Therapists in Denton, TX

I treat all clients with positive regard and compassion. Utilization of treatment modalities to best suit the client and their presenting problems is carefully thought out. I will assist in identifying sources of feelings of despair, loneliness, loss, unresolved guilt, fear, and anger .I am also a licensed clinical supervisor for Social Workers pursuing their LCSW.

Traditional talk therapy doesn't always give us the results we want, especially when working with trauma. I work best with clients who prefer a direct approach and have been trying to heal from trauma for a prolonged period of time without a lot of results. I found that spirituality is an important part of the trauma healing process. To me, spirituality looks like connecting with nature and the earth and expands beyond the traditional perspectives. Trauma often comes with addictions and I do not take the abstinence-only perspective on addiction and tend to emphasize harm reduction as an alternative.

Be heard and acknowledged. My goal in therapy is to provide you with nonjudgmental and empathetic listening, so you can safely explore your current and core issues. In my experience, the catharsis of sharing your thoughts and feelings leads to discovering your strengths and deficits. I truly believe that it is upon these strengths that you will build a repertoire of cognitive, emotional, and physical coping skills to improve the quality of your life. Sessions will be individually tailored to your needs and goals, whether it be developing skills to combat current issues, processing past trauma, or reexamining overall perspectives.

I have been in practice 16-years and have opened my service area thanks to Google Meet & Facetime. I became a therapist (I have a dual degree in both individual & family therapy) after beginning my own work over 2 decades ago. I see therapy as a tool, a valuable asset that helps us to pull from our history and present the things that work so our future can be everything we want.

I am a mixed race (black and white) clinician and feel this gives me a unique perspective to mental health. Life can be mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausting. Trauma (racial, religious, or anywhere in between), work stress, marital strife, parenting woes and the like can at times feel magnified and the weight feels heavy, but I see you. Life is full of ups and downs and mental health can keep us feeling great or wanting to crawl into a dark hole. Sometimes we need to vent and have someone quietly listen, feel seen and validated, get practical advice or be taught practical ways to manage our emotions in real time.

Life can be overwhelming when you are constantly prioritizing others and neglecting your own needs. The self-imposed demands of your perfectionism are exhausting, but you can’t imagine another way of being. Leaving a high-control religion has its challenges, as you work to redefine family dynamics and live according to your own values. Confronting your past trauma can be intimidating, but you’re prepared to embark on the journey of healing. You don’t want to spend your life hating your body, but can’t imagine letting go of control. If any of this resonates with you, I am here to support you.

Many people I have worked with struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and poor coping. I am here to help you come to a greater self understanding so that you experience more positive feelings, stronger relationships, and more goal completion. I also wish to be of support to folks who are questioning their sexuality, gender identity, and coping with strong negative feelings towards their body or self. I want to help you feel heard and validated so that you come to a stronger sense of self acceptance. I strongly believe that self acceptance helps us ultimately make life changes.
