Therapists in Dallas, TX

Have you come to the realization that your unresolved trauma experiences (i.e. terrible events that happened in childhood, adolescence and/or adulthood) continue to disrupt your ability to manage stress, relate to others, maintain healthy relationships and/or manage and express 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 feeling trapped in your traumatic past? If so, help is just a phone call and/or email away.

As a therapist in Dallas, it is my mission to help you connect with yourself and others in meaningful ways. You may feel like you can’t be fully yourself, like you’re trapped inside your own mind or body. You may not be sure you know who you are anymore. You might be trapped in the expectations you have of others, or you are stuck in negative cycles. My clients come to me when they feel isolated and disconnected, and I help them gain the insight they need to live an authentic and empowered life.

My ideal client includes someone who is goal oriented but needs help putting the pieces together. I prefer someone who is self motivated, and not being forced to come to therapy, be it adolescent or young adult. I prefer someone who may be self discovering, stepping into a new aspect of their life, or started the healing process from past trauma. I'm an equal opportunist, so if you need me, I want to be there for you.

The purpose of therapy is to grow as a person and through the growth process affect changes in one’s life and relationships. As a therapist, I see my role as short term in nature, walking with people through sometimes very difficult chapters in their lives. Individual results in therapy vary, for in the final analysis the client decides their level of commitment to change and personal growth. However, the decision to begin the process of therapy is a courageous commitment to take the first step on the journey of self-discovery and growth.

Sometimes we need to be heard without judgment. Sometimes we need to make sense of pain in our past to make living in the present a little less difficult.

I am committed to empowering clients as they deal with concerns such as self-esteem, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, spirituality, life transitions, and anxiety.

Have you been comparing yourself to others and frustrated with your own trajectory? Maybe you want to be hopeful but often wonder if the problem is you. Maybe you identify as LGBTQ+ and are looking for an unapologetically affirming environment. You may even have a strained or difficult relationship with religion that is affecting your adult life. Making the decision to pursue therapy can feel overwhelming initially. Exploring challenges in life can be scary. All of your feelings are valid and you deserve an environment to explore and consider the areas that life doesn’t always grant us time to navigate.

You wake up in the middle of the night, your mind swirling with thoughts of whether you'll ever be able to trust someone again – to let down those walls that have become your armor. The old ways of coping that once served you now seem to be crumbling, leaving you feeling even more adrift. Each time you tidy up a space, the weight of responsibilities feels unbearable, and you can't help but yearn for someone to care for you, to give you the break you so desperately need and deserve. If your day-to-day seems like a maze of responsibilities and obligations that leave little room for your own well-being, I understand and I can help.

Hi, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and have worked for over 7 years with people who suffer from diverse, life-challenging mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, anger management, low self-esteem, suicidal ideation, sexual or physical abuse, social phobia, drug/alcohol abuse, parenting, relationship issues, etc.

You matter and what you have been through matters. The pain is deep and the reality is often too difficult to face let alone overcome. So you do the thing that helps in the moment but then hurts later, bringing in shame and guilt, self-doubt and anger. You do not have to go through this alone. There is so much life you have to live in front of you and this burden does not have to weigh you down. There is hope and help available here for you. Reach out today and stop white-knuckling through each situation or experience. Let's reduce those symptoms and cease the harm caused by unhealthy outlets and get to the root of it all.

The impact of childhood trauma, trust and intimacy issues, communicating effectively, parenting, relationship discord, divorce, depression, are all life issues that can be overwhelming if not unpacked and addressed. The fact that you are ready for change is an important attribute to bring to therapy. I commend you for seeking counseling. Seeking counsel is considered as a wise decision, so you are doing the right thing.

I am passionate about helping children, teens, and young adults navigate the waves of anxiety and learn how to sit with uncertainty so they can live life to the fullest.

Do you ever feel like you're just skimming the surface of your life, dreaming of what could be? True freedom is about diving deep—connecting authentically with your dreams and the people around you. It's not easy to balance everything, especially when self-doubt creeps in. Yet, the effort to integrate all parts of your life can be profoundly rewarding. This isn't just about improving—it's about transforming. It's about making the leap from dreaming to doing and truly living your potential in a way that resonates with your deepest self.

Overwhelmed. Exhausted. Numb. These may be some of the feelings you are experiencing right now. You want something to be different, but you don’t know where to start. You may feel so consumed with taking care of others that part of you has gotten lost and you don’t know how to get back to “you.” The days go by, but it’s hard to truly connect with and trust others. You may question whether you can even trust yourself. Life has turned into avoiding pain, and the more you push the difficult feelings down, the more overwhelmed and alone you feel. If you are reading this page, some part of you is longing for something to be different.

Does this sound like you? No matter how hard you try, negative thoughts fill your head, swimming around, taking over your day. You try so hard, but everything you do feels wrong, imperfect, and uncomfortable. Sometimes you may feel full of energy and then crash or become tearful and sad or angry and irritable. Sometimes you may have nightmares or flashbacks or lose time just sitting and thinking. Perhaps you have felt this way and gone through the same behavior patterns your whole life. Or maybe, these feelings are brand new, and you have never felt this way before. For whatever reason, you are seeking help and I am glad you are.
