Therapists in Colleyville, TX

On the surface it looks like anger or constant irritation, but beneath the turbulent current of destructive behaviors are emotions like sadness and grief, pain, sorrow and fear. Anger is much more preferable if a lot of your life you have felt powerless or helpless. As you might be figuring out, the power of intense, uncontrollable anger only leads to self-destruction and can deeply hurts others. Self-destruction can look a lot like being stuck, resistance to change even when miserable, using substances, or being undisciplined. It can feel lonely.

In the midst of difficult times and challenges, we find opportunity. I believe that the moments we are pushed out of our comfort zone allow for personal growth and healing. I pull from several different approaches including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). I find that this creates a unique counseling experience for each client and provides a collaborative environment to explore.

Realizing we have a problem and seeking out help and support is a brave first step for anyone. I am glad that you are here.

When life gets difficult and feels heavy, my job is to provide support and a space for individuals to come as they are and leave feeling understood. It is when a person feels safe and understood, that they are able to do the hard work of self reflection, change, and growth. I work collaboratively with my clients to bring awareness to their thought and behavioral patterns so that they can identify and obtain the resources they need to feel more satisfied in their lives. I strive to empower my clients to see the resilience and strength within themselves.

I am equipped with a variety of therapy models and strategies for helping individuals and families. Along with these “clinical” tools, I understand the power of providing an empathetic ear. For me, counseling is a collaborative process that involves building a confidential, unique relationship. Through this relationship, I believe it is my role to help you understand yourself and the world around you better; focusing on thoughts, feelings and behaviors that impact you and your relationship with others.

I have been described as a compassionate, warm, and empathetic therapist. One of my greatest desires is to provide a safe and judgment free space for people to process, explore, discover, heal and acquire tools that promote growth in every area of life. I particularly enjoy working with adults and couples.

Often the weight of the world can feel all-consuming and everyday tasks can come with fear and avoidance. Perhaps even the thought of reaching out to begin therapy ignites feelings of dread. However, deep down, you know you deserve better – because you do! I would be honored to navigate the anxiety, the stress, the sadness, and more with you. Together, we will build upon the strengths you already hold inside, and work to understand the thoughts and feelings that come with everything else.
