Find a Therapist in Carrollton, Texas.

I provide psychotherapy to adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, career, and relationship stress. Therapy can be effective in helping you identify and process your emotions, untangle your thoughts and worries, heal from past wounds/relationships, and improve your confidence. When you schedule your first initial session with me, we will work together to determine what you want to get out of therapy and create an action plan of how to get there. Each session we will focus on a therapy goal and start exploring how to get closer to that goal through processing, activities, techniques, and research-based interventions.

Psychotherapy is about gaining self-awareness. When we can identify negative self-talk, we can begin to challenge it and replace it with healthy, positive self-talk. When we understand communication and relationship patterns, we can learn to set boundaries and create new patterns of behavior. When we learn that we are engaging in people-pleasing behaviors, we can explore why and then begin to seek validation from ourselves rather than someone else. Everyone has value.

Psychotherapy is one of the best and most effective ways to improve an individuals quality of life. More people should utilize this tool, which can provide an objective, unbiased perspective for the challenges that people face in their lives. As a therapist, I will collaborate and support you in finding constructive ways to deal with your concerns and problems.

As human beings, we each grow up with a family of origin that is dysfunctional at some level because every family is made of of imperfect humans! It is amazing what taking a look at how our perceptions of life, love, God, money, the world around us, etc. is formed and how that impacts who we are and how we act today. It is never about blame, but it is often about finding real truth and forgiveness and learning how to move on and become your true authentic self!
