Female Therapists in Arlington Heights, Fort Worth, TX

In our lives, there is not always an obvious path. Choices and decisions can be extremely confusing. You may wonder, "How did I end up here?" Therapy can offer incredibly important moments of reflection and insight. My goal, as your therapist, is to invite you into the process of paying attention, being heard, and discovering your needs. Therapy requires trust, and the relationship that emerges between us will hopefully be significant and meaningful in your life.

My counseling approach stems from my biblical world-view and my faith in Christ Jesus. This viewpoint shapes how I interact with my clients. I am seeking to help you live a full and healthy life by teaching you to set appropriate boundaries, take responsibility for your life, and heal in the midst of pain. I do this through integrating biblical truths and proven psychological tools. At times we all need assistance in making changes in our lives and I am here to help you do that.

I have been counseling individuals in Texas for 8 years. Some of the areas I provide counseling for are those struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, life stressors, work stressors, divorce and separation, anger management, impulse control, substance abuse and relapse prevention. Together with the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy we work on setting attainable goals and developing appropriate coping skills for triggers of those unwanted symptoms. Working together to eliminate these symptoms and develop a relapse prevention plan to prevent them from returning.

I am an experienced Psychotherapist and Life Coach who is dedicated to providing exemplary treatment for individuals, utilizing a holistic approach. I will offer support and guidance while you navigate through everyday stressors that affect your well-being, while uncovering your strength and resilience. Emotions are data, a signal that we should check in with ourselves to ensure that our needs are being met. Doing this in a way that honors who you are based on your values and beliefs takes work. It requires a decision to be open to the uncomfortable parts of the process. You have the ability WITHIN you. Trust yourself.

Therapy is not a one-fits-all approach and should tailor toward the individual, I, therefore, use a variety of therapies; Cognitive-behavioral therapy, person-centered solution-focused, client-centered, dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness, relaxation techniques, motivational interviewing. Often life struggles leave us feeling overwhelmed and hopeless making us feel out of control of our wellbeing. It is my greatest passion to aid my clients in instilling that hope through empowerment, education and guidance I believe that everyone has the ability to find inner peace and strength to overcome these obstacles.

We will work together to explore, excavate, and identify growth limiting factors in your life. And when you are ready, I offer a fresh perspective backed by a toolbox of evidence-based techniques and methodologies to help you live your most satisfying life.

Things seem dark; you may be overwhelmed, but you are not alone. I believe that our relationships shape and define us, as we come to know ourselves by being known. We can feel broken by relationships, but relationships also have the power to heal as we begin to experience ourselves in a new and powerful way. This is a tremendously vulnerable, scary, and exciting place to be. Sometimes it takes reaching the point of desperation to take this leap into new and unknown territory. Change is always possible, and there is no such thing as "too late", but it takes courage to begin.
