UnitedHealthcare UHC | UBH Therapists in Addison, TX

Have you/your loved one experienced a medical event or new diagnosis? Are you having a difficult time adjusting? It is common to experience both physical and emotional struggles following stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, cancer diagnoses, dementia, and other illness onset. Often our roles within our family transition from caregiver to the one who needs to be cared for. Decreased independence and being more dependent on others often makes us feel like a burden. Fears related to these diagnoses can cause anxiety and depression. Role change may place stress on relationships and family dynamics.

The healthcare system is an area I excel in. Whether you are a healthcare professional, a caregiver or a patient managing a complex medical illness, I know the challenges that you face on a daily basis.

Are you overwhelmed? Is stress and worry impacting your life? How are you sleeping? Do past hurts, traumas, and broken relationships keep you woke at night? Are you misunderstood and judged, is your best not good enough? Do you long for relief from the pain of a broken heart? Well carrying the weight of unresolved issues has a negative impact on your present and your future. The hurt that's embedded deep in your heart may manifest in many ways such as anger, depression, isolation, anxiety, broken relationships, poor parenting, eating disorders, substance abuse, and much more. It's okay to seek help you're not weak; you're human.

The past few years have been difficult for so many of us... It seems like any issues we had prior to the pandemic were put on hold and we were then faced with a brand new set of overwhelming issues to cope with! Now that it seems we are beginning to return to some sense of normalcy, there's finally time to focus on personal growth and healing. We have all had unique journeys. Why did we experience certain things, what was their significance in our lives, and how can we process and use our experiences to continue to grow? My goal for all of my clients is that they feel heard, validated, and empowered to make necessary changes.

Are you, as an adult, feeling overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life? Do you find yourself struggling with trauma, anxiety, stress, or relational issues? As a parent, is your adolescent dealing with academic stress, peer pressure, self-esteem issues, or challenges in relationships? It is okay to ask for help. Taking the first step towards change is often the hardest. My purpose is to provide support and guidance to individuals on their journey towards healing, growth, and personal well-being.

I believe a strong relationship between the counselor and the client fosters an environment for positive change. A person’s faith is a foundational piece that aides in the healing of physical, mental and emotional issues or trauma. As we begin to delicately restructure each piece of your life, clients can begin their journey of self-exploration and work toward their desired change. Let me help you learn and develop meaningful ways to handle the issues that are standing in the way of your goals.

Are your problems holding you back from living the life you really want? Are there struggles that keep you from being fully yourself . . . from doing what you want to do in the world? I'm here to help you re-connect with who you truly are, who you're meant to be. I help adult individuals get back on their path so they can thrive and feel alive in connection with self, loved ones, community. We all carry a seed inside, the blueprint for who we're meant to be. We're constantly growing, but healthy growth gets distorted or thwarted by various obstacles: stress/anxiety, depression, trauma, difficult life events, transitions, loss . . .

Accepting new clients! Healing begins the moment you feel heard. Now more than ever, the world doesn’t make sense. My role is to listen, support, and collaborate with you as we identity how your strengths can increase wellness, empower change and overcome challenges from your past.

"Striving Toward Success" I believe that each person can be successful in any area of their life. I am a Master's level LPC-S licensed by the state of Texas.

I focus more on individual needs because I recognize that each person is unique. Give me a call and I will tell you more about the meaning of the word "Success".

We all encounter various life challenges; maybe at different stages or under different circumstances but none of us should have to endure them alone. Sometimes we may need short-term support and sometimes ongoing support. Whether you simply need to hit the "reset" button to get back on track or "pause" for time to sort everything out, working together we can create and implement a plan to help you safely reach your personal dreams, desires and destination at your pace.

When your anger starts creeping up more and more and/or your anxiety begins steadily whispering in your ear, it can quickly begin to feel overwhelming and like you don’t know where to start. Feelings like these can be difficult to work through alone, and even more so if you feel unprepared because you’re lacking practical coping skills. Please know that you don't have to navigate these issues alone. Together, we can work to uncover your primary concerns, begin identifying, challenging, and reframing your automatic negative thoughts, and learn practical strategies aimed at improving your quality of life.
