Christian Therapists in West, Arlington, TX

In my experience as a human I have come to understand that life is hard. Day to day challenges arise and can bring un-enjoyed stress. Relationships are a part of everything we do and our best intention can be met with complication . My training from Moody Bible has helped to build my faith and resources. I was blessed again when attending Abilene Christian University, to obtain a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy that has awarded me extensive knowledge in working with individuals and couples.

If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, overwhelming emotions, difficulty completing everyday tasks, panic attacks, major life transitions, or spirituality I would love to come along side you and help you navigate these struggles and the emotions that come with them. I bring a listening ear, a non-judgmental attitude, and a sprinkling of sarcasm and humor to sessions. All I ask is that you be ready and open to face your struggles. If you would like, I can incorporate art and Christian counseling in to sessions as well.

Facing the great unknown? Depression, anxiety or fear? Have you experienced abuse or trauma? I counsel people ages 16 and up experiencing anxiety, depression, fear, grief, relational issues, mood disorders, addictions, long-term illness, and phase of life problems. This is accomplished from a non-judgmental perspective, going at a pace you set.

People generally don't seek out therapy when life or circumstances are going as they hoped or expected. For over 25 years, the practice of psychology has been my chosen profession. I consider it an honor to assist people in better understanding their circumstances and in identifying a path that can lead to growth and healing.

People and their challenges come in all shapes and sizes, some of which you may not have ever planned on encountering! Regardless of how well prepared you may or may not feel, it always helps to have someone outside of your own head to lend perspective to your specific situation. I would love to assist in your efforts to find healing and empowerment in a safe, non-threatening environment. Christian counseling is available upon request.

My mission is to provide accessible, comprehensive, and excellent counseling from a Christ-centered worldview. Ultimately, I seek to serve my clients with compassion and wisdom, in a Spirit-led process, sharing the timeless truth of Scripture. My counseling approach uses skills and techniques that are clinically effective, while rooted in the Christian faith.

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.

All of us would generally be content if we had peace of mind and were for the most part happy. Sounds easy doesn’t it? The truth is, life can get complicated and at times just plain difficult.

Do you want to feel heard without being judged? Are you looking for guidance through a complicated situation? I can help you with that! Sometimes we need someone to help us realize what it will take to work towards goals and to move forward in life in a positive direction. Some of the challenges I have helped clients with consist of mental illness, behavioral problems, substance abuse, grief and loss, anger management, self-esteem and more. I also have a passion for working with clients that need guidance with finding their way through marital and relationship obstacles, anxiety, depression, and career guidance.

Life can be challenging at times. I believe that finding our unique purpose in life can help us lead productive, fulfilling lives. With the right tools, coping strategies, and supports, we can achieve a balanced rewarding outlook on life. I believe the therapeutic process is primarily about two things: relationship and connection. I love supporting people through the obstacles of life. In doing so, I enjoy taking the opportunity to laugh, connect, be genuine, and down to earth. I have a passion for working with children and young adults, navigating such a challenging and hopeful phase of life.

As a psychologist I counsel many people who feel they are at their lowest point even when no one knows they are feeling this way. I also counsel people who just need a listening ear and support. Your willingness to seek more from your life instead of living with the status quo is admirable.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, I work with clients to gain insight and develop potential solutions to the many things life brings.

I have been a counselor for 25+ years. While my passion is working with couples, I also love working with individuals and teens, helping them through life's difficulties.

We all have issues that creep up. We know, without resolution, minor issues become major.

There are times in life when we get stuck either in our relationships with others or within ourselves. We may be struggling with anxiety, depression, or past trauma and not know where to turn for help. Many of us have grown up in dysfunctional families that are impacting how we feel about ourselves or are creating dysfunction in our current relationships. Because of our upbringing we may be dealing with abandonment issues, neglect, or abuse. These issues create deeps wounds that require professional attention so that the individual can have a healthy sense of self and others.

Welcome! Have you been in your way? Perhaps, past hurt, betrayal and trauma has lead to unhealthy thought patterns and self sabotaging behaviors. Have you normalized prioritizing others while minimizing your needs? If you are visiting, you desire change but unsure where to start. It may be that you are at a fork in the road in your personal life, relationships, family or employment. The past year has transformed your life immensely and you have faced unprecedented emotional, educational and career challenges that has left you, simply put, exhausted. I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental space for adults, teens and couples.

I welcome the opportunity to help motivated clients develop skills to change their lives, accept life when necessary and discern how to use wisdom in everyday life. Emotions and daily struggles can often feel so overwhelming that we operate in patterns of behaviors that are difficult to break. With the help of insight through deep processing, emotion regulation skills, mindfulness and distress tolerance and consistent practice to apply these tools, depression, anxiety, and many other underlying mental health conditions can be managed.

Counseling is a safe place where you can learn, grow, and develop the skills needed to navigate the challenges of life. My clients describe me as kind and compassionate, someone who cares deeply about helping you learn, grow, and heal as you overcome life's challenges.

My counseling philosophy is simple, “It is okay, not to be okay”. Many of us do not completely understand this essential and fundamentally important concept. I am dedicated to providing compassionate and individualized care. I enjoy working with teenagers, ages 13 to 18, adults and married couples. My heart beats for those who are in pain. I take pleasure in assisting clients learn healthy and therapeutic tools to cope with life’s curve balls.

Maybe, just maybe you are feeling kind of stuck and have begun to wonder, 'could therapy help ME?' You might feel as if you are a hostage to your thoughts, emotions, and feelings. Maybe the rut you find yourself in is keeping you tied down to old and unhelpful patterns. Maybe you would like to figure out the whys of your life so you can move into a future where you are confident and at peace. I can offer tools and skills in a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where you find encouragement and hopefully free yourself from those ineffective and unhealthy ways of being.

I firmly believe that mental health is just as important as physical health, and attending to your mental well-being is essential to living your best life. I am passionate about advocacy and research within the field of mental health. Recently, I had the opportunity to contribute to the field by co-authoring several scholarly articles published in the coming months regarding Positive Psychology interventions, Autism (to include cortisol levels in Autism), and Peer-Mediated versus Parent-Mediated Interventions. I welcome the opportunity to serve the needs of individuals, couples, and families of all ages and backgrounds.
