Child Therapists in Far North, Dallas, TX

If you’ve noticed a pattern of “stuck-ness”, or that you’re feeling confused about what you’re experiencing, it may be time to start therapy that focuses on trauma. Trauma can inform how we view ourselves, the world, and others, and sometimes these beliefs manifest as negative cycles. Maybe you noticed a pattern in your family of origin that you don’t want to recreate in your own life, but feel stuck on how to prevent it from happening. Maybe you’re noticing that you react a lot more than respond. It feels like a new situation, but same pattern. The good news is, you don’t have to navigate this alone.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, and have been in private practice for 32 years. Half of my practice is with adults. Issues addressed range from depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder and anger to relationship and family difficulties. In addition, I counsel couples marrying or divorcing. I am trained as a family mediator. The other half of my practice is with children and adolescents in individual and group therapy.

My ideal client is open to change and teachable as well as resourceful.

I enjoy helping children , adolescents and their families navigate through the complexities of powerful emotions and challenging life circumstances. I bring a warm sense of humor with an empathetic awareness to people struggling in tough situations. I want to meet you where you are in life's journey, while bringing a fresh, non-judgmental perspective to each counseling session. Whether you are a frustrated parent dealing with a difficult teen, a tired parent working to understand your little one, or a family adjusting to a "new normal", counseling can be a helpful resource to gain tools and support.

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck? Has a depressive episode led you to feel deeply alone?

Through empathy and therapeutic humor, I strive to create a safe place in which you can grow.

Do you find yourself struggling with depression, reconciling your childhood abuse, or suffering from grief and loss?

You know there is something wrong yet you can't point it out. You feel lost and you feel like you are drowning with no escape. You want to feel better so you are searching the internet looking for answers and help, yet, you may feel anxious or stressed about having to start all over again on the life you worked so hard and dreamed of. You have memories of a once happy life and now you feel it is crumbling down and it is out of your control and you are saddened because you have invested so much. Your life doesn't feel the same and there is not enough energy or connection to repair the caused damages.

I consider it an honor to walk with clients on their journey toward healing. Knowing that coming to counseling is not always an easy choice, I strive to cultivate a safe, accepting, and authentic environment, meeting the client where they are. I believe that people can make positive changes in their life with the right process and support, and I will join the client in that process with patience and understanding. My counseling interests include anxiety, trauma recovery, adjustment to life transitions, interpersonal dynamics, and helping kids heal from various emotional disturbances.

Each person has a unique story about what's going on and how they got there. What I incorporate into my sessions is authenticity, humor, and a pragmatic approach. I strive to build a solid rapport with each client, as I know that the therapist/client relationship is essential to healing. I use an eclectic approach and I pull from a lot of different modalities when working with clients. What I find is more important than any theory or modality is being there my client in whatever moment they are in.

I am a mental counselor licensed in two states: TX and WA. I believe everyone has their own defined resiliency.

I place a heavy emphasis on establishing a safe and collaborative relationship with all my clients; I provide each client with a safe, non-judgmental environment to express their issues and concerns. I hope to help people find their strengths and support them in their unique needs.
