Therapists in North Richland Hills, TX

This practice is NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Please call if you are seeking help to make changes in your life. Many people have at least one area where they would like improvement. This might include mental well-being, addiction, intimate/parent-child/friend/work relationships, school/work life, etc. Sometimes it’s easy to know what needs attention in our lives; other times we find ourselves baffled by what is going on inside ourselves. My practice is about supporting you in identifying the kind of life you want and finding the best way to achieve that life. I am progressively oriented.

My primary focus is working with clients who want to create healthier relationships and have more fulfilling connections. This can be for couples, families or individuals. Issues related to family of origin, friendships, intimate relationships, and relationships within families are often addressed in sessions. I also have experience with those struggling with anxiety, worry, and stress. In therapy I believe it is my role to be with clients on their journey of self discovery and acceptance and to build a healthy client-therapist relationship that they can take out into the world and use to build strong connections with others.

Sometimes it seems that nothing works. You may feel angry, sad, or out of control and need help to navigate through rough times. I have been there!

Through a combination of therapeutic techniques, cognitive behavioral, solution focused, reality, family systems, feminist, and humanistic therapies, I will help you identify what is holding you back. The goal is to provide you with the insights and tools you need to move past old, limiting beliefs and behaviors. I will provide dedicated, confidential listening to create a bright future.
