Emotionally Focused Therapists in Dallas, TX

Is your child acting out? Is your teenager exhibiting symptoms of depression or anxiety? Are you a young adult struggling in relationship or with your life path? Are there feelings and behaviors separating you and your spouse? Each one of us has a vision of how our lives are “supposed” to go — the kind of person we’re supposed to be, the kind of relationships we’re supposed to be in, the path we’re supposed to be on. Yet, life often gives us a different story to tell... What if there was a space, a place to take a moment? A safe space where you can be heard with compassion and acceptance, toward making a plan for healing and growth.

Together, we will work to consider the influences that form your attachment style, behavioral patterns, and beliefs about yourself and your surroundings. It is common to continue those familiar patterns into adulthood, which can create challenging dynamics in life and in relationships.

Have you been searching for a therapist who truly connects with your preteen or teen? You’ve tried different things, but the communication, relationships, and interactions in your family are just discouraging and frustrating. You’ve tried therapy before, and even considered more intensive treatment like inpatient or residential options for your child. You don’t know what else to do. You are not alone. It is possible for your child to launch making changes within themselves and in their relationships. Family harmony can be a reality.

I believe we're shaped by biological (heredity, diet, hormones), psychosocial (peers, family, job stress), and psychological influences (thoughts, self-esteem, perfectionism). Addressing the mind-body interaction is critical. I guide and teach, helping clients learn new skills such as meditation and meridian tapping to handle life stresses. Clients who best fit my style wish to let go of negative patterns of self-doubt, guilt, worry, and feeling "never good enough." My therapy focus is here-and-now, focusing on mind-body habits, to develop new behaviors, recondition brain connections, to go beyond mere understanding or insight.

I enjoy working with individuals, families, and couples to uncover their limiting beliefs, discover inner strengths and create a vision of how to enhance their relationships. Ideally, clients are eager to learn how to speak their truth and are open to making changes in their lives to improve their situations. Using models of John Gottman, Sue Johnson, NLP, IFS, science-based relationship enhancement techniques, I enjoy helping clients who come to sessions willing to identify the root of their struggles, set goals and create a plan to develop skills to navigate life's ever-changing circumstances.
