Therapists in Grandview, TX

My areas of specialty include first responder PTSD, substance abuse, trauma, anxiety/depression, relationship discord, and mindfulness. I am EMDR trained and have extensive experience utilizing EMDR to resolve trauma associated with first responder experiences, accidents, grief/loss, military combat, childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, and more. My work, as well as my personal life, is grounded in mindfulness. When we train our attention to stay in the present moment, we become much more aware of the stories we tell ourselves and how much suffering we experience as a result.

I have enjoyed working collaboratively with clients addressing a wide variety of life’s challenges via change and growth. My client's and I seek to identify barriers, needs and skills essential to transcending life's obstacles. I understand that discussing personal matters can be very uncomfortable however clients have found I take great care and consideration when exploring their challenges. I do my utmost to provide you with evidence-based, and individualized treatment in a relaxed, nonjudgmental environment.

You're not a cookie, and I am not a cookie-cutter therapist. Every person is unique, and my counseling approach is very much tailored to your specific needs. For most people, counseling may be a last resort, one final effort after they’ve tried everything else. Some worry that seeking therapy means they’ve failed; and for others, the idea of therapy is just plain scary or not the way they were “taught to deal with things”. Even so, the fact that you’re reading this means you want to take back control and begin creating the life you really want. Well, you’ve come to the right place!

Have you had a situation happen that has caused deep emotional or physical pain? Has the pain been pushing you to the breaking point? Pain can come in many forms both emotional and physical and the strategies we use to deal with it often make the problem worse rather than better. Are you unsure what to do or where to go? Is your desire to get out of the pain but you are afraid that it can't get better? I can tell you from experience that ignoring it doesn't help but I do know that there are lots of strategies to get through it. I’d like the opportunity to show you how to turn your breakdown into a BREAKTHROUGH!

I view therapy as a collaborative partnership to help promote you to the version of yourself that you wish to embody, while healing wounds along the way. I’m supportive yet direct and consistent in the work that we do. Together, we'll take an integrative and holistic approach to mental wellness to help you uncover what's holding you back, deepen your compassion for yourself, and take steps toward living in ine with your values and goals. I respect therapy as a personal journey of self discovery and growth, however it may unfold for you. I also work with a team of practitioners with other therapy specialities in Fort Worth.
