Self Esteem Therapists in Colleyville, TX

Do anxious and depressive thoughts interfere with yours or your child's daily life? Does lack of boundaries contribute to feelings of burnout? Feeling this way can impact how we feel about ourselves and how we navigate our daily life. Let's overcome those feelings while changing your internal dialogue to increase self-esteem, boundaries, and reaching goals to live your life in a way that feels authentic for you. My goal is to create a space where you can come to share those feelings freely and at your own pace, with some gentle guidance and humor to help the process.

I enjoy helping my clients empower themselves to live the lives they wish to live, develop self-compassion, & embrace peace, frequently with the help of my therapy dog, Rockstar. I believe many stressful behaviors (e.g., isolation, eating disorders) begin as a way to cope, when we feel we have little control. Even if certain behaviors are now causing you distress, it is amazing that you empowered yourself to manage times in your life when you didn't know how else manage. Now, we can figure out new strategies that not only allow you to survive, but to thrive, in a way that allows you to feel peaceful & free.

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.

My approach to therapy is client-centered and focuses on providing a safe and warm environment. I believe that everyone strives to be their best self, but we often experience challenges that make living our best lives hard to achieve.
