Relationship Issues Therapists in North Dallas, Dallas, TX

I work with adults over twenty-one. This includes individuals, couples, and families. Within those groups, I accept both long-term and short-term clients. My areas of specialty are depression/anxiety, relationship issues, parenting, geriatric issues, spirituality, and life transitions.

As a psychologist and Lacanian psychoanalyst, I believe that psychotherapy works best when you feel free to express and explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences-including the ones that feel difficult to put into words. Words have the power both to hurt and to heal. I am trained to listen and intervene in a way that can have many benefits, including relief from suffering and substantive, lasting changes such as personal growth, increased relationship satisfaction and life fulfillment, and an improved ability to work and succeed. I provide a comfortable, professional environment in which I aim to help you meet your goals.

You feel lost and broken. Even though you know the trauma happened in the past, it still doesn’t feel over. You try to ignore the pain so you can find peace in life and relationships. Yet vicious memories from the past keep creeping up again & again at unexpected moments. No matter how much you try to ignore them, they continue to haunt your present. The inner turmoil is exhausting- you keep being pulled back to the shadows; your body is overwhelmed by sensations that make no sense. Your heart aches with feelings no one understands. You feel alone and trapped. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Let's help you find freedom in that.

Healing is a journey that is unique to each person’s individual lived experiences. Maybe you've experienced discrimination, trauma, or unhealthy relationship patterns that cause you to feel disconnected, unsure about yourself or life trajectory, or develop unhealthy coping mechanisms. Maybe you're feeling stuck or wondering if healing is even possible. In therapy I provide a safe open space that allows for growth, exploration, and healing tailored to your individual needs.

I work with people struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and unhealthy relational patterns, helping them to identify and change the obstacles and patterns that are getting in their way. Clients often come in feeling like life is overwhelming and they are not managing work, school, friendships and relationships well, despite their best intentions and efforts. Often these patterns are so ingrained that we are not aware of another way of interacting or seeing our core beliefs. Therapy can increase insight and help to resolve and heal the underlying issues, creating the symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Are you looking to achieve real and lasting change in your personal life? Would you like to get the most out of your relationship - even save your marriage - but remain stuck in a cycle of conflict? Extensively trained and experienced in couples' work, my approach aims to repair attachment bonds; deepen intimacy; improve communication; and sets a course for authentic personal growth. Certified in Emotion-Focused Therapy, this empirically validated model is designed to significantly reduce distress and anxiety, resolve conflict, restore communication, repair emotional injuries, and deepen attachment bonds.

I am a strong believer in the impact that therapy can have on quality of life and your relationship with yourself. My focus includes creating a deep understanding of your childhood experiences and environments in order to better understand your worldview and the generational patterns embedded in your life. Working together, we can gain insight, empathy, and create better outcomes. I enjoy building up a sense of empowerment and resilience in my Clients, so that they are better able to identify obstacles, set goals, and create a sense of investment and accomplishment in their lives.

Are you overwhelmed by your stress, emotions, or current ways of thinking? Maybe you are struggling with anxiety, depression, a romantic or family relationship, decision, or difficult adjustment/transition period? Regardless of what you are facing, I work from a belief that all people have resiliency to face life's challenges-and my role is to help you find that strength within yourself. With every client, I am genuinely interested in learning more about you and how I can be most helpful-which means I will use an individualized/customized approach, as opposed to a "one-size fits all" treatment.

I'm currently accepting new clients for in person and virtual sessions! Hi, there, I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor seeing clients in person in Dallas and online across the state of Texas.

If you are considering therapy, maybe you feel lost, stuck, or alone. You might feel like you don't know how to move forward. If you're ready to gain new skills, develop a deeper understanding of yourself, and begin to heal, contact me today!

Struggling? You don't have to go alone...... Navigating life can sometimes lead us to feel disconnected from our close relationships, the people around us, or even ourselves. We may be sailing smoothly through life at times, and at others - the unexpected happens and we are not sure what to do, or how to recover. This can lead to a profound sense of loneliness, isolation, and disconnection. If you find yourself struggling or having difficulty finding meaning and purpose - you are not alone. To struggle is to be human, and I would be honored to help you uncover the answers you seek.

