Therapists in Dallas, TX

Reaching out for therapy can be a scary and confusing process and yet we all need support and help at times. Whether it's navigating recent changes in your life or facing life changing or traumatic events, I am here to help you navigate through this process.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience in mental health and substance abuse treatment. I have a general practice in which I treat a wide range of issues some of which include: relationship difficulties, low self esteem, post- trauma issues, depression, anxiety, stage 2 addiction recovery and others. It is my goal to provide a safe caring environment that encourages self-exploration and leads to clients' ability to find joy and richness in everyday life and relationships.

Hello, I am glad you are here! Whether you are seeking change for a healthier, happier life, or just need a non judgmental ear to listen, I am here to support and empower you. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, family conflicts, coping with grief and loss, parenting issues, social behavior, and crisis counseling. I have an open minded, compassionate approach. My counseling style really depends on the client and what best fits the situation (no one person is the same). Person-centered therapy, Solution Focused therapy, and DBT have been my main therapeutic approach and style.

Trauma has a way of taking over every aspect of your life, from your day-to-day interactions with others to the quiet moments alone. Maybe it creeps up in your love life and tells you, that you are broken and unworthy of healthy love. Perhaps it has gotten in the way of your parenting or work and feels like a ton of bricks in a backpack that you can’t seem to put down. Either way, trauma wounds, like grief, anxiety, and depression get in the way of living your life at its fullest potential. They cloud your values and impact your access to peace, pleasure, and pain-free life. What would it look like to unpack this backpack?

As a therapist, I want to help you develop a life worth living. We will work together to set goals, learn new coping skills, implement new behaviors, and explore values so that you can build a life that you are passionate about. In the words of Marsha Linehan, creator of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, I believe, "the most caring thing a therapist can do is to help clients change in ways that bring them closer to their own ultimate goals."

There is nothing shameful about seeking therapy. Therapy should be as normal as going to the doctor for a check-up. My goal is to foster an environment where all individuals, regardless of background, feel safe and unconditionally accepted during the therapeutic process. You are the expert on your own life and I will help you to explore and understand your unique life experiences. Throughout the counseling journey I will always highlight your strengths and resilience.

I offer an empathic and nurturing approach to treatment in which my patients can feel understood and unconditionally accepted. I seek to provide a warm and collaborative environment where we can explore together the circumstances, thoughts and feelings that are creating difficulty in your life. My work often involves helping patients develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for the way past relationships and events may be affecting them in the present. I aim to help them access and learn to rely on their own inner wisdom and courage, and to foster their development of self-compassion and healthy coping skills.

I work with couples and individuals. Many of my clients seek me out when experiencing significant life transitions like a divorce or an existential crisis related to vocation or spirituality. I also work with many people who are interested in reevaluating their relationship with alcohol or another substance.

It can be overwhelming to find a counselor. Sharing your private life and your struggles is difficult. Whether relationship conflicts, uncertainty about life, sexual identity, feeling unmotivated, anxious, sadness, or any number of emotions, it can be challenging to know where to go or who to turn, to make things better. My role as a therapist is to work with you to face challenges, find solutions, and help improve your life. You will not have to do it alone.

It can be difficult going out of your comfort zone and speaking to a stranger about your internal/external battles. I am here to support you through recent life changes, relationship issues, chronic mental health issues, identity issues, and anything else you may not have had the opportunity to process. I have a passion for working with the teenage population, adults, and geriatrics. I enjoy allowing clients the space to address things they feel may be hindering their personal growth so they can become an empowered version of themselves. I prioritize overcoming any obstacles and ensuring you succeed in your journey towards wellness.

Welcome. I’m glad you are here. As a psychologist, I believe that suffering is a difficult but extremely normal part of the human experience. It may sound cliché, but it is often during these challenging times that we experience the most growth as individuals and within our relationships. Instead of avoiding difficult emotions, I will encourage you to be curious and nonjudgmental about your inner experiences during therapy. Gaining a better understanding of your emotions and needs will allow you to create meaningful change in your life. During this work together, you can count on me to be supportive, present, and flexible.

Your internal dialogue can feel so frustrating. Sometimes you’re not sure where the thoughts are coming from, but other times, the messages feel familiar. Maybe you can hear the echo of a family member’s hurtful words replaying in your head. Or maybe it’s a message you’ve heard infinite times from society about all the ways in which you are failing. Logically, you want to believe these thoughts aren’t true, but emotionally, you struggle to reject them.

Are you experiencing relationship issues? Still feeling the effects of past or ongoing trauma? Do you have other mental or relational health needs and learn best through the creative arts? Life can bring about a number of unexpected challenges, often leaving us vulnerable and deeply impacted. While these moments can be opportunities for growth, they can also shatter our understanding of life and can have a lasting effect on our relationships.
