EMDR Therapists in Dallas, TX

Trauma of any amount greatly impacts our development and ability to thrive. Creating issues within the family system, depression, anxiety, and feelings of hopelessness. My practice holds space to heal and enable growth to cope with these symptoms.

My mission is to empower others by helping them find their voice and supporting them on their journey to find freedom through therapy. I place great value on the uniqueness of each client I serve. I understand that each one is the true expert of their own story and circumstances. I’m originally from San Antonio. My cultural experience is rooted in being a BIPOC woman and being immersed in Hispanic cultural experiences and enmeshed in military traditions. I confidently navigate through cultural contexts with the LGBTQ community, military families, various religious affiliations, and other marginalized minority groups.

All we have to be in the world is kind and brave. Really. And I believe you can do that. Have you ever felt like you were walking on eggshells in your relationship? Do you feel like no matter what you do it is wrong from your partner's perspective? You shouldn't have to feel like this in your relationship. No one should have to feel afraid of the person they love. If you have begun to feel down on yourself because of the way your partner treats you, I would love to help you grow in understanding of present dynamics and experience relief so that you can move forward with confidence.

I specialize in supporting trauma healing. Many of my clients are in relationships - they have young children, or are thinking of having children and they want to heal from ways they have been hurt in order to be more present and loving with the people in their lives. I'm trained in EMDR, SSP, and Mindfulness. Through talk therapy we gain insight into the way our past informs our present. Through these other modalities we are able to begin to shift the beliefs we have about ourselves, and the way our nervous system responds to stress.

My clients would describe me as competent, easy to talk to and compassionate. I am passionate about creating an environment where you can feel safe and heard. Carl Rogers once said, “We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. Yet listening, of this very special kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know.” I believe that therapeutic work is most helpful when you can sense that you are working with a therapist who genuinely cares and will listen. From that foundation, there will also be space for you to reflect and receive insight that will aid in meeting your goals.

If you’re feeling isolated, anxious, or stressed-out, you’re not alone. There’s a lot going on in the world that might be taking a toll on your mental health. Are you contemplating a major life change? Do you need help sorting out your wants and needs? Are you exhausted all the time and burnt out from all of your life's competing roles? Even if you’ve never been to therapy before, you might find that talking to someone helps you during these uncertain times. If your fears and anxiety are spiraling out of control, together we will explore the transformation that can happen even in the darkest times. I am here to support you.

I bet you are ready to get the root of the challenges you find yourself facing each day. You have probably tried different approaches with no luck, and you’re wanting to move toward healing so life feels calm and enjoyable. After working with me, people understand themselves in a new way, and are able to have more compassion for themselves and others, while still holding boundaries with self respect. I believe therapy is about building a trusting relationship - between us, and within yourself. In my experience, both profesional and personal, these relationships lead toward healing and wholeness.

I am a psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience working with adults who struggle with very challenging emotional experiences. They may feel stuck, overwhelmed, out-of-control, anxious, angry, unhappy, depressed, alone, defective, or broken. This may translate into engaging in behaviors that both soothe them and hurt them, whether these involve food, alcohol, drugs, self-harm, unhealthy relationships, or even being over-busy or perfectionist.

I have a Master of Arts in Counseling and have been counseling adults, children, teens, and families since 2008.

Let's create a safe place for you to be able to explore; whether you need to explore your anxiety, self-esteem, or even past trauma. I enjoy helping others work on understanding and learning how to manage anxiety. I have insight within the Latinx community and enjoy working on stopping generational trauma. Trauma is a difficult journey to work through, however, it is not impossible. We will begin this journey by allowing yourself to be open and curious throughout this process. Let's set realistic goals and take one step at a time.

Are you struggling with chronic relapse, binges, sex/love/porn addiction, excess substance use, dissociative disorder, or attachment issues? Do you want to decrease your urge to vape, smoke marijuana/nicotine, or drink? Have you experienced social phobia, one or more addictions, sexual abuse, or trauma?

As an LMSW specializing in trauma and complex trauma, I offer culturally responsive care integrating EMDR, Trauma Model Therapy, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (currently in training), along with holistic modalities like DBT, IFS, and Mindfulness-Based CBT.

Trauma is often weaved in and through the fabric of our lives. Many think of trauma as one large scale traumatic event. However, complex trauma is not always a single event. It could be a failed attachment to our care takers, experiencing abuse/neglect, multiple losses, shattered relationships, or the inability to protect ourselves emotionally with healthy boundaries. The most disturbing part of a trauma is not only the event itself, but how we perceived the event, and the internalized negative core beliefs about ourselves that developed.

Are you having difficulty managing stress, relating to others, maintaining healthy relationships and/or managing and expressing emotions? Likewise, are you finding it nearly impossible to trust or become vulnerable with others or finding it difficult to live in the present moment due to still being affected by past distressing experiences (ex. childhood neglect/abuse, lack of emotional nurturing, bullying during school years)? If so, help is just a phone call and/or email away.