As a business owner and visionary entrepreneur myself, I understand the nuances and challenges involved in being a highly motivated, high performing creative and professional. Even the most successful performers struggle with anxiety, internal harshness, and the residual impact of earlier life relationships and experiences. As a certified Developmental and Relational Trauma Therapist, my aim is to help you cultivate a deep and healthy relationship to yourself so that you can engage in healthier relationships to your partner, others in your life, and even to your professional work.

A Certified Sex Therapist, I offer sexual and relationship solutions that work for you, including those that aren't about sex. I help you learn who you are, what you want, and how to communicate. I work with all sexual difficulties and dysfunctions, including low libido; desire discrepancies; erection, ejaculation, and orgasm difficulties; sexual pain; vaginismus; out of control sexual behavior, and fetishes. I work with married and unmarried couples and singles, as well as with straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, BDSM, and poly people. I will make suggestions and give you homework assignments to help you reach your goal.

There are many reasons why you might be searching for a therapist. You might find life overwhelming right now and need a place to process through the feelings of chaos. Maybe you are experiencing conflict in a meaningful relationship or in your own marriage. Perhaps you are in a place where you are ready to grow or find deeper connection. Setting aside time during your week to open yourself up to me is something I treat with great respect and confidentiality.

Counseling is supposed to be convenient, effective and helpful. Through evidenced based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and DBT, we are able to process trauma, explore and establish coping skills, and slowly but surely, start living again. I've worked in the nonprofit sector helping victims of domestic violence as well as other issues to include addiction, personality disorders, and family conflict. I work with the LGBTQ community and take pride in working with multicultural clients.

Are you feeling like something is “off”? Is the "committee" in your head so loud it is interfereing? Do you no longer enjoy the things you used to? Are you choosing to “numb out” your thoughts and feelings and engaging in unhealthy habits? Are you able to nurture your relationships, or are you neglecting to “feed” the relationship? These questions require us to take a deep, hard look into “self”, sometimes from a 20,000 feet above perspective. The idea of doing something different can be difficult, but change is necessary to facilitate growth. What is working for you and what can you change? Rearview mirror or forward focused?

My goal is to help those suffering from emotional or relationship problems, self-defeating patterns of behavior, and recurring periods of uncertainty or self-doubt. I also specialize in the treatment of treatment-resistant depression, anxiety-related disorders, personality disorders, and PMDD. My approach to therapy involves understanding how difficult experiences from our past can affect the way we feel and behave in the present. Our past experiences are often the reason we sometimes struggle with the same emotional and relationship problems throughout life. It is only through understanding our past struggles can we expect to achieve a lasting and meaningful change in the present.

I tend to provide a collaborative approach that is free of judgment and focused on providing my clients with the support and skills needed to face their life's current challenges. I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing difficulties with managing thoughts and emotions related to mood disorders, those who have experienced trauma or PTSD symptoms, have self-esteem issues, or are struggling with relationship issues. I attempt to facilitate procession opportunities, education, and coping skills that can help learn adaptive strategies to reduce symptoms, strengthen relationships, and improve quality of life.

I am a caring, trustworthy and direct straight-shooter. I'm passionate about helping couples and individuals achieve greater happiness and fulfillment. Are you in a relationship and still feel alone? Do you feel taken for granted by your spouse? Does it feel like your partner has stopped listening? Have you lost that special feeling, that connection, and can't seem to find it? Is your partner reluctant to come in counseling? Whether your relationship is old or new, I can help you learn how to communicate more effectively, heal pains and truly enjoy your journey together.

Your life is not supposed to be like this. Maybe you work late to avoid going home. Maybe you or your partner’s affair has put your relationship in crisis. Or maybe you are facing challenges at work. You care about your relationships and career, but you find yourself exhausted, angered too easily, tired of arguments that cannot be won, and devoid of patience.
