Divorce Therapists in Dallas, TX
My work blends neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and energy/performance psychology to help highly stressed, goal-oriented individuals navigate anxiety, relationship challenges, divorce, and professional pressures.
I attend evidenced-based trainings regularly to be up to date with cutting edge treatment approaches. I practice EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) along with Brainspotting because I trust them to fully resolve deep seeded issues. With these modalities I also incorporate other mind-body and somatic-based therapies as needed.

As a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Some people find themselves trying to hold a relationship together, while others are facing a divorce, navigating grief, or dealing with ongoing relationship problems.
Grief, divorce, depression, and heartbreak can begin to show up in conversations, self-esteem, and relationships. It can be hard to understand how things got to this point or how to move forward. I help people process these experiences, reconnect with their voice, gain clarity, and begin believing in themselves again.

I work with issues like substance abuse, recovery and the 12 steps, marriage and family, divorce, depression, anxiety, pre-marital counseling and spiritual issues.
The purpose of therapy is to grow as a person and through the growth process affect changes in one’s life and relationships. As a therapist, I see my role as short term in nature, walking with people through sometimes very difficult chapters in their lives. Individual results in therapy vary, for in the final analysis the client decides their level of commitment to change and personal growth. However, the decision to begin the process of therapy is a courageous commitment to take the first step on the journey of self-discovery and growth.

I help women rebuild after divorce, relational trauma, and other major life transitions by restoring self-trust, confidence, healthy boundaries, and a stronger sense of identity so you can stop surviving and start living with intention.
There are moments in life that change us. Sometimes it's the end of a relationship. Sometimes it's grief, betrayal, burnout, caregiving, or simply realizing you've spent years putting everyone else's needs ahead of your own. Whatever brought you here, you may find yourself asking a question never expected: "Who am I now?" My work isn't centered on the crisis itself. It's centered on what comes next.
I believe healing is more than recovering from what happened to us. It's about reclaiming ourselves, rebuilding our confidence, and creating a life we no longer have to survive.

My approach to counseling is based on a variety of treatment modalities learned throughout my 25 year career in mental health. I do not believe that "one size fits all" in counseling and I strive to build on individual strengths and help you to maximize your potential for growth and fulfillment. My goal is to provide a safe and warm environment, where you and your family can feel comfortable to explore the past, gain personal insight and make positive changes when necessary. I view therapy as a highly collaborative process, where your input is valued and your feedback is used to provide you the best care.

Divorce Therapists
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.
What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.
When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.
How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
