Therapists in 77005

I attained a BA degree in English Literature from Bethel University, a Master of Divinity degree from Princeton Seminary, and a Masters in Counseling degree from the University of North Texas. From 1995, I've worked in several counseling agencies, psychiatric hospitals, a medical institution in Dallas, and private practice therapy services in the Dallas metro area. In these past years, I have assisted many individuals, couples, and families to process their concerns and overcome difficulties.

No matter where you are in your inner journey, life continues to challenge you to grow and change. You might be struggling with aftermath of a recent traumatic experience. Maybe you are haunted by painful childhood experiences that still affect your life today. Perhaps, things are going smoothly, and you are seeking ways to improve your performance at work, sport or a hobby. Let me help you take the next step.

Relationship difficulties do not define a relationship. Mental health challenges do not define an individual. They are natural human trials to be experienced. I have over a decade of knowledge as a research investigator in psychology to assist in your counseling journey through experiences. I approach the human condition as if we contain natural resources, yet to be mined, to achieve full potential in life and relationships. There’s optimism in human nature and it contains hope to aspire towards greater self-understanding. Once a person becomes more self-aware of his/her behavior, it’s possible to change or adapt for the better.

I want to help you be your most successful, healthy, and authentic self, and am here to support and empower you as a guide to overcoming your personal struggles. I believe everyone is the expert in their own lives, and I treat others with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. As a friendly and relatable professional, I deeply honor the client’s unique perspective and strive to develop a successful therapeutic relationship. I also push clients out of their comfort zones by challenging their existing thought processes and patterns.

Reaching out to start therapy can be one of the hardest things one does; my goal is to provide a safe and comforting place to feel heard. Advocating for mental health is close to my heart, and helping individuals become happy, healthy, and empowered is a passion of mine. I hope to walk beside you on your therapy journey toward reaching your goals and a happier path.

Most of us will struggle with worry, sadness, or a sense of loss at some point in our lives. Acknowledging these events and facts of life can be scary--and uncomfortable, too. People will try many ways to cope with these negative feelings, and many of them will be successful. I am here to help the ones who do not seem to find a way out of their mental struggles. I am here to help epople, through various approaches, reach self-awareness and self-healing.
