Therapists in Denton County, TX
Do you have trouble separating your needs from the expectations of others? Is it easier to gaslight yourself than end an unhealthy relationship? Are most of your decisions based upon a fear of being rejected or disappointing others? Do you suspect that you’re holding back in most of your platonic and romantic relationships? Like most people, you have probably tried to manage things on your own. You may have the common fear that if you open up to others, you will be a burden. Or, you have been taught from a young age that you must avoid appearing "weak" at all costs.

Do you ever say "I'm done" or "nothing is working " You may feel that there is no hope and that your life is slipping out of control. I view counseling as a collaboration between the therapist and the client(s) where we work together on understanding and resolving issues that are important to you. I understand the emotional, physical, and relationship impact that anxiety, anger, depression have on you. I will help you feel empowered and able to achieve your goals.

It's no secret that we live in a world where finding a safe space, paired with a listening, nonjudgmental ear can be impossible to come by. Couple this absence of safety with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship challenges that impact us all, and we are left with an inability to find life satisfaction. As a counselor, my first priority maintains providing just that. My hope is that through our work together, you leave with a greater sense of direction towards fulfillment and living more authentically.

From Genesis to Revelation this rings true. Together, we can examine these truths and chart a hopeful path through this season of your life.
