Therapists in Dallas, TX

Do you want to be successful in relationships? Is depression or anxiety stealing your joy, robbing your peace? As a licensed counselor, supervisor of counseling interns, speaker and life coach, I love to see people heal and grow in ways they did not think was possible. For over 25 years, I have counseled people struggling with marriage, divorce, eating disorders, severe depression, and trauma of every kind. Miracles happen in lives where others say there is no chance. Because I counsel from a Christian perspective, I believe all things are possible. Whatever your struggle is, I want to help!

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 30 years of experience in helping clients and their families solve problems, psychological problems. I am passionate about working with individuals who have problems with the way they use alcohol or drugs as well as those that have developed a drinking or drug problem (addiction). In addition, a significant amount of my work is with individuals that struggle with excess worry and anxiety, from college students to older adults.

Sometimes we need to be heard without judgment. Sometimes we need to make sense of pain in our past to make living in the present a little less difficult. Whatever your need, I hope to provide you with the opportunity for increased growth, connection, and restoration. I am committed to empowering clients as they deal with concerns such as self-esteem, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, spirituality, life transitions, and anxiety. I also enjoy working with young couples preparing for marriage as well as helping couples of all ages navigate the intricacies of communication, intimacy, connection, and a satisfying relationship.

I am a Licensed Psychologist in Texas (in person & virtual sessions) & Illinois (virtual only sessions) providing short and long-term therapy to adults (ages 18 and up). I have worked with individuals from all ranges of life including varying socio-economic status and different stages of life in settings like college counseling centers, community mental health, and forensic detention facilities. Some areas of interest to me are depression or difficult moods, troubling thought processes, low self-esteem, anxiety, anger management, recovery from trauma, and chronic relationship problems/marriage difficulties.

Nothing in life is one size fits all; therapy is no exception. My first priority is to establish a trusting relationship with you, then together create goals tailored to your individual needs. As humans, we tend to shy away from uncomfortable, unwanted, or overwhelming feelings/thoughts. We all develop habits to cope; sometimes those habits may no longer be helpful. In a non-judgmental and safe environment, we will work together, unlock your potential and create the change you desire. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor and fully trained in EMDR in Texas.

A connected, healthy, and successful marriage is possible. If your relationship has been knocked off balance or off course, I can help.

I employ a CBT approach to helping people with mood disorders, including depression, anxiety, panic and OCD.

Most people that enter therapy are stuck...whether it's in relationship conflicts, depressive cycles or life ruts. What helps to get 'unstuck' is a different view and new interactions. I believe all people and situations can change if you want them too. I work well with motivated and dedicated people and help you to find new solutions to your daily problems and conflicts. I am a very interactive, directive, and coaching based therapist who believes that without the skills necessary, the problems interactions will remain the same.
