Therapists in Colleyville, TX

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.

Are you overwhelmed by your emotions or feeling emotionally numb? Do you find it challenging to be present in your life? Maybe you find yourself or your child reacting in ways that don't seem to reflect who you truly are. Emotions are a natural and valuable human experience and as a licensed counselor I believe that being in touch with, understanding, and processing the emotions you experience can greatly enrich your life. Anxiety, depression, and trauma experiences can each impact how you interpret your interactions, relationships, and emotions. If you feel ready to learn how to regulate your emotions, you are in the right place.

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.

As long as we have breath, we have hope. Whether you've experienced loss, trauma, depression or any adversity, we will journey together to create emotional health and purpose. Counseling is a partnership of your expertise and my experience. Together we can create strategies for a positive self-esteem and healthy relationships.

Are you facing difficulties in life related to a traumatic event? Are you struggling with stress from a relationship? Are anxiety or depression keeping you from reaching your goals? You are not alone, and you have come to the right place. With help, you can learn effective tools to face your obstacles and work to overcome them. Seeking counseling is a sign of strength and courage as you are willing to do the work to get unstuck and move forward in life.

Accepting NEW clients with daytime and evening availability! I am passionate about counseling because I love seeing a client find hope, relief, & realize their own strength and resiliency. My desire is to create an accepting, warm environment where clients can feel safe to be themselves and work on their personal struggles without feelings of shame or guilt. I enjoy working with adults, adolescents, & couples who are struggling with trauma, addiction, body image, communication, grief, and everyday struggles.

What happens when you and your spouse disagree? Do you go round and round with no resolution? Or does one of you get frustrated and stop talking, then you both stop talking? If you feel stuck and it seems there is no way to make things better, you may wonder if your relationship can change. I have good news. There is a path to change, but your relationship is stuck in a negative cycle. This negative cycle keeps you from being able to communicate, resolve conflict, and discuss problems. If your relationship is struggling, it is probably because you are caught in a negative cycle. I want to help you get out of the negative cycle.

Is life difficult for you right now? Do you feel alone or disconnected from others? Is your struggle causing you feelings of hopelessness and despair? Maybe you are finding anxiety, stress, depression, grief, lack of motivation and other personal issues preventing you from enjoying life? You are not made to walk alone in your pain. You were made for connection and a happy, healthy, fulfilling life. You are important and have great value! I will walk with you and your loved ones to find solutions that will bring hope and healing. You don’t have to suffer alone. There is a better life awaiting you!

Life will most certainly involve challenging transitions and we all would benefit from help with navigating life at different times. 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. Whether you are seeking therapy due to a desire for personal development, struggling from a profound life event or difficult transition, or experiencing symptoms or behaviors that are preventing you from having a more fulfilling or meaningful life or relationship, I am confident that we can work together to equip you with the necessary tools to overcome these challenges.

Life is hard! Whether it be stressors of everyday life, family or marital issues, school or work-related problems or because of recent or past trauma/grief, life can become messy. It gets hard not only for oneself, but also for loved ones or those around us. The reality is it happens to ALL of us. Sometimes all we need is for someone to listen with compassion and without judgment. Sometimes we require resources or coping strategies to help navigate the obstacles life throws at us. No matter what it is we need, therapy is the first step. Therapy equips us with the tools that we need to face whatever hardships we have.
