EMDR Therapists in 75040

I am truly honored when chosen to be someone's therapist. This is a hard decision to make and one that is not always easy. I have had the privilege to work with individual clients ages 12 to 80 years old. I enjoy helping teen clients navigate uncharted middle and high school territories and beyond. I also really love to work with adults in transition and those who are navigating through big decisions that can create anxiety. I have worked with female clients wading through the deep waters of depression and childhood trauma. I am also looking to work with older individuals 60 and up and how to help them with grief and medical trauma.

Facing the decision to seek help for a substance use disorder (SUD) can be one of the most fearful places a person visits. My passion is helping individuals/families walk through this dark period. During my 10+ years of clinical practice, I have helped numerous individuals/families achieve their goal of sobriety and recovery. Through my experience, I quickly develop rapport, provide support and compassion, and assist individuals/families to understand root causes that lead to substance misuse. Please reach out if you're thinking you need help! I diligently work to see any/all clients who reach out, in-person or via telehealth.

Are you having feelings of uncertainty, fear, and emotional isolation? There is not need to do this alone. We are dedicated to providing support to the community during this time by encouraging, strategizing, and educating. By using a secure video chat, we are ensuring people are not experiencing lapses in care and have access to the help they deserve and need.

If you or your child are experiencing loneliness, feelings of being overwhelmed, having trouble in relationships, trauma or self-doubt, then seeking support is a vital step in discovering peace. My goal is to help you explore, heal, strengthen, and connect the pieces of your life. My therapeutic style begins by creating a safe and comfortable environment where you are heard and valued. Success comes from exploring and evaluating one’s unique thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while applying practical strategies that bring positive and lasting change.

I have a Master of Arts in Counseling and have been counseling adults, children, teens, and families since 2008. Working with clients struggling with anxiety and grief and loss is a special interest of mine, but I have experience treating a wide variety of issues including depression, adjustment, self-esteem issues, crisis, domestic violence, abuse, and trauma. I am Certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR). I am also an EMDR Consultant-in-Training (EMDRIA).

Do you feel stuck? Anxious, depressed, or fearful of the future? Trauma leaves a mark on your mind, body, and soul. It can leave you frozen, feeling anxious and depressed, affecting your relationships, taking away your sense of security, and causing you to lose hope. It could even lead to the use of drugs and alcohol to cope with the emotional pain and traumatic memories. But healing is possible! You can have the life filled with peace and joy that you've always wanted.

Most people work very hard on managing their personal lives and relationships, academic, or professional pursuits, and their various goals and interests. However, often things don’t go as planned, and we are faced with very challenging, even painful situations, and we could benefit from receiving additional support. Seeking help and support is a strength and an important step to change and growth. I believe that therapy should be highly collaborative, where we work together to evaluate life experiences, relationships, strengths, and areas you wish to develop.

Do you feel like you deserve more from life but not sure what is or how to get it? Tired of being stuck in the past and ready to move forward? Is lack of confidence holding you back? You want to know what healing feels like because you've experienced so much pain. Only you can give yourself permission to live the life you want. You don't have to continue to wonder "why me". We work with clients in a transformational manner to restructure those negative thoughts and behaviors which creates confidence, self-reassurance, self-awareness, and control over one's own life.

Sometimes life can get in the way of truly living, and I will meet you where you are and help you get to where you want to be. I am passionate about using a variety of approaches and methods to provide culturally responsive and holistic care that is tailored to meet the individual needs of each client. I understand the power of lived experience and am committed to creating a welcoming space for all clients to access the support they need, especially those who may not have one.

I firmly believe in the power of personal connection. I understand that each individual is unique, with their own set of experiences, struggles, and aspirations. It is through fostering a genuine and empathetic relationship that I can truly help my clients navigate their challenges. In today's fast-paced world, where technology often replaces face-to-face interactions, personal connection has become more crucial than ever. I prioritize creating a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can freely express themselves.

You deserve an expansive and liberated life. Many of my clients are exploring what it means to be their most authentic self, and how to deal with the barriers that stand in their way. They're looking for a place to be seen and understood, and to be able to let down their guard. I see clients who are navigating identity, sexuality, and belonging; those with trauma histories, anxiety, and depression, looking for relief and a deeper healing that takes them to a place of ease and fulfillment. They may have tried other solutions, but feel stuck and eager for a lasting and meaningful change.
