Humanistic Therapists in Lake Dallas, TX

We all get "stuck" from time to time. Using client centered counseling, I begin in"the here and now". Solution based therapy is also an integral part of the experience. The client guides while I serve as the agent in the helping process. I offer tools to get you "unstuck". Life is full of conflicts. Gaining the skills to manage conflict gives you confidence, empowerment, and liberation! You will enter an environment of acceptance, encouragement, as well as growth. Each individual has special gifts to offer in this life. I am here to offer you insight into your life journey.

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.

Our current and past life circumstances can often leave us with feelings of stress, anxiety, and sadness. These emotions can be confusing and difficult to manage and process. My goal is to come alongside clients to reach personal goals, using warmth, understanding, and acceptance.

I enjoy working with clients with a variety of concerns including general anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues.

Counseling is about working together in a nonjudgmental and caring environment to meet your goals, bring balance back into your life, and help you harness your own abilities in the healing process. I believe in empowering you to lead and guide your own personal growth within an accepting and trusting counseling relationship. I understand that every person is an individual, with specific emotional issues, life views and wants. I focus on how you are experiencing life in the present moment and what we can do together to provide self exploration, self understanding, and an avenue of balance along your life path.

Do you ever feel like life is just life-ing? Everything is not what it seems? Navigating and managing the stresses of life can be challenging for everyone whether you’re 8 or 48. It’s not about what direction the curve ball is coming from, it’s about how you catch it.

You've been struggling for some time with being all alone in the world. You constantly have nagging worries that you will never find happiness or fulfillment. None of your friends understand what you are going through. It is so difficult to believe that things will ever get better. Close partners in your life abandoned you when you needed them the most. You try to move on, but you catch yourself thinking things like, “Am I attractive?” “Why don’t I feel good enough?” "What if I spend the rest of my life alone?" "What if I really am a failure?" The truth is, you deserve to live a life free of worry and fear. You deserve to thrive.

Growing up as an only child in two culturally different households was tough. It feels like you’re always shape shifting to make everyone else more comfortable. Never getting a chance to relax into yourself. This left me on high alert, constantly second guessing all of my decisions. I didn’t know who I was, I was stuck feeling depleted and anxious to make any moves for fear I would seem foolish, or worse, fail. I became a therapist to help people who feel lost, whip those nagging voices in their head into shape. I'll help you challenge the unhealthy patterns you’ve gotten into because of doubt, shame, and believing the haters.

I bring fresh and contemporary methodologies to the mental health counseling field. I strive to make therapy accessible, interactive, and captivating.

Relationships can be difficult to navigate, both with others and with oneself, and not having the right tools can make a difficult job even more challenging. Add to this day-to-day life events and unprocessed trauma, and it can be easy to feel like things will not get better, leaving you feeling empty and hopeless. I want to be there on your journey by holding the space for you, helping you process your thoughts and feelings, learning who you are and what you need, and supporting you as you learn new skills, strengthen the ones you already have, process your trauma safely, and develop and/or nurture healthy relationships.

I also love facilitating groups, training, and teaching experiences to promote community and individual learning.
