Parenting Therapists in Midlothian, TX

Horses and nature are the background of our therapy porch and I can't wait to invite you in. Horses provide a mirror to our inner world that at times we don't even see. Engaging with clients in unique ways provides experiences that allow for deeper, more meaningful relationships and self - awareness.

My passion is seeing people find solutions to their questions. Sometimes the problems of life deplete our resources.

Things do not have to be 'bad' before you seek counseling. It is never too late to find new directions and live the new change!.

I believe that all people have the capacity to grow and change and that counseling can make profound and lasting changes in your life. My clients are successful people who find themselves challenged during difficult experiences. Counseling is an excellent opportunity to help you learn about your strengths and to explore what you really want out of life and relationships. As an interactive, goal-oriented, solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral therapist, my treatment approach provides support and practical feedback to help clients find solutions for current life challenges. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to determine if my practice is appropriate for your needs.

Who needs counseling? Why do people generally seek counseling? Counseling should not be a last resort. Many people look to counseling as a means to develop a plan for tackling life's obstacles or gain perspective - be it life pressures, trouble with romantic , parent-child, or family relationships, parenting, job related stress, or transistion. Counseling can provide a safe place to emotionally and relationally explore solutions that are right for you. Not one person's path is the same.

Children thrive when they are doing what they know and love best – playing! Sessions with children include play and focus on interactive ways to engage the child in conversation. Play disarms fear, which allows children to become comfortable within the session. Providing children with this space allows their voices to be heard. While sessions are filled with a lot of fun, I also have a natural ability to engage children in meaningful conversation, encourage parents to a deeper relationship with their children, and provide ongoing resources that will help the family long-term.

Everyone’s life story looks different and consists of different challenges, to name a few: trauma, illness, relationship struggles, parenting, loss, caregiving, life balance, burn out, life transitions.

I know what it's like being scared to seek help. I know that asking for help can sometimes feel like things are failing and I caused them. I also know how nervous I felt when I looked for assistance and wanting to begin therapy, scared with questions like, will I be judged? Will they keep my confidence? Can I trust them? I knew that when seeking therapy and looking for help all I wanted was for things to be better, get better, live healthier and be accepted. Therapy is scary, it can bring up issues that may be more frightening than you would like to cope with. Therapy is also helpful, healthy and the best part is, you're not alone.

I offer an empathetic approach helping clients address emotional issues that interfere with them being their best selves. I welcome clients warmly into judgment-free sessions.
