If you are ready to reconnect, communicate with tools in your back pocket, and build the relationship that reflects the love you have for your partner, I invite you to get in touch.
You want a relationship that feels trusting and connected. Right now, you feel misunderstood, distant, and stuck in a cycle of conflict that doesn't serve either of you. Healthy relationships don't just happen- they are built brick by brick. Seeking couples therapy isn't a sign of failure, it's a sign of commitment and love. As a lesbian therapist, I provide an affirming space for LGBTQ+ couples to heal and grow together.

Dr. McElhenie’s ideal client is someone grappling with stress, anxiety, or low self-esteem, often rooted in day-to-day challenges like work pressures, relationship dynamics, or a struggle with self-doubt. They likely feel overwhelmed by negative thoughts and habits but want to make meaningful, lasting changes in a way that feels manageable. These clients are motivated to see results and want guidance that fits into their busy lives, without requiring significant lifestyle changes. They seek tools and strategies they can easily incorporate into their routines to feel more in control, resilient, and self-assured.

I seek to partner with my clients toward healing and growth through 3 dynamic processes: (1) deepening their understanding of Self, (2) strengthening their ability to effectively connect with other humans, and (3) honoring the spiritual and the sacred.
Most people seek therapy because of some kind of emotional suffering or feeling stuck. Psychological or emotional pain can show up in our lives in many ways: feeling disconnected, lonely, constantly anxious or sad, dealing with unhealthy hard-to-change patterns, feeling "not good enough," or relationship conflict. What we call "symptoms" can get in the way of living the life we truly want. When we develop a loving relationship with ourselves — with ongoing self-compassion — we can live a fuller, richer, more meaningful life. I'm here to partner with you toward change, so you can transform your life into what you want it to be.

The issues that arise in our lives can often feel like they are too big for us to handle. We can feel confused, beaten down, or overwhelmed. Life circumstances can lead us to a place where we feel alone and hurting. The most important thing to know when we find ourselves in these places is that you are not alone. Challenges such as anxiety, depression, anger, relationship issues, and chronic stress can leave us all feeling lost. But you do not have to stay lost. You can begin your journey towards the life that you want for yourself and you don't have to go on that journey alone.

I offer individual counseling and couples therapy in Dallas for building securely-attached relationships and releasing trauma from the body.
I help people connect and learn how to be in more satisfying relationships through an attachment-based, trauma-informed lens. Relationship issues often reveal complex attachment dynamics, trauma, addictive processes and other barriers to intimacy. In therapy, we will navigate any negative cycles that trigger conflict, anxiety, self-doubt, and coping with isolation, work, internet use or substances that may no longer be beneficial. Emphasis is placed on self-compassion, emotional connection, and integrating new experiences into your life through awareness of where you may be stuck in protective fight-or-flight responses.
