Therapists in Ellis County, TX

My desire to positively impact the lives of others is the reason I became a counselor. I am passionate about helping individuals overcome the mental and emotional obstacles that are preventing them from living their best life. I believe that is best done by partnering with the client to design a specialized treatment plan to bring about the necessary changes and growth to achieve the client's goals. I also believe in providing an empathetic and encouraging environment to facilitate such changes and growth. I work with teenagers and adults in the areas of depression, stress, anxiety, self-harm, and self-esteem, to name a few areas.

Currently accepting NEW Clients. People pleasers; please report here. Congratulations! You have taken the first step of acknowledgement. It becomes concerning when pleasing others neglects your happiness and most importantly your mental wellbeing. If you can identify, you may be feeling like you’re unworthy, you can’t say no, you have a fear of abandonment, you’re made to feel guilty for choosing yourself, or maybe you feel like pleasing others is the only control you have. I invite you to take this journey with me in making the relationships you have with others benefit you as well because.

I work with clients who are willing to invest in themselves and their personal growth and healing. I believe that all of us have been wounded in various ways and to differing degrees by the vicissitudes of life and events of our past. I do not pathologize our natural responses to such painful events but rather help people to heal from them. This frees people to live fully in the present.

Do you have longings or yearn for belonging? Have you had your hopes dashed by betrayal from a partner, spouse, or loved one? Hurting from life not being the way it should be?

My job is to create a safe space for you to explore your story, your longings, your hopes, your dreams, and maybe even experience moments of JOY! I do not ask my clients to do anything I have not done or am not willing to do myself. I want to explore what direction of healing is right for you.

It is my prayer that God will use each counseling opportunity to allow me to help a person see the strengths within themselves and to take one step at a time in overcoming the struggles of life. Struggles and setbacks in life can hit anyone at any time; none of us are immune. I also believe God wants each of us to walk with joy in life, however, I believe he knows we will need His helpers here on earth in staying on that joyful walk.

My goal is to help individuals to get through their emotional problems and traumatic experiences and to heal the pain they feel.
