Therapists in East Dallas, Dallas, TX
It is my belief that psychotherapy has the best chance to be effective when the client and therapist have a strong therapeutic alliance. That is, they have a good working relationship and are working toward exactly the same goals using methods or approaches best suited for the client. I strive to achieve this by providing a warm and safe climate, listening closely to the needs of my clients, and discussing our options and strategies.

My approach to therapy is very relational and client centered as I focus on the concerns of the client and build on their strengths. Whatever the client is concerned about and wants to focus on is what spearheads our work together. I tend to focus on medical and social determinants of health and like to provide psychoeducation. As a team, I believe that we can work towards growth.

All we have to be in the world is kind and brave. Really. And I believe you can do that. Have you ever felt like you were walking on eggshells in your relationship? Do you feel like no matter what you do it is wrong from your partner's perspective? You shouldn't have to feel like this in your relationship. No one should have to feel afraid of the person they love. If you have begun to feel down on yourself because of the way your partner treats you, I would love to help you grow in understanding of present dynamics and experience relief so that you can move forward with confidence.

You feel like anxiety has crept into all areas of your life. You avoid decisions or situations that feel overwhelming, and instead turn to any distraction (mindless eating, social media, drinking, etc.) you can find to avoid the shame and guilt of not moving forward. Maybe you're struggling with body image and wonder if you're relationship with food is normal. If you're in a relationship, maybe you feel disconnected from your partner and don't feel heard, much less understood. You avoid topics of conversation like intimacy, needs or finances because it always ends in conflict.

Sometimes the first step can be the most difficult one, but you made it. Each client that comes through the door is admired for taking a step towards healing and gaining insight into their own thoughts and emotions. Having a safe and healthy environment where you are able to openly discuss difficult situations without judgement in today’s society can be the difference between personal success and feeling swept away and emotionally stuck.

Are you the one who always has it together on the outside, but feels unseen, exhausted, and unfulfilled on the inside? You might find yourself constantly striving for perfection, putting others’ needs first, and never feeling like you measure up, no matter how much you achieve. You’ve been the dependable one—the rock everyone leans on—but when it comes to your own needs and emotions, it feels like there's never time or space for you.
Maybe you grew up in an emotionally distant home where love felt conditional, and now, you find yourself struggling to figure out your own feelings, overwhelmed by the pressure to keep it all together.

We totally get that starting therapy can feel intimidating which is why were giving therapy a modern makeover, making it cooler and more relatable than ever. Therapy is about understanding the self that you are and sometimes getting to know yourself is to unknow yourself. It's all about being real and feeling heard, exactly as you are in a space where you're free to be YOU. The greatest act of self-love is to no longer accept a life you are unhappy with. Happiness is not something you can chase. It is something you have to allow. If trauma can be passed down so can healing.
