Gambling Therapists in Bedford, TX

My heart and expertise are in the area of dealing with relational issues whether it be between a couple or between parents and teens. So many times, communication gets in the way of being able to deal with the real issues so there is no real resolution. I also have a great desire and many year of experience in working with women's issues. Each individual experience we go through, does affect us, however, that does not mean that we cannot change the way we respond to situations or the way we think about things.

I specialize in the treatment of Complex Psychological Trauma including relational trauma from abusive relationships, PTSD, and all forms of addiction including sex and other process addictions (such as pornography, gambling , and food). I have a great deal of experience working with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Depression, and Bipolar Disorder. I assist individuals in establishing skills to set and maintain appropriate boundaries, identify codependency, address denial, and improve conflict management tools.

Are you struggling with alcohol or drugs? Do you fight with your spouse over the same problems in your marriage? As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I can help. Using proven therapy techniques for individual and couples, I help my clients address their issues to facilitate personal growth and ultimately reconnect with themselves and others. Together, we discover empowering alternatives and solutions for problems by gaining awareness into their origins and affecting positive change in a supportive environment.

On any given day, we face countless stressors and challenges. We may begin to see the world as burdensome, puzzling, and just too heavy to bare. “Life on life’s terms” can be a daunting and overwhelming prospect, even for the strongest among us. We live in a world that is increasingly demanding. More and more, people feel isolated and disconnected. We can become anxious, fearful, lonely, and angry. The good news? People CAN and DO change. They overcome. I've worked with countless people who have made positive change and had positive outcomes.

I am eclectic in my approach, customizing treatment to meet individual needs and utilizing a strength approach. My style is direct and empowering.

Indeed, we all have hurts that need attention and we do not always know how to do that. I believe we were created for relationships and at times those relationships or how we are going about them can be unhealthy. Due to that, we have adapted and learned coping mechanisms that have allowed us to function and move on. However, those coping mechanisms can stop working after a while and this is what creates an imbalance in our system that we need to make right or it can begin to generate stresses that spill over into other aspects of our lives.
