Psychodynamic Therapists in Trophy Club, TX

Are you really hard on yourself? Do you often see the world as very black and white, right or wrong? Have you been called a perfectionist? Do these qualities put a strain on your relationships? It is exhausting to try to measure up to these expectations that the world puts on us, or even worse, that we put on ourselves. By engaging in a therapeutic relationship, my hope is for you to find self-compassion and freedom.

I come to this profession with a drive to bring forth honesty, self-discovery, and self-compassion with each person I work with. At my core, I see therapy as a transformational process that helps people to become empowered and unburdened. Through a process of safely unearthing, re-wiring, and re-writing our lived experience, therapy can bring about a shift of perspective that can have a ripple effect of positive changes in someone's life. As your therapist, I use a psychodynamic, strengths based approach in our work together. I take this process and your time very seriously, as it can be a life changing investment in yourself.

Greetings (please send a text to the listed number for a faster response, or email, I am often unable to answer calls). I am a doctoral student level therapist, my specialties include, internal conflict, existential crisis, grief, spirituality, life transitions, major depression, and family/marital conflict. I work with your inner self as a reflection of your external path and current relationships. My role is to provide a safe space as a neutral ally for the uncovering of what may be unconscious to you or possibly difficult to talk about.

There are so many reasons you may be interested in therapy. You may find yourself in a season where you want deeper connection, or just have a feeling something needs to change. You may be in a relationship that seems stuck in a distressing pattern of conflict and are looking for hope. You may notice yourself reacting, escaping, or coasting through life. You are not alone. One of the most courageous and sacred things we can ever do is to open up to someone we trust and let them speak into our life. That is what I'm here for.

I believe my effectiveness is attributed to an empathic attitude in understanding an individual while working with them to heal, grow, and ultimately change self-defeating thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I am a teacher at heart, so my style is highly interactive and solution-oriented. To most effectively meet the needs of all individuals, I practice an integrative approach drawing from Psychodynamic, Family Systems, Imago, Gestalt, and Cognitive-Behavioral models. Areas of emphasis include interpersonal relationship issues, addictions/codependency, family of origin/ACOA issues, boundaries, anxiety/stress/depression, conflict resolution, trauma/emotional healing, and personal/spiritual growth.
