Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in Dallas, TX

Hello. As a therapist practicing for over 15 years I consider it an honor to walk beside my clients as they approach their struggles. Life is hard. It's sad, lonely, aggravating and completely relentless sometimes. We all need a nonjudgmental ear to aid in our own understanding of what might have us seemingly stuck.

Greetings! As a licensed professional counselor, I view therapy as a collaborative journey. Our sessions will be a space for open dialogue, reflection, and gaining insight into the roots of your thoughts and feelings. Together, we will work towards creating lasting change and building a foundation for a more fulfilling life. I bring a wealth of expertise in psychodynamic psychotherapy to my practice, rooted in the belief that our past experiences influence our present emotions and behaviors.

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.

I find it especially rewarding working with grieving clients, those suffering from chronic & terminal illness, men's issues, and helping men & women heal from emotional, physical & sexual abuse.

I am passionate about my clients and believe in the therapeutic process. If my client is ready, willing, and committed, change is possible! Successful treatment is achieved through mutual trust and respect cultivated in a safe, kind, judgment-free space.

I work with individuals and couples with complex trauma, relationship concerns, grief, life transitions, and anything that makes them feel stuck. Distressing emotions may emphasize this stuckness, and we will work together to peel back habits it may lead to, such as numbing, avoidance, people-pleasing, or trauma responses like fight/flight.

I work with adult couples and individuals struggling with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, codependency, anger management, and more. More often than not, the underlying cause of the problem is an unhealthy pattern of behaviors or thought which keeps us stuck in exactly the situation we are trying to avoid. In order to find a way forward we first have to recognize the unhealthy patterns we are stuck in and the steps we need to take to get out of them. There are many ways to do this, and I am very comfortable tailoring my approach to individual clients to help them get the best results possible.

Coming to therapy requires courage, and I offer an empathic and supportive space where patients can feel understood, valued, and accepted as they are. I approach therapy through an important lens: that lasting change and healing comes from understanding the present-day impact of one’s past experiences and relationships, most importantly with oneself. Whether you are hoping to better manage stress and anxiety, navigate a challenging time in your life, strengthen your relationships, let go of feelings of insecurity, or improve your overall wellbeing, I can help.
