Family Therapy in Dallas, TX

I am a Licensed Professional Therapist in Texas with over 20 years of experience serving the needs of individuals, families, and children. I strive to understand ones concerns and assist in your journey towards better emotional and mental health. My therapeutic approach focuses on encouraging and assisting clients to develop perseverance, become more flexible, and increase their self-worth through evidence based social work modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Supportive Therapies, and Problem Solving Strategies.

Are you overwhelmed by your stress, emotions, or current ways of thinking? Maybe you are struggling with anxiety, depression, a romantic or family relationship, decision, or difficult adjustment/transition period? Regardless of what you are facing, I work from a belief that all people have resiliency to face life's challenges-and my role is to help you find that strength within yourself. With every client, I am genuinely interested in learning more about you and how I can be most helpful-which means I will use an individualized/customized approach, as opposed to a "one-size fits all" treatment.

My approach to counseling is based on a variety of treatment modalities that I have learned throughout my career and tailor to your unique needs. I do not believe that "one size fits all" in counseling and I strive to build on your 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 am also an LPC-Supervisor and am accepting LPC-interns.

We all have a story that impacts who we are today. Part of your journey to discovery and healing is telling that story. I provide a safe, caring, and non-judgmental environment for my clients to share, explore, and process life's events on their path to growth and healing. I have experience working with clients who are dealing with trauma recovery, anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, marital issues, and other mental health struggles. My door is open to everyone. It is my priority to meet my clients where they are and provide unconditional positive regard to everyone I work with.

Our work together is always guided by what you want to talk about, and I welcome your feedback as we go along.

I endeavor to assist you in gaining insight, use new approaches to aid in making positive adjustments in your interpersonal, family , social, and work life.

I believe therapy involves collaboration with my clients for individualized care. Whether working with an individual, a couple, or a family , I provide therapy that helps clients explore their past and present dynamics to provide corrective experiences. I see people as the experts to their own experiences. My clinical style involves strength-based approaches to help my clients feel supported while incorporating evidence-based practices and providing direct feedback and guidance. My hope is that through therapy you can overcome things that are holding you back from having healthy relationships and discovering your full potential.

What drew me to the counseling field was my passion to advocate for people who have experien trauma (relational, spiritual, physical, sexual, emotional, and more). I take an eclectic approach, meeting you wherever you are in the process and tailoring treatment based on my extensive training in trauma modalities. I cherish this process and helping survivors heal. As a mother of two, I have plenty of material to pull from and am equally passionate about working with parents, especially those who are facing parenting transitions and blended families. With support, validation and humor, I can help make parenting fun again.

We all struggle in life but sometimes no matter how hard we try, we don’t seem to be able to get out of it on our own. Are you looking for someone who will center on what your needs are?

I deeply believe that when there is a member in the family who is struggling, the whole family is adversely impacted. Issues that may affect a family member include anger, anxiety, depression, sibling or parental conflicts, a learning difference or a past traumatic experience.

I will help you to develop the understanding, skills and strategies needed to better equip yourself and your family to deal with particular circumstances or stressful transitions.
