Sleep or Insomnia Therapists in 75080

I work with adults 21 years of age and up on a variety of psychological issues. My goal is to partner with my clients in their process of healing, growth and change. I believe in treating the whole person, addressing the emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of each person. My therapy approach is cognitive-behavioral, systematic, and insight oriented.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in private practice. I am also a Licensed Counselor Supervisor and Registered Play Therapy Supervisor. I earned my Masters of Science degree at the University of North Texas, and received advanced training in Play Therapy, Expressive Arts and Filial Therapy. I have more than 18 years of experience working with children and families. I specialize in working with Preschool age children and their parents to address concerns regarding emotional and social development and behavioral issues while enhancing the parent-child relationship. I am also passionate about working with pre-adolescents and adolescents. Counseling in adolescence is beneficial to facilitate healthy coping skills and self-expression. I also specialize in addressing the psycho-therapeutic needs of individuals with eating disorders, women with postpartum depression, and families who have experienced the death of a loved one.

Are your health issues overwhelming your life? Living with chronic medical issues like pain can be isolating, frightening, and dejecting. As a health psychologist, I offer hope, knowledge, and support to individuals struggling with complex challenges. Every day, scientific advancements illuminate the integral relationship between mind and body. Effective treatment of one requires caring for both. In working with me, you can expect kindness, humor, acceptance, and a lot of mixed metaphors. I hope that, through our work together, you can find sources of light on your darkest days.

Nothing in life is one size fits all; therapy is no exception. My first priority is to establish a trusting relationship with you, then together create goals tailored to your individual needs. As humans, we tend to shy away from uncomfortable, unwanted, or overwhelming feelings/thoughts. We all develop habits to cope; sometimes those habits may no longer be helpful. In a non-judgmental and safe environment, we will work together, unlock your potential and create the change you desire. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor and fully trained in EMDR in Texas.

I offer neuropsychological evaluation and therapy utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy with my clients that are faced with challenges of mood disorders, neurocognitive/developmental disorders, and pain related disorders. As well, I perform assessments for those with mild brain injury, aging related disorders, ADHD (adults), and those that need an evaluation prior to an upcoming surgical procedure.

Are you feeling stuck and overwhelmed right now? Could you really use more positive support to help empower you to create the fulfilling life you deserve? With over 25 years of experience, I continue to be passionate about helping my clients to accomplish just that! I utilize a Cognitive Behavioral approach and my therapeutic environment is a safe and accepting space filled with curiosity, humor and compassion. With my extensive experience and training, you can trust that you are in the rights hands from the get-go. Be ready to learn how to overcome what's holding you back so you are able to reach all of your goals ASAP!

I believe we're shaped by biological (heredity, diet, hormones), psychosocial (peers, family, job stress), and psychological influences (thoughts, self-esteem, perfectionism). Addressing the mind-body interaction is critical. I guide and teach, helping clients learn new skills such as meditation and meridian tapping to handle life stresses. Clients who best fit my style wish to let go of negative patterns of self-doubt, guilt, worry, and feeling "never good enough." My therapy focus is here-and-now, focusing on mind-body habits, to develop new behaviors, recondition brain connections, to go beyond mere understanding or insight.

I am a licensed psychologist who is passionate about providing high-quality, effective, evidence-based treatment with children, adolescents, and adults in the Dallas Metroplex area. I help teach Dialectical Behavioral Skills and tools that minimize emotional distress, impulsivity, and high risk behaviors. I believe strongly in working together with parents and families to strengthen communication and decrease conflict. My primary goal is to instill hope, balance, and healing that increase you or your child's quality of life.

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!

I am passionate about creating an environment where one feels comfortable and safe. My clients would describe me as patient, competent, goal driven, and honest. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of experience, I'm committed to challenging you to be honest with yourself while making progress each day towards our long-term goals. It is important to me to empower my clients to be their own agents of change as well as be an anchor for themselves when presented with difficulties in life.

Life has a way of putting us in boxes and layering expectations on every facet of our identity. It’s tiring, it’s overwhelming, and it limits the joy we find in our day to day. You don’t have to subscribe to these roles that blunt you, though! The perfectionism, anxiety, depression and imposter syndrome don’t have to define you and you definitely don’t have to dismantle it alone. You’ll lead me through a trail that you’ve walked before and I’ll point out the landmarks that you’ve become numb to. I’ll point out new paths you could take, but you always have control in deciding whether you try a new way or not.

I'm so glad you stopped by! I am a solution focused, person-centered, EMDR trained counselor who offers a wide variety of approaches. Counseling should never be a "one size fits all" solution. Working with me is a journey into mindfulness, self-awareness, and personal growth. My office is a safe space, and I would be delighted to see you there. I provide Telehealth to the entire state of Texas, and in-person counseling to Collin and Dallas counties. I also provide Supervision to LPC-Associates. I have an easily accessible and comfortable private office situated on 190 between Hwy 75 and the Dallas North Tollway.

There are so many reasons that someone walks into my office- and every single one is valid and important. If you are struggling to process a past or recent trauma, finding yourself in a battle with your internal critic, or struggling to be your most authentic self due to fear or shame, you have come to the right place. I know it isn't easy to open up about your experiences, those well-guarded thoughts or feelings, and I will honor that.

I believe in Temple Grandin's declaration, "I am different, not less." As a Certified Autism Specialist, I enjoy working with those who are neurodivergent thinkers, have Autism, ADHD, OCD, PDD, or learning differences, or who share traits with neurodivergent thinkers. My Texas-based therapy practice aims for you to feel supported, respected, and guided to find wellness and growth in your life. Are you wanting to improve your relationships, or share with others your truest self? I'd love to help. In addition to in-person, you can meet with me via telehealth throughout the states of Texas and Minnesota.

I believe every person has a unique way of looking at the world, and sometimes we all need a little help finding a common language to connect with others. We all strive for something, and my goal as a counselor is to help you figure out what is working for you and replace what no longer serves you. Although I can provide resources and a new perspective, I believe you are the expert on your own story. I tailor my treatment style to your individual needs and aim to populate your coping skills "toolbox" with the tools that work best for you as we work toward your goals.

I provide client-centered and evidenced-based counseling and psychotherapy to individuals struggling with various life stressors, self-esteem, anxiety, depression and post-trauma stress. I also specialize in working with clients with acquired brain injuries (i.e. stroke and TBI), dementia, as well as individuals with chronic illnesses.
