Whether you're struggling with relationships, navigating life transitions, feeling overwhelmed by depression or anxiety, or trying to overcome trauma, I'd like to help you feel less stuck and more empowered to live a healthier, more meaningful life.

An untapped potential to heal, to overcome and to excel lies within each of us. Unlocking this latent potential is at the core of my practice providing counseling as a psychologist in Dallas, Texas. My desire to bring clients faster, more effective and more enduring results led me to create a practice that bridges traditional therapy approaches, coaching techniques and medical hypnotherapy. As a result, you reduce stress, improve motivation and attain goals. By gaining insight and self-management tools, you can make lasting changes to your personal and professional life.

DBT is an evidence based cognitive behavioral treatment that emphasizes individual psychotherapy and group skills classes to help people learn new strategies to develop a life that they experience as worth living. DBT skills include mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT is effective in treating a wide range of issues such as suicidal ideation, nonsuicidal self-injury, depression, addictive behavior, PTSD, eating disorders and Borderline Personality Disorder. It has been shown to be more effective than hospitalization in the treatment of suicidality.

As a therapist, I want to help you develop a life worth living. We will work together to set goals, learn new coping skills, implement new behaviors, and explore values so that you can build a life that you are passionate about. In the words of Marsha Linehan, creator of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, I believe, "the most caring thing a therapist can do is to help clients change in ways that bring them closer to their own ultimate goals."

"Be caring, curious, and then compassionate." I practice these three steps just as I teach them. I studied psychology, counseling, and family therapy for 12 years to become the best therapist I could be and to know how best to help someone work through depression or anxiety. I especially enjoy working with couples to help create their healthiest relationship. My speciality is working with parents and their children even if they are grown.

School, jobs, friends, partners, family - Life can be messy and overwhelming, and being human comes with personal struggle. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, or significant life changes, making the decision to ask for help takes courage and is the hardest and most important step.

I focus on helping people to overcome symptoms of grief, depression, anxiety, and relationship stress. I provide a safe environment and compassionate support to identify the impact these are having on daily living and personal relationships. I then provide professional expertise to guide people through implementing therapeutic strategies to overcome them.

As a psychologist and Lacanian psychoanalyst, I believe that psychotherapy works best when you feel free to express and explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences-including the ones that feel difficult to put into words. Words have the power both to hurt and to heal. I am trained to listen and intervene in a way that can have many benefits, including relief from suffering and substantive, lasting changes such as personal growth, increased relationship satisfaction and life fulfillment, and an improved ability to work and succeed. I provide a comfortable, professional environment in which I aim to help you meet your goals.

In a culture, where judging or joking about the sexuality of others is common, talking about personal challenges with our own sexuality is often difficult and embarrassing. You may have just learned about an affair or other act of infidelity and are feeling angry, confused, and hurt; may be wondering why you cannot seem to stop compulsive behavior with prostitutes, anonymous partners, or pornography; may have been sexually abused, not knowing how to find peace and move on; or may feel so much anxiety about sex that you are unable to enjoy it. I provide a safe place to talk.

People begin therapy for various reasons. Commonly for self-development, the wish to improve confidence, grieving a loved one or the loss of a relationship. Other reasons could be experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, or life transitions. Or perhaps you struggle with the existential questions of life. Whatever, your reasons for treatment are unique to you. There is only one You. That also means your goals and needs are specific to your ongoing interpersonal growth. If you are ready to improve your life, gain clarity, and learn ways to manage your emotions then counseling is a positive step.

I believe in mutuality. I believe that all persons deserve it in relationships, even when things feel too complicated. So I naturally prioritize a collaborative, exploratory, and enlightening relationship for healing - both in psychotherapy and in evaluation. When I work with any age or circumstance, I try to understand words, thoughts, behaviors, and meanings. These all can lend themselves to strengths or difficulties, so we work with these to bring about desired change.

I am currently accepting new clients. I’m a firm believer that therapy can’t be ‘one size fits all.’ While there are some tried and true practices that I utilize, none of my clients’ therapy journeys will look alike because no two people are exactly alike! I am dedicated to helping my clients explore what’s not working for them, and identify the right tools for making impactful change.
