Family Therapy in Arlington, TX

I am passionate about partnering with clients as they navigate life’s challenges to help them achieve peace and fulfillment in their lives. Together, we will work to get to the root of your struggles and create strategies that will be useful throughout your life. My goal is to empower you to be the author of your story, and to find the strength and resilience that you possess. I enjoy working with children, teens and parents to overcome past traumas and present challenges, and work towards healing for the individual and the family.

In my life, hope is not an end but a beginning. I have the power of choice. Fueled by hope, which is the belief that things will get better, I decided to focus on doing what it took to change my life. My road to hope helped me see and pursue solutions that were hidden behind a thick fog of despair due to growing up in a dysfunctional home. One thing I tell others is “you cannot give to others what you haven’t been taught”. My parents lack the hope to break the cycle of dysfunction of their past family upbringing. I believe my parents forgot they had a choice to change things.

Life can be tough, with it's many challenges, distractions, and unpredictable tragedies and disappointments. Fortunately, you don't have to face them alone. I believe that through strategic planning, new learned coping skills, and spiritual guidance, personal and relational healing is possible. I love working with couples, but believe that even one person can make a difference in the condition of a relationship as they learn better ways to communicate and deal with their own issues.

Howdy! The techniques I utilize are from the foundations of Person Centered and Solution Focused Theory with some art therapy mixed in (if you are comfortable with experimenting with creative therapy). To begin, we will discuss what goals you would like to accomplish during our time together. My philosophy of therapy is, I feel you are the authority in your life and therapy can be a catalyst to identify barriers keeping you from achieving goals. We join together as a team to process, help identify goals, and strategize in making the positive change you would like to see in your life.

You may often find yourself wondering, why am I like this? You react to things in a way that you wish were different. You’re aware that the way you think/feel is irrational, but you can’t seem to change it. You feel stuck & are seeking to understand yourself better. Many of us come from difficult families - which is our first experience about the world, often setting the standard for what is "normal" to us. If you come from a family with a history of unhealthy patterns, it is likely that you are struggling as you enter adulthood. Common patterns include absent parents, unstable relationships, emotional/physical abuse, or addiction.

It is my goal to provide a positive therapeutic relationship with my clients who are seeking to make positive changes in their lives. As a Doctor of Marriage and Family Therapy, Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor and Certified School Counselor, I am extensively trained in a variety of therapeutic techniques, however the most important aspect of my practice is building positive and respectful relationships with my clients.

Does your child or teen struggle behaviorally or to regulate their emotions? Do you at times feel like they are bouncing off the walls and unable to maintain focus? Have you gotten a phone call home from school about concerns related to your child? Maybe you have noticed an increase in anxiety or depression. Or their social skills are limiting their friendships creating a negative school experience. Being a child and teen in our day and age can be extremely challenging as they face heightened emotions, social media expectations, academic challenges, sports pressures and more.

Life is all about perspective. The ability to change one's perspective can change and impact your life. The old adage is, "Perception is reality", which I believe rings true in so many situations in life. Consider changing the perspective of your perception and what difference that could make? Perspective Counseling and Family Services was established on the motto, "Perspective changes Everything!" Life changes in unexpected and fleeting moments. Often times these transitions are difficult to manage. Allow Perspective Counseling and Family Services to help you gain perspective and regain control over your life!

As a dedicated elementary teacher I noticed many families with unmet mental health needs. As I observed their struggles, my zeal for instruction adapted from the classroom to the therapy office.

Please note: I am not currently accepting BC/BS for marital therapy. Sometimes it feels really hard to communicate with your spouse. What used to be small problems start to feel too hard to fix. The bigger problems become issues that just seem easier to avoid altogether. Other times, it feels like you don’t enjoy the same activities anymore. You can spend time together in the same house all week and feel more like roommates than lovers. You might be good at running a household together, but wonder where the friendship has gone.
