Couples Counseling Therapists in Arlington Heights, Fort Worth, TX

I'm glad you're here! Finding a therapist can be a daunting experience and you have taken an important step. Mental health has been one of the areas of life most negatively affected during this pandemic. I am offering telehealth sessions and in person sessions. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Registered Art Therapist, and EMDR practitioner. I work with adolescents, young adults and women of all ages. I am passionate, both personally and professionally, about loving oneself, ADHD, creative expression, identity work, mindfulness, perfectionism, and diversity and inclusivity work.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who offers individuals, adults, geriatric populations in a general private practice setting in Texas. My practice offers a place where you can feel heard in a supportive, comfortable, and non-judgmental environment. I focus on adult care including women’s issues, career/educational issues, interpersonal communication, self-esteem, anger management, stress management, relationship issues, grief and loss, depression, and anxiety. I like to do therapy in an “eclectic” manner, drawing on cognitive-behavioral, narrative, spirituality, solution-focused, and others.

Keeping everything bottled in might seem like a good idea, but you are bound to reach your limit. You have the right to feel free instead of feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, stressed, and lost. Let’s work together to help you find your way back to yourself and learn to let go. We all have our own struggles in life, but an empathic listening ear and additional support go a long way in finding healthy ways to cope. You have the ability, strength, and courage to change and grow. You have already made a big step toward improving your life. I am here to provide a safe space and guide you as you handle life’s challenges and transitions.

Our firm offers clients a Christian Counseling approach to therapy, engaging emotional, mental, and spiritual struggles. Often these things can feel confusing. Our approach helps connect these, leading to change.

Christian counseling engages your story without judgment, and helps change how you see yourself, others, God, and life experiences. This takes time. I would love to walk alongside you. My experience ranges from residential treatment, church counseling ministry, and private practice. I have also taught counseling in Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Malawi through the Association of Biblical Counselors where I served as Director of Equip the Nations. I am currently developing a curriculum on Pornography addiction.

My greatest reward professionally occurs when someone is set free from their doubts and regains their confidence. In my 25 years as a licensed professional counselor, I still share the feeling of pride when we walk through to a sense of security together. I've named my counseling practice "Serenity" because I believe that adversity will always interfere with our plans, and it's our challenge to meet these complications with fluidity and acceptance.

I am not the mythical King Midas; everything he touched turned to gold. I am not a graffiti artist, trying to paint a happy face on something that sees itself as worthless. I am a custodian, wiping away the debris off of someone of immeasurable value; who does not realize his or her value. My goal is for patients to recognize their incredible worth, and the abundance of personal strengths and tools they have inside themselves. I want each one to be fully human, fully free, fully congruent (what you see is what you get, no pretenses), and fully alive as soon as possible.
