Emotionally Focused Therapists in Fort Worth, TX

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Tarleton State University. I specialize in the treatment of trauma, anxiety, depression, anger management, emotion regulation, and communication.

Agradezco esta oportunidad para servirle. Primero que nada, es importante que sepa que tengo un gran respeto por cada persona, así como por sus circunstancias e historia. Yo me esfuerzo por alcanzar un nivel excepcional en nuestra relación terapéutica. Para esto, trato a cada cliente como único/a. Por ejemplo: Yo me enfoco en sus metas y presto muchísima atención a los métodos o técnicas de terapia con los cuales se sienta más cómodo/a (en otras palabras, mi tratamiento es personalizado y no genérico o “cookie cutter”). Como puede ver, soy completamente bilingüe (español e inglés). También tengo muchos años de experiencia.

Life is hard, whether hindered by challenges such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, life stressors & changes, or trauma, or simply wanting to become a better version of yourself. I help individuals & couples (Gottman Method Level 1) find direction and improve their lives. Often, my clients will come to me knowing there is a problem, but maybe aren't sure where to begin. It is my joy to help you sort through it all and find your unique path forward. We gather information, set goals, and get to work. When you are motivated to search within and make the necessary changes to thrive, the sky is the limit!

Life presents challenges and the “getting through” part can be daunting. If you are in that place know you are not alone. Taking the step to reach out is the first towards positive change. In my practice, I see clients with diverse histories, personalities, backgrounds, cultures, and have had meaningful success in establishing a collaborative therapeutic relationship. The work I do is interactive and centers on supporting your goals toward a purposeful and satisfying life. Together, we will walk through problem-solving that will leave you feeling balanced and empowered.

**Currently accepting new clients**Evening appointments available**Teletherapy options** Are you having struggles and concerns about your relationship with your teen? Worried about your younger kids who've experienced some life changes, such as a divorce or moving? Do you and your partner feel like you are drifting apart or finding it hard to communicate well? Are you or a loved one struggling with depression or anxiety? Know that there is hope for better interactions and healing instead of suffering. It can be scary to take the first step and call or email for help, but I'm so glad you are considering it!

I started Family Matters Counseling Center after I realized that a family system is one that the client creates and is not born into. From here I developed a passion to learn each unique families story to help them overcome their obstacle in maintaining balance within their family system. I help clients re-ignite their passion and hope in reaching their career and personal goals. I do this in a collaborative and gentle approach as I assist you in your journey with every step.

Sometimes we just need help. Sometimes life hits us hard and we find ourselves stuck. We get consumed by the lies we've been telling ourselves for years. We find our relationships are taking a turn for the worse and confusion, doubt and uncertainty starts to set in. If you find yourself in this place, it's time to reach out for help - it's time you invest in yourself.

Our mission is to help individuals, families, and groups explore the issues keeping them from a satisfying and fulfilling life. FWCAI's clinically trained therapists offer a variety of therapeutic approaches, seeking the best solution for each client. We offer an integrated approach to counseling, using a biblical worldview and our skills and experience to offer counseling from a Christian perspective, although we also use traditional and cutting edge therapeutic approaches and integrate them into our practice where helpful. Not every client shares our worldview, and this integrated approach allows us to serve clients not seeking distinctly Christian counseling.

Life's journey is different for everyone. Sometimes it feels as if we are just along for the ride, whether it's smooth or bumpy. The road to discovering yourself can be difficult and confusing. With the right skills and strategies, you can increase your capacity to navigate a thriving life and enhance your emotional awareness. I strive to help my clients regain control of their lives. As a clinical therapist, I work to help children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families manage the struggles and stress of life, as well as those affected by low self-esteem, depression, anger, anxiety, poor communication styles, and trauma.

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.

My goal as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist- Associate is to be a support and walk along side you throughout your journey. Our sessions are client-centered, which means that you are in the driver's seat of your own life and progress.

I’m a bilingual therapist who helps individuals seeking to grow cognitively, emotionally, relationally, and/or spiritually. At one point or another, people will experience seasons of discomfort, feeling stuck, or general dissatisfaction with an area of life. I help people untangle these confusing seasons and make sense of this particular growing stage.

Life can be tough sometimes. There are times when you just need someone to listen and for you to be able to talk to them openly, without any judgment or fear. Kids, teens, adults, and families are welcome to come and bring their struggles and hurts with them. Young adults who are dealing with the stress of college or just of life in general as an adult can come and learn to release their worries. We work together to set goals and work through your issues and needs to meet your desired goals. Clients can range from children as young as 3 all the way up to parents and grandparents that are wanting to live happier lives.

How did it come to this? There’s a distance growing in your marriage, but you’re the only one willing to admit it. You repeatedly try to talk about it with your husband, but every time you do, he becomes defensive or brushes you off. “Why can’t he just listen and try to understand how I feel?” You’re so frustrated you want to scream! It’s painful to feel like you’re the only one making any effort. Sometimes you wonder if it’d be easier to just give up on this relationship altogether. But you’re not ready to throw in the towel yet. You know things could be better if only you could start communicating again. But you don’t know how.
