Therapists in Little Elm, TX

I am a licensed clinician who has experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, OCD, and bipolar. I believe that from our birth we begin building an image of who we are, how relationships should function, and how the world works around us. For many of us, adverse experiences in life can lead to difficulty managing stress or daily functioning as we get older. We may need help processing our lived experiences and understanding how they have effected our decision making and the struggles we face today. I believe that, by focusing on the present and applying the past, we can discover both our goals and our strengths.

Anxiety, depression, and personal conflict are not always signs of illness, neurosis, or flaws of development, or character. Many times healthy individuals find themselves in internal struggles that are related to important growth points in their lives. These are periods of potential growth based in crises of values, spirituality, and expansion of self. Such crises are reflected in questions of a deeper, spiritual, or existential nature which the individual is asking, or in general non-specific feelings of unease, dissatisfaction, or depression. If you feel you are facing such struggles, then I may be able to help you.

I offer online/virtual therapy to anyone in the state of Texas. You can expect a warm, collaborative approach that is tailored to your specific needs & values your autonomy. My down-to-earth style combines practical evidence-based strategies to address current symptoms along with diving deep into the origin of your struggles to increase insight. Together, we will create an environment of mutual trust, respect, & safety that honors the complexity of your unique experience. I firmly believe that if we can be authentic with ourselves & others, we inspire people to share their authentic selves with us & create genuine connection.

I view my role as someone who provides a safe environment where clients can learn more about themselves and process without fear of judgement.

I believe that good therapy is a collaborative process, and I feel honored when clients allow me to help them work through difficult emotions and process traumatic experiences.

You've been struggling for some time with being all alone in the world. You constantly have nagging worries that you will never find happiness or fulfillment. None of your friends understand what you are going through. It is so difficult to believe that things will ever get better. Close partners in your life abandoned you when you needed them the most. You try to move on, but you catch yourself thinking things like, “Am I attractive?” “Why don’t I feel good enough?” "What if I spend the rest of my life alone?" "What if I really am a failure?" The truth is, you deserve to live a life free of worry and fear. You deserve to thrive.

This is always the hard part, finding a counselor that feels right for you, and the initial discomfort in meeting them for the first time. I will endeavor to make this part as seamless as possible while striving to see the world through your eyes. We often have the idea that if we don't solve our problems alone we have somehow failed. I believe that we can thrive when we are able to discuss our problems with someone we trust. My hope is that I can provide a space where you feel comfortable discussing your concerns. You've come this far, all that's left is to take those first few, difficult steps.
