Spirituality Therapists in Flower Mound, TX

My aim is to help you better understand your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, what they mean, and how they relate to you. I am committed to providing mental health services in a safe, secure and confidential environment. Every one faces unique challenges and needs to work on themselves at their own pace, and I’m here to help you along in your own journey to becoming the best version of yourself. Whether that be depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, relationship issues, communication issues, spirituality , life coaching, and major life stressors. I am also experienced with working with student athletes and faith-based.

Sometimes we can get thrown into changes we weren't ready for. Maybe the change is welcomed. Regardless of whether these changes are expected or unexpected, I am confident that together, we can embrace these changes in the midst of joy or grief & become our own resources as we learn new ways to approach the issue or the situation. This is the heart of my therapeutic approach. I believe individuals, couples, & families have the ability to change. I am ready to walk with you on your journey & look forward to discovering ways which strengthen your approach to life's changes.

I believe that each of us has within us everything we need to reach our full potential. Often in life, people receive messages that some part of themselves is not acceptable, which causes them to believe that they must change themselves to meet others' expectations. Through a genuine counseling relationship in which people feel understood and accepted for who they truly are, I believe that people have the capacity to heal from within and live meaningful and fulfilling lives in which they are free to be fully themselves, trust themselves, and meaningfully connect with others.

As of June 5th 2023, I have a few openings! Please read this all the way thru, you won't regret it!..... Have you ever sworn to yourself and others that you were never drinking/drugging again?.....And truly meant it?....only to go back on your word soon or eventually? ..........What changed?......You will come to see how it was your MIND that changed. If we don't address how the Mind Drives Relapse, it will continue. It all starts in your BRAIN & experienced as your Mind. I will provide you the tools needed as well as counseling each step of the way. I use an integrated approach blending neuroscience, spirituality and psychology.

Everyone, wherever they are on their journey, wants “better” – better relationships, better feelings about self, satisfaction in life – and we try so many things but often come to places where we feel stuck or see ourselves repeating similar patterns. You may be adept at moving on after walking through difficult circumstances, yet this time your “bounce back” doesn’t seem as strong. Making change in one's self can appear difficult, especially if we cannot see for ourselves what needs to be changed. Change can be exhilarating, liberating and an adventure, not an arduous task of “what’s wrong with me?”

I believe we all possess the potential to meet our challenges and find a fulfilling life. I look forward to accompanying you along this important journey. Through exploration of your experiences and through creative and courageous responses in your relationships, new pathways emerge.

I provide play therapy for children, allowing them to feel safe, express themselves, and find solutions to problems, all in their natural language of play.

Are you happy with who you are, or what you do? What about your relationships? Your partner? Your family? Are you happy with your career? Your life? Your accomplishments? Are you happy, period? If you are struggling with any of these, in any way, I'd like to help. The struggle can be a universal one, but sometimes the right kind of help can be hard to find. The kind that makes a real, lasting difference.
