Stress Therapists in Richardson, TX

Are you struggling to adjust to unpleasant life changes, trauma, anxiety or stress? Are you a parent struggling to cope with the stress of raising children while balancing your own mental health needs? Is tapping into the present moment difficult? Our thoughts and feelings can, at times, feel like huge obstacles to overcome. My passion is helping clients find aspects within themselves capable of overcoming these obstacles, and cultivating a more fulling and present life.

I believe we're shaped by biological (heredity, diet, hormones), psychosocial (peers, family, job stress), and psychological influences (thoughts, self-esteem, perfectionism). Addressing the mind-body interaction is critical. I guide and teach, helping clients learn new skills such as meditation and meridian tapping to handle life stresses. Clients who best fit my style wish to let go of negative patterns of self-doubt, guilt, worry, and feeling "never good enough." My therapy focus is here-and-now, focusing on mind-body habits, to develop new behaviors, recondition brain connections, to go beyond mere understanding or insight.

Thoreau wrote: “All change is a miracle to contemplate, but it is a miracle which is taking place every instant.” Right now, you may be struggling with interpersonal conflict, insomnia, low productivity, loneliness, chronic stress, or insecure relationships.

Sometimes motherhood feels impossible. You want to be different, but you keep finding yourself yelling at your children. The noise, the constant needs...the pressure from all sides, just keeps you going until you drop into bed at night, but then you can't even fall asleep at night because your mind won't shut down. You’re tired of feeling alone. Exhausted from it all. What would it be like if you could wake in the morning without the heaviness of the day that lies ahead? What if you could feel a sense of peace throughout your day rather than the guilt that grips you now? It seems those are only dreams.

Some days life is great, others we get bogged down in our busyness, work stress, family conflicts, school pressures and well, just drama.

I seek to create an open, accepting environment to listen. I offer treatment options that bring health and wholeness. My goal is to create safe space for you to achieve yours.
