Hi there! Thank you for considering my practice. I have extensive expertise in the following areas: depression/bipolar disorders, anxiety, trauma, parenting issues, behavioral disorders, family discord and child/ adolescent issues (though I work with lots of adults too). My modality is eclectic; however, my approach is tailored to what will work for your unique situation. I have expertise in the area of psychological assessment. I conduct assessments weekly for ADHD, learning differences, behavior disorders, etc. I am a frequent speaker in the DFW metroplex and have been featured as an expert panelist on NPR. But above all, I privilege my clients and their voice.

When real life hits...I work with clients who are dealing with complicated real life issues: anger management, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, marital problems, adolescent issues and behavioral problems, chemical dependency, divorce recovery, trauma recovery, addictions and compulsive behaviors, and behavioral issues, providing prenatal and postpartum counseling.

Life can be tough! With constant pitfalls and hurdles it sometimes seems like you can't win for loosing. Sometimes you just need a safe space to express yourself completely without judgment or fear; or maybe you are seeking insight or direction on new experiences. Whatever life may present come and let's navigate life together!

Are you needing support for trauma recovery, anxiety, depression, Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, and/or Autism? Do you need a therapist experienced with PTSD - acute, chronic or complex? Do you wonder what it feels like to be safe and comfortable? Are you looking for an experienced therapist for your adolescent ? Clients describe me as gentle, consistent, funny, and caring. I believe strongly in the growth and healing potential of every person, no matter how long you have struggled. My commitment is that you will be safe with me, and we will work together toward the life you have been wanting.

I provide counseling services to teens, adults, couples, and families. Expectations: A warm, direct, nurturing, and supportive experience, as we identify and address immediate and underlying sources of distress impeding your ability to live a happier and more fulfilling life. I individualize an eclectic mix of mindfulness, cognitive behavioral, and solution-focused therapy techniques with each client. I also provide career counseling services, memory improvement therapy, study skills training, attention training, executive coaching, and organizational and time management skills training.

I believe that each individual, regardless of age, has the ability to grow and change given the proper tools and support. By providing a meaningful and nurturing environment, I lay the groundwork for personal insight and transformation to occur. I use a non-directive Person Centered Approach to counseling which often involves expressive arts and games. At times, when a more directive approach is appropriate, I use cognitive and/or behavioral techniques.

Maybe you notice a change in your behavior or emotions, or that of your teen . Perhaps your relationship is not as satisfactory as it once was. The truth is, therapy can help you, your teen , or your relationship heal from the stressors you are experiencing. I treat teens, adults, couples and families; working through past traumas, improving relationships, navigating anxiety, and strengthening work/life balance. I discern my methods based on client needs and use therapeutic techniques, such as Motivational Interviewing, CBT, EMDR, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy etc. to assist my clients in achieving their therapeutic goals.

If your teen is approaching crisis, you are scared, or at your wits end, an in-home family intensive will help your family return to calm. Intensives compress 6 months of weekly family therapy into a few days and provide a deeper and more cohesive result. We have time to explore, understand, learn, and practice in real-time, without a stopwatch. The decision to enter a family intensive may feel like a leap. It is a big commitment of time and resources yet will produce an exponential return on investment for your family and teen .

Nothing in life is one size fits all; therapy is no exception. My first priority is to establish a trusting relationship with you, then together create goals tailored to your individual needs. As humans, we tend to shy away from uncomfortable, unwanted, or overwhelming feelings/thoughts. We all develop habits to cope; sometimes those habits may no longer be helpful. In a non-judgmental and safe environment, we will work together, unlock your potential and create the change you desire. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor and fully trained in EMDR in Texas.

You have already taken the biggest step by deciding to look for help and I would be honored to assist you in the next steps of your journey. I specialize in treating depression and anxiety affecting people of all ages. In my practice, I strive to create a compassionate, respectful, and trusting environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their personal experiences. My approach is holistic, focusing on a healthy mind, body, and spirit. I offer solution based tools and techniques that clients can implement immediately. My dog, Baxter, is the office mascot and in attendance for most sessions, offering additional comfort.
