Relationship Issues Therapists in M Streets, Dallas, TX

Are you hard-working and conscientious, yet find yourself constantly judging or questioning yourself? Perhaps despite your efforts to feel more love or connection, you often feel alone or resentful in your relationships. I provide a compassionate space where we can explore your circumstances and work toward more inner security and connection. I am trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a gentle yet powerful approach that accesses your inner resources to help release wounds of the past that hold you back, and develop the clarity and confidence to live a life more closely aligned with your authentic self.

If we are being honest, change can be a scary thing to approach. Yet I would argue that we all have areas of our lives that we would like to change or improve. Sometimes we simply want to understand ourselves better, sometimes we want to improve our relationships, and still other times we have serious concerns with our mood, anxiety, or current behavioral patterns. I use a personable, relatable approach to therapy to assist in navigating some of the discomfort inherent in the therapeutic process. This is a place of non-judgement, and I am open and accepting of all persons and identities.

Do you often find that you compare yourself to others? Do you want to stop unhealthy behaviors but have a hard time making change? Do you find yourself stuck in a cycle of unhealthy relationships, but you're not sure what to do about it? Maybe you struggle with setting and keeping boundaries with yourself and others. We all have limits in relationships that help us feel safe and connected, although sometimes it's hard to assert them. Many of us have been "trained" to ignore our own needs. What would it be like to work on making decisions in your life that truly benefit you and allow you to have healthier connections?

Few things are as miserable as damaged trust in a relationship. This takes many forms. You’re mad, hurt, and don’t know if you want to stay or not. When you’ve done things you regret, you feel lost, guilty, confused, and conflicted. When it is you that has been emotionally hurt, you feel betrayed and now your safe place is gone. Frequent ugly fights leave you resentful and walking on eggshells, waiting for one to crack. Your person is openly and publicly disinterested, critical, or unsupportive. Then there is infidelity, which feels like a bomb exploded in your life, and now you are living a 24/7 bad dream.

I am experienced in working with adults and adolescents struggling with anxiety in its many flavors and forms.

I like to work with my clients on a customized approach to their individual fears based on their unique goals and personal values. Creativity is a big part of my approach.

I am passionate about helping clients find the awareness, insight, and resilience they need to overcome challenges and live a joyful, meaningful, and fulfilling life.

Clients describe me as calm, caring, and understanding. My goal is to offer fresh perspectives to those seeking change along with the collaboration, skills, and tools needed to create a path forward.

Most often I work with young adults dealing with anxiety, relationship issues, post break- up recovery, family of origin issues, identity struggles, and indecision. I also work with couples to seek a healthier and more fulfilling relationship, through pre-engagement, premarital, and marriage counseling.
