Biography: I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Texas. I've worked as psychotherapist and crisis interventionist in the Dallas Metro area since 1979. I work with clients presenting with a broad range of issues, including depression, anxiety, childhood abuse, marital and family problems, trauma and stress disorders, post-trautic adjustment disorders, and bereavement. My counseling style is interactive and straight forward. Person-centered and cognitive behavioral theories of psychotherapy are my primary approaches to treatment. Person-centered therapy is used to build and maintain a healthy therapeutic relationship and cognitiv behavioral therapy is used to explore and expose destructive self-defeating thinking and coping behaviors. I also believe humor is the "spoonful of sugar" that helps the medicine go down. Clients tell me I am a kind person. I appreciate that because I genuinely care about others and want to help them when I can.

Biography: Everyday is a fresh start! I most certainly believe that...Seasons Change and so do You! It is inevitable to journey through life without the help of someone else. That's just what therapy is for me; to join you on a journey and help clients see the other side to things. Having clients join me on a mindfully attuned self-awareness journey, will help one begin to explore what works for them; seeing the Seasons change for themselves. Lifestyle therapy is important as it it offers each person a framework for a way to live despite what obstacles and trauma faced. Often times when grief and toxic relationships overtake, break, and burden our hearts; being a caregiver stretches us, depression and anxiety infiltrate our minds; self-esteem and the inability to express our thoughts and feelings, emotions overtake our voice; clients find themselves hiding in the shadows; just existing and not living; doing and not being. Learning to live within their desired lifestyle practice, gaining more awareness, and the ability to use their voice; clients will be on their way to leading a healthier and mindful lifestyle. In my 7 years of counseling, I care to take a person centered approach and aim to inspire others to engage in a mindfulness lifestyle therapy that innately drives a client to be... Inspired By You!

Biography: I have been a therapist for over 17 years, and have had the privilege to serve a very wide demographic of individuals and groups as an owner of a private practice as well as executive coach. While an owner of a private practice, I trained in many areas of specialty, so I could provide the best quality therapy for anyone that was introduced to our clinic, and especially those that my associate therapists were not trained to serve and help. My areas of specialties include PTSD, Sexual Abuse Recovery, Depression, Anxiety, Couples Therapy and Relationship Issues, Grief and Loss, Sexual Issues and Dysfunction, Addiction Issues, Personality and Mood Disorders, Self-harm and Eating Disorders, Spiritual Issues, Addiction, Mediation, Career Counseling and Life Coaching. I thoroughly enjoy what I do, and consider it a privilege to walk alongside someone through sometimes the most difficult time in their life. It is an honor to be trusted to encourage and provide tools to help people transform their lives. Both reactive therapy (helping people recover and thrive in life) and proactive coaching (helping people achieve their goals) are enjoyable for me, so no matter what your goals are, if you feel I am a fit for you, I will do my best to help you achieve those goals as quickly as possible. I work from a brief therapy model, but will extend the treatment plan as agreed and needed if other issues present. I look forward to meeting you and helping you move forward from a place of feeling "stuck" to achieving wellness. Let's get started!
