Relationship Issues Therapists in Dallas, TX

Have you found yourself engaging in similar distressing behaviors, thought patterns, or relational dynamics despite your best efforts to change? My approach aims to address your current distress as well as work with you to investigate why this suffering is taking place to begin with. I believe unwanted behaviors, emotions, and thoughts are illustrating something about your experience that has yet to be understood. Therapy provides a relationship in which you can begin to make sense of what your suffering is saying. My hope is that in working together, you can journey towards long lasting life fulfillment instead of simply coping.

Many of us struggle with feelings of insecurity, anger, anxiety, and sadness. We may find ourselves wishing that relationships with our families, romantic partners, or friends were more fulfilling. Sometimes the struggle to decipher how to live a more fulfilling life can be a lonely one. If you feel this way, know that you are not alone and there is help. After working as a therapist for over a decade, what I have found is that no one wants to live a "less than" life, yet many do not know how to live any differently.

I specialize in assisting individuals in understanding the root causes of their frustrations, anger, anxiety, and feelings of inadequacy in managing life's challenges. If you find yourself navigating the complexities of an intercultural relationship and feel in need of support, I'm here to lend an empathetic ear and practical guidance.

I am a bilingual psychologist who is passionate about offering people a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment in which to grow and explore themselves. I view psychotherapy as being a collaborative experience where the therapeutic relationship drives meaningful change and growth. As my clients experience those uncomfortable "growth spurt" moments, I aim to support them by modeling authenticity and encouraging them to practice patience and acceptance with themselves. It is my personal belief that therapy can not only lead to symptom reduction, but also to greater personal satisfaction and inner tranquility.

Your life is not supposed to be like this. Maybe you work late to avoid going home. Maybe you or your partner’s affair has put your relationship in crisis. Or maybe you are facing challenges at work. You care about your relationships and career, but you find yourself exhausted, angered too easily, tired of arguments that cannot be won, and devoid of patience.

I believe that we are all unique and have the power and ability to make effective change in our lives. It is with this empathetic and non-judgmental approach that I assist clients to discover their own solutions for therapeutic healing.

Ready to feel like you again? Want to feel more connected in life and relationships? I specialize in helping individuals and couples break through that "stuck" feeling when challenges show up. Clients will learn how to make lasting changes that will take them to where they want to be & feel better in their lives. I also provide unique specialized care for new moms and couples that are facing the challenges of postpartum issues and parenting. The journey of trying to conceive to parenthood can be a roller coaster, and you're not alone. Counseling can help you gain tools to navigate through challenges.

Nothing in life is one size fits all; therapy is no exception. My first priority is to establish a trusting relationship with you, then together create goals tailored to your individual needs. As humans, we tend to shy away from uncomfortable, unwanted, or overwhelming feelings/thoughts. We all develop habits to cope; sometimes those habits may no longer be helpful. In a non-judgmental and safe environment, we will work together, unlock your potential and create the change you desire. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor and fully trained in EMDR in Texas.

I work with clients in the midst of difficult times, sorting through challenging situations and life transitions. Many clients come with concerns about a relationship, marital problems, family conflict, or because they are somewhere in the process of divorce. They are wanting a safe place to talk, objective listening, support, direction that will facilitate change, and a process forward. Divorcing couples that I see are looking for a gentler more thoughtful approach to divorce. One that encourages a workable ongoing coparenting relationship.

I work collaboratively with individuals and couples to help uncover relational patterns that are contributing to their challenges, as well as strengths. I strive to meet clients where they are to help uncover the tools that will work best within the context of their own unique, personal journeys. I’m a big believer that therapy can be beneficial at any stage of life and enjoy working with adults and couples across all life stages and transitions.

Do you often find that you compare yourself to others? Do you want to stop unhealthy behaviors but have a hard time making change? Do you find yourself stuck in a cycle of unhealthy relationships, but you're not sure what to do about it? Maybe you struggle with setting and keeping boundaries with yourself and others. We all have limits in relationships that help us feel safe and connected, although sometimes it's hard to assert them. Many of us have been "trained" to ignore our own needs. What would it be like to work on making decisions in your life that truly benefit you and allow you to have healthier connections?

My ideal client wants to be heard and understood. Any potential new clients might be experiencing depression or anxiety and are wanting to break free from this. They are needing expert help on their relationship issues and want to strengthen their marriage. Their needs and goals will be heard. They want to understand themselves better and understand their spouse better as well. My ideal client wants to learn how to create and set boundaries in their relationships. My ideal client wants to heal, write a new chapter, and create healthier relationships.

I help you to change habits, feelings and thoughts that aren't supporting you right now, using the power of your subconscious mind. My clients usually come to me when something is getting in the way of their feeling good or doing well. It could be to stop smoking or another 'bad' habit, a weight issue, under-performance in sports or school, stress or frustration at work or at home, relationship challenges from the past or in the present, or simply stop doing what isn't working and start doing what is, making it easy and automatic within the mind.

Are you struggling to come to terms with your sexual or gender identity? Do you find that you have more questions than answers about who you are and who you love lately? Maybe you need validation that who you are is who you are meant to be. Perhaps you are looking for someone to talk to about your sexual traumas, interests or desires, or you and your partner are struggling in your sexual or emotional relationship. Whatever your situation is, my empathetic and affirming approach can help you explore these questions and more in depth.

Currently accepting clients as of 7/2/2024! Hello & welcome! I am passionate about utilizing psychotherapy and psychodiagnostic assessment to help people discover and embrace their most authentic selves. I believe that a collaborative and supportive therapeutic relationship is the foundation for creating a safe space for you to increase your insight and flourish. I work with children and teens who are looking to better understand themselves, increase relationship satisfaction, heal from painful or traumatic experiences, increase their emotional regulation, process life transitions, or pursue a more meaningful future.

My passion is helping people cope with, learn from and overcome their unique life challenges. I offer clients expertise in short- or long-term psychotherapy, family consultation, and cognitive remediation as tools to help us identify goals and meet them through our work together. I am qualified and experienced to help adults cope with or resolve a wide range of challenges, including depression or anxiety, relationship issues, making decisions or transitions, recovering from injury or illness, working through current or past trauma, as well as diagnosing and treating various psychiatric and cognitive disorders.

Life sometimes brings unexpected challenges that may seem extremely difficult, and at times, impossible to manage. These challenges may be contributing to overwhelming feelings of stress, anxiety, depression, mental health issues, relationship conflict, or overall life dissatisfaction. I understand the feeling of defeat. You are not alone. Allow me to help provide a safe haven for self-exploration, awareness, personal/relational growth, and wellness.

Relationships are complicated and often bring emotional pain, loneliness, anxiety, and discouragement. Committing to someone requires courage and strength. I work with couples, families, and individuals applying the principles of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) which is a research-based treatment for clients seeking emotional connection and fulfillment in relationships. EFT helps clients understand the interactional patterns that cause emotional disconnection. I would love to offer you these tools, deeper understanding, and helpful insight as you seek to repair your most important relationships.
