Therapists in Arlington, TX

“Be strong and courageous: resilient in the wake of trauma and trial” This phrase embodies much of my work and life.

As a counselor I’ve walked alongside people of various ages and places on the spectrum of wellness.

Sadness, rage, sorrow, loneliness, and disappointment are all emotions we will, at some time in our lives, be forced to confront and work through. Some people experience these feelings for much longer than they anticipate, to the point they become disruptive to their day-to-day lives. People often do not seek assistance because they are hindered by feelings of shame, guilt, and fear of being judged. My goal is to provide you with a space free from danger and criticism, so you may work through challenging feelings and investigate ways to succeed any challenges.

My goal is to help clients live a healthier life by learning skills which will enable them to cope, and ultimately find hope and happiness. I enjoy helping people move beyond the hurts and pains of current and past issues to discover the strength and beauty that lies within. Goals for my counseling relationships include improving my client's quality of life by helping them live with mindfulness and self-actualization. I offer on-line sessions from anywhere in Texas.

I have a passion for working with adolescents and emerging adults. However, I am committed to helping all individuals. I understand asking for help can be challenging and uncomfortable for some. My goal is to create a space where the client can be open, vulnerable, and communicate their feelings without judgment.
