Therapists in North Dallas, Dallas, TX

Welcome! I am not currently taking new therapy patients, but I am accepting new patients for testing. Testing can be a wonderful starting point for treatment, as it can help clarify diagnoses and pinpoint treatment goals for the purpose of psychotherapy. If you’re not quite sure where to start with treatment, testing may be a good option.

My focus is to reintroduce a sense of hope and assist you in reconnecting with your skills and knowledges, bringing your values and hopes for your life to the forefront.

I believe we are formed by biology, family, friends, diet and job stress - which influences our thoughts, self esteem, and perfectionism. I aim to create a safe, accepting place for clients to talk about their deepest concerns and worries. I help clients determine what is important to create change, and together we work to develop the skills for that change to happen. Clients who truly fit with my style desire to release self doubt, guilt, worry, and feeling "never good enough." It is in the context of this accepting relationship that the client begins to feel genuinely worthy.

This is where I can help you start your journey to discovering life doesn’t have to be this way anymore. As a counselor, my job isn’t to give you the answers or tell you what to do. I believe you are capable of figuring that out for yourself. My job is to walk alongside you as you wrestle through life’s difficult moments.

Are you feeling like something is “off”? Is the "committee" in your head so loud it is interfereing? Do you no longer enjoy the things you used to? Are you choosing to “numb out” your thoughts and feelings and engaging in unhealthy habits? Are you able to nurture your relationships, or are you neglecting to “feed” the relationship? These questions require us to take a deep, hard look into “self”, sometimes from a 20,000 feet above perspective. The idea of doing something different can be difficult, but change is necessary to facilitate growth. What is working for you and what can you change? Rearview mirror or forward focused?
