Therapists in Richardson, TX

Is anxiety holding you back? Do you feel tortured trying to escape your fears or your thoughts? Are worries and self-criticisms leaving you feeling exhausted, disconnected, and missing out on what once mattered most to you? I understand this struggle. My work focuses on helping individuals learn the skills to take back their life. But I believe in going beyond just treating the symptoms on the surface - I want to help you get back in touch with what is truly meaningful and important in your life, and to be the best and most authentic version of you. Anxiety can be a barrier, let's work together and learn to overcome that barrier.

I became a psychologist because I have always been interested in people: how they feel, why they do what they do. I believe that individuals are capable of learning, growing, and improving their lives, and I want to help them do that. So, if you're feeling down, stressed, overwhelmed...I am here to listen. I want to help you learn new skills that will enable you to feel and function better at home, work, and in your relationships. I am a licensed psychologist, specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for individuals experiencing depression and anxiety.

I have years of experience, training, and research in understanding the ways repeated trauma, doubt, and dissociation affect an individual at the core of their identity. My approach is an inquisitive and engaging attempt at identifying the symptoms that make it hard for individuals to connect with themselves.

Healing and growth are a collaborative process. Jenna has a heart and passion for walking with people from a place of hurting to a place of healing, from a place of stagnation to flourishing. She’s a coach, counselor, and consultant that is passionate about building exponential healing systems by disrupting the things that disrupt you. A relationship-informed trauma expert and a trauma-informed relationship and sex expert. At the intersection of these, she’s learned that most forward movement comes from unlearning and then relearning.

At times, everyone feels overwhelmed by stressors, life transitions, grief or anger. Change and healing doesn't happen in isolation and we all need help at some point. My clients range from 10 yrs old and up. My approach is strongly grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT). Clients are encouraged to identify what’s important to them and learn ways to move toward their values. Addressing how thoughts drive feelings and behavior and creating new ways to relate with our thoughts and feelings. I'm always amazed and privileged when clients report that a different perspective has greatly altered their lives for the better, especially in the midst of tremendous life stressors. My approach alligns evidenced based research with each individual's goals to improve both emotional well being and connections.

Life is difficult... for us all, but there are times it seems especially hard to know how to face life's challenges. I am here to help you find a way through the challenges and to grow in the process.

I know we never stop needing help and our ability to be resilient and navigate life depends on getting the quality help we all need. Let me walk with you and be a guide as you face this journey.

After 15+ years of practice and training other therapists, I have learned working with someone who “gets” you can be nurturing and healing. I believe this happens when the therapist brings their personal authenticity to your session, and research tells us this is one of the most critical elements in therapy. Listening deeply, asking the right questions, and providing honest and helpful feedback tailored to your personality are the other skills that complete the picture. It is my passion to help people to change painful patterns, to heal, to become whole, and to find their life’s joy and fulfillment.

We all face challenging and overwhelming times in our lives. These include realizing we are unhappy with life as it is, the concern we'll never be able to live the life we want in order to be happy, stress, grief and loss, unresolved trauma, as well as other issues. I strongly believe that it is not what is wrong with us, it is what happened to us that creates the struggles we have. I use an eclectic, integrated approach to treatment that fits the unique needs of each client. I offer a safe, supportive environment and consider it an honor to work with clients toward healing and achieving the changes they want to make.

Healing and making life changes is what therapy is all about. I work with adolescents and adults using approaches encompassing spiritual, cognitive, behavioral, insight, and EMDR to make this happen. EMDR is a physiologically based method of therapy I use with many clients who have post traumatic stress, disturbing memories, anxiety and/or a history of abuse. This ranges from trauma experienced by veterans of wars, crime, and natural disasters to childhood emotional and physical abuse to varying degrees. Together we will match your therapy needs with the optimum approach for your healing and facilitation of change.

Helping clients find their authentic self is my passion. Trauma, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, depression and more can cause people to lose themself. Finding ways to cope with and free themselves from negative thoughts, fears, pain and trauma through useful tools, self-talk, and changing thought patterns is vital for my clients. As we walk through the pains, struggles and frustrations of life, my clients are able to see themselves for who they are and who they want to be. Freedom, peace, self-confidence and joy are found.

My ideal client is ready to change, and needs a supportive cheerleader who celebrates who they are while being patient enough to walk with them through the ups and downs of life. They need a therapist who is willing to create a safe space for them to practice and grow in vulnerability.

I love counseling and love working with adults, couples, children, adolescents, and families.

Some days life is great, others we get bogged down in our busyness, work stress, family conflicts, school pressures and well, just drama. Coping some days is easy - others, it's tough just to get out of bed. Whether you just need a sounding board, struggle with anxiety/depression, have a history of trauma or you're not sure why life is tough, there is help. I seek to create an open, accepting environment to listen. I offer treatment options that bring health and wholeness. My goal is to create safe space for you to achieve yours.
