Biofeedback Therapists in Arlington, TX

My practice is geared towards providing counseling services to young children (with a focus on age 2-4), as well as clients recovering from issues related to COMPLEX trauma. (See www.nctsn.org/what-is-child-trauma/trauma-types/complex-trauma). I am a Registered Play Therapist and a Certified Animal-Assisted Play Therapist (accompanied by a therapy dog and a therapy cat.) I am trained in SMART (Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Therapy), developed for children with complex trauma, and I am provisionally certified as a Drumbeat facilitator.

Are you tired of feeling hopeless or anxious over something that feels out of your control, but trying to fool yourself into thinking you’re fine? Like you reliving a traumatic event but want to be able to breathe again? I'm here to be a sounding board for you in the ups and downs. I would love to work with you on creating your own treatment plan; we can pull from different therapy approaches to be custom made in assisting you in your healing from your struggles.

Life is tough. There is no way around it. Everyone has issues that they can't deal with alone and every situation is unique to you. Your relationship could be insecure with your spouse, parent, child. You could be suffering from an explosive event in your life and be struggling with PTSD. You lost a loved one three years ago and still cannot seem to get past their absence. You are feeling a lack of control and your boundaries are consistently crossed. I know life is tough, but it can be better.

Sometimes we have a clear view of the problem and other times we only know that something just does not feel right. My goal is to help your child unravel issues and confusing emotions to move towards healing. I will work with you as the parent during your child's treatment process to provide you with tools to utilize at home. I am a highly experienced therapist who specializes in working with parents, teens, and tweens.

It’s shocking how many people believe that suffering is normal. They muddle through life doing the very best they can, putting out crisis after crisis, not even recognizing that there’s a better way. It's impossible to get a handle on things when you feel like the world is on fire. You're panicked, you're depressed, relationships suffer, work suffers, your relationship with yourself suffers- there isn't a piece of your life it doesn't touch. Every ounce of energy you have goes to trying to keep it all from collapsing. IF you sleep, you wake up and you start again- doing it all over the next day. This isn't life, this is survival.

Are you looking for a psychological/neuropsychological evaluation and/or a medication free treatment for attention, sleep, migraine, anxiety, depression, stress, PTSD, headache, or traumatic brain injury problems? Are you a struggling learner seeking ways to improve performance at school, sports or work? Do you have a history of autism spectrum, ADD/ADHD, fetal alcohol syndrome, language and communication problems, Down’s Syndrome, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, concussion, stroke, memory difficulties, chronic illness, motor and balance coordination, developmental delay, Parkinson’s, or multiple sclerosis?

I walk beside adults and parents who are struggling with feeling alone, anxious, overwhelmed and overstimulated in effort to catalyze lasting mental and physical fortitude. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), an avid neurobiology nerd, an anti-inflammatory and active lifestyle enthusiast, and a passionate advocate for merging mind, body and soul in a holistic approach to therapy.  At times, it can seem as though we have tried everything, and yet nothing seems to help.  This is my very favorite part; where I get to meet you, breathe with you, and walk with you as we find hope again.
