I am also trained theologically, so mental health and spirituality is something I am able to integrate with you to your benefit.
Life has a tendency to throw unexpected situations, problems, and experiences at us. During these times, it is wise to seek guidance for our personal lives, marriages, families, and professional situations. Together, we will examine your current life situation, what is achievable, and how to move forward. Characteristics of narcissism, controlling behaviors, and problematic situations can affect one's mental health significantly. I work both with the person who struggles with these problems as well as those who are in relationships with that person. I work with individuals, couples, and families.

Are you tired of feeling stuck, anxious, or like you are not enough? Brené Brown says, “You either walk inside your story and own it or you stand outside your story and hustle for your worthiness.” Therapy can help you process past hurts and current struggles and is a great start to walking inside your of your story and owning it instead of hustling for your worthiness- an endless endeavor.

I live in Rockwall, TX. Clients who are struggling but wanting to not only heal, but also grow have the potential for being extremely powerful people. We have all gone through difficult times, experiencing anxiety, fear, depression, and hopelessness. However, if we have healed, we look back and see those times as hard, but some of the most powerful in our lives. Hearts can become strong, marriages can be healed and become euphoric, and our families can become strong, powerful, and beautiful. If you have a Christian background, I can help you become stronger in your faith. Executive Coaching available.

Weeknights Available. Are you seeking personal growth, healing, and lasting change? Perhaps you are in unknown spaces of your life, where transitions or change are calling you to shed what no longer serves you. Shame, anxiety, self-sabotage, and depression are often huge blocks in our lives. I work with individuals to cultivate a deep self-acceptance and self-connection so they may show up fully in their lives: empowered, balanced, calm, and standing in their truth. I offer a safe therapeutic space to illuminate the pathway to authenticity and healing. I also offer a deep understanding of emotional and narcissistic abuse.

Currently an LPC-Associate under the supervision of Lauren Coats, LPC-S. I specializes in relationships. I am passionate about working with adults and couples through issues related to attachment and feelings of disconnection, emotional and relational boundaries, infidelity, self-esteem, anxiety, loneliness, and life transitions. Through creating an atmosphere of empathy, warmth, and connection, I invite individuals to be curious, self-compassionate, and determined to create the life they want rather than one filled with shame, disconnection from others, or feeling trapped in current life circumstances.

Being human isn't always easy, and when life gets complicated and becomes challenging, therapy can help offer tools to navigate through a crisis while providing you a deeper exploration of yourself. Problems in relationships often come from old ways of coping that served you in the past, but now may be keeping you from feeling fulfilled and satisfied with your life. I believe our most challenging times can also be our greatest opportunity for change. Healing is possible, and therapy is a journey towards self-discovery where you get to explore the landscape of your own mind.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist for 25 years I have extensive experience helping couples and individuals confront life's challenges. My goal is to help you transform life's difficulties into opportunities for growth and change. By employing various innovative techniques and strategies your dreams can become realities. Anger, fear, judgement and doubt have a tendency to get in the way of achieving our goals and can render us feeling isolated and hopeless. Remember, your feelings of joy, confidence, optimism and hope that we possessed. Those feelings can be revived and reborn in a safe, trusting therapeutic environment.

Let's be honest. Life can seem hopeless at times. Between the pressures that the world puts on us, and the pressure we put upon ourselves, expectations can feel overwhelming. Am I a good parent? Is my marriage working? Am I getting the most out of my career choices? Why don't I ever have peace in my life? There are also times in our lives when we could use the assistance of a helper. Someone that can help us understand and work through all of our challenges. To be a part of this process is truly an honor. And, as a Mental Health Practitioner, I have had the privilege of helping many individuals, couples and families.

What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?
Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.
What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?
There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.
Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?
Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.
How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?
Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
