focusing on the present and applying the past, we can discover both our goals and our strengths.

I enjoy helping people work through challenges and heal issues that are stopping them from feeling peace. I have a strong sense of respect for each of my clients and believe they are experts in their own lives. Each individual will have their own unique solution as each has their own unique situation. I work to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment for my clients and can offer tools that help them better understand and process issues they are dealing with.

As a therapist, I am passionate about building a relationship with my clients to facilitate positive changes in their lives. Together, we will work to identify personal strengths and resources you already have to make change feel possible. My practice utilizes an integrative and holistic approach to explore problematic thought processes and behaviors that affect your relationships and life roles. Insight-oriented guidance is provided as clients develop skills to navigate through life stressors, gain new perspectives, cultivate self-awareness and personal growth, and find balance.

I believe we can discover a life to love - and while life presents us with periods of stability and order, it also contains times of challenge and uncertainty. I trust that the periods of instability that require change can be successfully negotiated through self-exploration and self-compassion. My role as a counseling professional is to create and maintain a supportive, empathic, collaborative environment where you feel safe to explore and experiment with different solutions to your personal difficulties.

Welcome! Create change... Feel better... Choosing a counselor is a big deal. My hope is to help make the process easier. I have 20 years of clinical experience working with adults and teens, and 15+ years providing EMDR Level II therapy (a modality that can swiftly address anxiety, grief and trauma). In my practice I have seen individuals discover their strengths, heal themselves and create a life worth living. I aim to establish a therapeutic relationship that allows clients to grow and change in a safe and supportive environment. I believe it is important to honor clients' values, unique experiences, and complex journeys.

Are you feeling stuck, anxious, or depressed? Having trouble finding your purpose? Are you ready for the next step but not sure where to start? Maybe you have been through something that you know it's time to process. Whether you know what you want to work on or you need some help figuring it out, I can help you get started on your journey. I am passionate about helping people live happier, healthier, more productive lives. I believe that each client is unique and deserves individualized therapy based on what works best for them.

Do you feel stuck and lost in a loop of negative thoughts and self-doubt? You’re moving through life bogged down in the everyday, but some part of you knows it can be different. You remember feeling empowered, inspired, and excited about life, but you can’t figure out how to get there again. I can help you find yourself again and remember who you are under all those layers of self-doubt, grief, loss, and the needs of others. I love it when my clients re-discover their own light and feel empowered to create the life they deserve.

It is my belief that everyone has innate value and purpose to offer the world and that we all have the power within us to be who we want to be. Oftentimes, obstacles in life keep us from getting a clear vision of how to identify what we want and to achieve our goals. I love helping clients to process through their difficult life experiences identify how these experiences can help propel them forward. I often work with teens and adults who are struggling with Anxiety, Depression, identity, career, or finding purpose in their lives. I also have 18 years of experience as a competitive gymnast and love working with athletes.

I was once asked, when will things stop going wrong and I will be in control of my life? This is a sentiment many of us share which can leave us struggling to get through the day. My response was that change is constant. In today's ever changing world, we are all challenged to adapt. Working together, we will seek self understanding, explore new ways to cope, pursue increased internal control and self-esteem, and strive to become the better versions of ourselves. As we persevere and develop strengths we become stronger more capable. Things that go wrong become small bumps in the road versus the road blocks they once were.

I believe that looking holistically at clients' lives can enhance the therapeutic experience and broaden opportunities for healing. I explore creative and innovative ways to incorporate client's passions into the counseling process. My goal is always to make sure my client's leave my office more aware and hopefully more confident that their lives are evolving toward more helpful and connected ways of living. I challenge my clients to examine their habits, lifestyle, and consistency of positive self regard.

My counseling style is solution focused. I have been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate, with a zeal for teaching coping skills. I like to focus on identifying strengths and helping maximize them to overcome obstacles. I'm here to help sort through things that are difficult right now and offer a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment. The first and most important step is reaching out for help.

You are feeling unfulfilled, lost, and hopeless. Life's meaning and purpose seems elusive to you, if not completely unknown. Your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about yourself are extremely painful and despite the part of you that knows that it's not right, you cannot shake the feeling that they are true. The truth is that there is nothing wrong with you. The truth is that you have been hurt and still have wounds that have never been properly addressed with nurturing and love. I can help you learn to love wisely. My clients find that my compassionate, gentle, and direct conversational style helps them feel safe and at ease.
