EMDR Therapists in Mesquite, TX

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor whose goal is to empower clients with the ability to live their future with confidence. I blend cognitive behavior therapy and mindfulness to strengthen clients as they work through overwhelming life experiences that are controlling their emotions, thoughts, and feelings. I am also EMDR certified to help clients that have experienced trauma. I have skills working with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar, and trauma. I enjoy working together with adults and adolescents from diverse populations to help them discover the strength they need to move forward in life.

I have served in the helping professions for several years and has had the opportunity to work with a multitude of populations. I completed my first degree in Industrial and organizational psychology and successfully guided many individual businesses to start existing in their purpose. After completing this Journey, I returned and received my second degree in Professional counseling and has since worked with teens, Adults and Seniors to address the needs they have related to esteem, goals and their identified purpose.

You know that saying “Never judge a book by its cover”? Well, I can honestly say that the cover of my book does not match the pages! The pages in my book of life have equipped me with the experience to connect with ALL people. In my book, I’ve encountered many conflicts. I’ve been the antagonist and the protagonist and I’m just in the rising action. Because my pages are not all filled with butterflies and sunshine, I’ve had to work to find ways to help equip myself with daily coping skills. I am happy to be in a position to share my experience with others through therapy and educational opportunities.

I may not know exactly how you feel, but I understand that you want to feel differently: about yourself, about your relationship, about your life. I welcome adolescents and adults, couples, and families facing a variety of challenges including stress, depression, trauma, self-esteem, life transitions, relationship issues, anxiety, parenting, unresolved familial conflict, and the general "stuck" feeling. I believe that with my understanding of people and your understanding of you, we can work together to address these challenges.

We empower creatives, business leaders, working parents, IT professionals, high-functioning teens, and athletes to heal and thrive.

Specializing in trauma, work-related stressors, anxiety, and grief, our mission is to provide compassionate and culturally competent care to teens and adults of all ages. We believe that everyone deserves to feel understood and valued.

Do you feel stuck? Anxious, depressed, or fearful of the future? Trauma leaves a mark on your mind, body, and soul. It can leave you frozen, feeling anxious and depressed, affecting your relationships, taking away your sense of security, and causing you to lose hope. It could even lead to the use of drugs and alcohol to cope with the emotional pain and traumatic memories. But healing is possible! You can have the life filled with peace and joy that you've always wanted.

All people go through difficult times in life. It is my desire to walk alongside you through those challenges as we work together to pursue healing.

I am committed to helping people. I have a passion for supervision. I believe that supervision helped me to become a confident clinician and I feel empowered to help others find their clinical voice as well. I also have a passion for people dealing with chronic illness. People who deal with health issues on a daily basis need someone to talk to as they navigate the struggles of getting well. As a parent of four children I understand that parenting can be difficult and at times frustrating. I want to help parents find the joys in raising children and help them feel successful as caregivers. I am kind, compassionate, and honest.

Sometimes, the turbulence of life is unavoidable, and we find ourselves in a holding pattern. What does your turbulence consist of? What keeps you strapped in your seat? Maybe, it's a broken marriage or dysfunctional relationship? Maybe, it's the loss of a loved one, depression, fear, or anxiety. Whatever the turbulence is, I want to help you set a path that leads to healing and restoration.

There is no 'right' way through this. There is just 'through.' Families are under tremendous pressure, even more so during these times. Children & teens spent too long without their social support and are now trying to achieve a new normal. This fear and anxiety of the unknown is similar to those experienced by adults recently. I can help adults, teens, & children work through the fear, anxiety, stress and trauma and help you build strong, healthy, resilient individuals and families. I enjoy working with all ages and specialize in family conflict, anxiety/depression, trauma, PTSD, Veterans, First Responders, & child specialties.

I aspire to introduce aspects of Vedic or holistic approaches that can help fellow South Asians and other minorities feel represented, catered to, and seen. I form therapy around the cultural environments and familial structures we grew up with to heal from intergenerational trauma. I encourage discussion of identity and intersectionality to help clients gain clarity on what needs they want fulfilled. I hope to represent marginalized populations and give a voice to the voiceless, as all people deserve access to the best healthcare and mental health resources. With a rapport immersed in trust, we can uplift your authentic self!

I have a passion for helping people reach their full potential by breaking the chains of past/current hurts or fears and moving into freedom. I believe therapy is a collaborative effort that requires active participation from both client(s) and therapist. Honesty and cooperation are necessary tools that can help spark change.

I am dedicated to helping my clients achieve their counseling goals. I will work alongside you to help you gain greater personal insight, cope with life's challenges, identify negative thinking patterns, and/or take steps to make positive behavioral changes. I will give you all the tools I have in my 'tool box' to help you make the personal changes you want to make. I believe that a well-lived life includes on-going personal self-reflection that leads to positive growth. My counseling is based on a foundation of Christian principles and precepts. I provide counseling for adults (18 yrs. and older), couples, and groups.
