Couples Counseling Therapists in Irving, TX

When life gets overwhelming, who do you talk to? Really, truly talk to? Is there a space where you can speak freely about your anxieties, life stressors, and your innermost thoughts and feelings? A place where you can celebrate big moments while also processing letdowns? A place where you can share anything without fear of judgment? If the answer to any of these questions is “no,” then I would love to talk with you about counseling. There is something enormously freeing about having a person and a place to share the things that tie up your mind and tangle your heart.

If you are struggling with change or a life transition, I am here to help. Change can be disruptive, stressful, and demanding. It interrupts our accustomed way of life and compels us to adjust to new, stressful, unfamiliar experiences. The uncertainty of change can leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and distressed. My expertise and passion are in helping clients manage stress and anxiety triggered by life changes and transitions. I assist adolescents, young adults, couples , and families in developing coping strategies and skills to manage difficult life transitions.

No matter who we are, our relationships influence and mold our experience of life. We all have a desire to create and maintain deep connections to our families, spouse , children, and friends that help sustain us during our challenges and storms and lift us higher during the joys and peaks. For most of us, though, that process is difficult and not without pitfalls. As a marriage and family therapist, I keep in mind the importance of relationships and how they affect and shape all of us. This knowledge allows me to walk alongside and guide my clients in their journeys towards wholeness of self and wholeness of their relationships.

I am a sexual health practitioner focused on dynamic coaching, surrogate partner therapy and neuroscience. I specialize in the rehabilitation of the sexual system (mind and body) in a sex positive environment. My clients are of any sex orientation/identity. My practice is action-based (I call it "Do-Therapy" or "Play Therapy"). My clients are seeking solutions for: performance anxiety, premature ejaculation (PE), erectile dysfunction (ED), delayed or lack of ejaculation (DE), low sexual desire, painful sex/pelvic pain, orgasmic disorders, mismatched libidos; sexual inexperience, understanding their sexuality and late life virginity.

Professionals face a unique set of challenges. We're expected to manage many roles, and perform them well and without complaining. Many of us do a wonderful job anticipating the needs and wishes of others, but this commonly comes at the sacrifice of our own needs, goals and dreams. If you're feeling sad, anxious, dissatisfied, irritable, angry, empty or exhausted, chances are you're being presented with an opportunity to learn about your true self. It's never too late to develop and implement your own dreams. Counseling can help determine the source of difficulties you're experiencing. NOW OFFERING TELEHEALTH ONLY!!!

Psychotherapy and assessment can help you discover more about yourself, navigate current conflicts, and come to better understand old patterns of thinking, feeling, and interacting with others. Therapy can help you develop new perspectives and skills that better fit the person you are now and the direction you want to take. I will be there to help you learn to use these tools to manage difficult times and make meaningful transitions.

Using my background in both neuroscience research and clinical psychology, my goal is to assist you with your journey towards achieving insight, balance, purpose, and joy in life.

I believe that regardless of where you've been, what you've done, or where you are now, you inherently have value and worth. My mission is to help you see your inherent worth, and to journey along a path in which we can discover the authentic you. My speciality is young adults who are survivors of trauma including, but not limited to, childhood abuse and neglect and sexual abuse. Ultimately, I believe the relationship between therapist and client is the most important thing, so I work to tailor my approach in a way that is unique and best fits each individual client.
