Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Texas

Hello! Welcome to the first step of therapy - reaching out for support. I am an experienced clinician with 20 years of service in the field. Throughout my career I have counseled children, adolescents, and adults from various backgrounds and cultures. I specialize in several areas including anxiety, depression, grief, stress, self-esteem, and relationship issues, amongst others. I use an eclectic blend of therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused treatment.

I just might be the therapist for you if you are someone who feels stuck in life, unable to be free of your unhappiness. If you have lost faith in your abilities, unsure of your purpose in life, or if you find yourself frozen in fear unable to move through your problems and make decisions. As your therapist, I will help you not to judge yourself for these problems, but to accept and learn skills to manage them. Whatever it is that keeps you from living your best life, I would like to share my knowledge and skills with you.

As a therapist with 25 years of experience and extensive training, I understand the complexities of suffering and the healing process. Professional peers have described me as "exceptionally attuned," "warmly down to earth" and "to the point." I offer a compassionate, accepting, and wise presence to the therapy relationship. Because this relationship is paramount to your therapy experience, I offer a free initial consultation so that we can meet. I believe that human beings have an amazing ability to gain insight and create change in their lives and am dedicated to this process for clients, myself and all beings.

I have two strong passions: helping others on their journey past their trauma and hardships to self-empowerment; and working with youth and their families to build healthy, loving, and lasting relationships free from generational traumas.

Therapy is a personal journey of healing and empowerment. My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that you are the expert of your own life.

I am committed to listening while understanding and respecting your unique experience. You will be in the driver's seat, making decisions that align with your values and aspirations. You can expect tailored therapy sessions to meet your unique needs and goals.

As your therapist, I WONT: Try to fix you, Give you advice, Tell you what to do, Pretend I know more about you than you do, Assume what is best for you, Have all the answers, or Make the hard stuff go away. But as your therapist, I WILL: Remind you that you are NOT broken, Give you room to access your own wisdom, Support you in figuring out what to do, Recognize that you are the expert on your own life, Remember that you have the power to know what is best for you, Honor that I don't know it all, and Collaborate with you on how to make the hard stuff easier to sit with.

I began my career working with at risk teens who struggled with substance use and had behavioral concerns as well as children and teens in foster care who experienced trauma and other mental health concerns.

I find that most children and teens I work with want to thrive and have better relationships and to feel confident in their abilities to be resilient.
