Compassionate Couples Therapy and Individual Counseling in Dallas

Seeking therapy can be an incredibly vulnerable and scary decision, which is why it is important for me to create a space for my clients to be their most authentic self. I strive to ensure trust and support is at the root of all sessions. Healing is a unique process for everyone, I work to find what healing can look like for you.

While I bring my psychotherapy training to my clients, I believe my clients are the ultimate experts of their life and honor their autonomy. I lean in to my clients unique experiences and identities. Collaborating with my clients on treatment goals and providing feedback throughout therapy ensures that you feel authentically heard throughout the process.

LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapist

As a therapist, I know that all people bring their own beautiful and unique identities to the table. I believe that gender and sexuality work on a spectrum, and I am open and ready to have conversations about your sexual identity or sexual orientation. If you are my client, I will always be an advocate for you and for your needs, with an open mind and acceptance for you no matter what.

All clients bring their own strengths to the table, and I always want to highlight the resilience and strength they already must serve them well. My hope is that you have a better understanding of who you are, what you want, and what the best version of you looks like in interpersonal relationships and individually.

Relational partners are not the problem, the problem is the problem. I will help you identify other ways to view a problem, so that you and your partner can unite against a common enemy. Eliminating feelings of frustration, shame, and guilt, can allow you to live a life of freedom, confidence, and optimism.
