Therapists in Allen, TX

My role as a counselor includes working with teens (14+) and adults. I also do a lot of work with parents and will incorporate family sessions as needed. I treat individuals struggling with life changes, low self-esteem, self-harm, suicidal thinking, behavioral problems at home and/or at school, anxiety, anger, grief and loss, trauma, social struggles, relationship struggles, family conflict, divorce, and depression. I utilize various counseling approaches based on each clients needs and goals, including Cognitive-Behavioral, Person-Centered, and Solution-Focused Therapy approaches.

Trying to find the elusive "work-life balance" before social distancing and schools being shut down was hard enough! Now with the coronavirus we are struggling even more with increased anxiety, difficulty sleeping, feeling isolated, kids arguing about everything, and no way to get out and socialize or utilize our previous modes of coping. You do not have to walk this new path alone! We offer tele-therapy sessions to anywhere in the state of Texas...whether you are needing short-term help to just get through this public health crisis or more long-term therapeutic work; we would be honored to assist you.

Working with children began at the young age of 16 and has continued through all educational experiences. Children show so much emotion through their play that it is sometimes hard for the parents to catch onto their children's emotions and feelings. I hope to be that person that is there for the child/adolescent/teenager through all aspects of their life that can be a listening ear and someone they can lean on when they can't tell their family what is going on. I also hope to work collaboratively with the parents/guardians in helping maintain what is learned in the room, into the outside world.

My goal as a clinician is to join you on your healing journey. During times of difficulty, it can feel as though we are walking through the swampland of our souls. My hope is to throw on some rain boots and take that trek with you! My therapeutic theory is that we as individuals are not defined by our struggles, but that we are whole, healthy individuals. It is important that we work collaboratively against these struggles and rediscover those whole and healthy identities. My particular areas of interest include eating disorders, substance abuse, anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Navigating relationships is hard. What do you do when you hear "I want a divorce" or "I love you but I'm not in love with you"? How do you restore broken trust after the discovery of infidelity or an affair? Where do you turn when the intimacy has faded and you both live as roommates? Have you thought or heard "I think I married the wrong person"? These tough questions and issues are a struggle every day for countless couples. It can feel overwhelming, frightening and even hopeless. Does any of this sound like your relationship? Maybe it's time for a change ... time to find hope and healing for your heart and for your home.
