Family Therapy in Dallas, TX

At some point in our lives we might feel overwhelmed, stuck, as if the life has placed a roadblock on our way. Other times we created our own roadblocks. We are always busy, always running, often take care of others, do what others want us to do, and neglect our own fundamental needs of happiness, belonging, fulfillment, and joy. It is so important to stop for a moment and to create your own safe space for internal search and reflection that would lead to finding YOUR OWN answers and solutions. As a therapist, I offer such space for you.

I am passionate about creating an environment where one feels comfortable and safe. My clients would describe me as patient, competent, goal driven, and honest. As a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor, I'm committed to challenging you to be honest with yourself while making progress each day towards our long-term goals. It is important to me to empower my clients to be their own agents of change as well as be an anchor for themselves when presented with difficulties in life. I'm eager to work with clients of all populations, including the LGBT Community and other minorities.

Hello, I am glad you are here! Whether you are seeking change for a healthier, happier life, or just need a non judgmental ear to listen, I am here to support and empower you. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, family conflicts, coping with grief and loss, parenting issues, social behavior, and crisis counseling. I have an open minded, compassionate approach. My counseling style really depends on the client and what best fits the situation (no one person is the same). Person-centered therapy, Solution Focused therapy, and DBT have been my main therapeutic approach and style.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker/Therapist and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, my areas of competence include individual counseling, group counseling, Substance abuse counseling and family and marriage counseling. I am qualified to diagnose but not able to prescribe medications to clients. I believe that clients have the ability to choose how to resolve their own problems and can make their own decisions with my assistance as a facilitator. I believe that clients are responsible for their own behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. As a counselor, I hope to facilitate for my clients actualization of true authentic self.

Adolescent and adult cognitive behavior therapist with training and experience in depression, anxiety, family stress, suicide, life changes, and emotional dysregulation. I tailor each treatment plan and session to my client's goals and strengths in order to increase emotion regulation, manage ineffective thoughts, and increase distress tolerance. My goal is for clients to develop and implement coping skills, improve interpersonal effectiveness and create a life worth living. I believe that unconditional positive support, honesty, and a little humor are crucial to success in therapy.

My clientele for the past 30+ years have been largely executives and business owners referred by colleagues. As a result I work especially well with clients many therapists avoid-aggressive, opinionated and highly verbal people, including men. My colleagues frequently refer friends and family members to me as well as difficult clients, in addition, I work well with couples. I keep abreast of current therapy systems and adapt my style to the needs of the client. I do not fall into the managed care trap of shortchanging the client in order to accommodate bureaucracy.

My philosophy for therapy, is to value and create meaningful and empathic relationships that work to maximize a client's potential and wellbeing. Having worked with clients and families possessing a variety of cultural values, biases, and worldviews, I has developed highly effective interpersonal and intercultural communication skills. Exploring the family system is at the forefront of my therapeutic philosophy. With this philosophy comes an unbreakable dedication to the service of others and a wealth of experience in counseling for families, couples, adults, adolescents, and individuals in crisis.

Your personal experiences of trials and tribulations have the power to curate meaning and purpose in your life. I believe that each of us are inevitably interconnected in our human experience and that our systems shape much of our self-understanding in the context of our worldview. I view my role as helping clients reach their capacities for healing and meaning through self-reflection, connection and redirection.

Relationships and human connections are very important to most people. Communication and interaction with others is not always as easy as you and I wish. Life circumstances and our personalities influence the way we all cope with life and relationships. If your life is not what you want it to be today, you are not flawed or need 'to be fixed' in some way, but you can learn to understand yourself better and change perspectives to create a happier life, one more suited for you.
