Couples, Family, & Individual Therapy
I am a fully Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Dallas, TX. I am currently working on my Doctor of Philosophy degree in Family Therapy. I hold a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Texas Woman’s University. I have completed my doctoral internship at UT Southwestern Medical Center conducting couples, family, and individual therapy. I am also in agency working with children/adolescents (with behavioral issues) and their families. I am a member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy and Texas Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. I have presented on the topics of Self-Care and Neuroscience.
I have extensive experience and training in working with couples, families, and individuals with diverse presenting issues and various walks of life. My passion includes working with couples of all ages, blended families, and issues involving remarriage. I specialize in working with couples and families who are experiencing complexity in the blending of two households and coparenting issues.
While I use a variety of approaches in my therapeutic style, my guiding theories are emotionally focused therapy, experiential therapy, and family systems and family of origin approaches. I take a systemic and collaborative approach as I believe that the client(s) is the expert of his/her life. Correspondingly, I believe in the notion that a change in one individual can influence others within the couple and/or family system.
With that said, I am a compassionate individual and genuinely interested in listening to the stories of my clients. My hope is that I can provide my clients with the support and tools they need to reach a fulfilling life consisting of growth, prosperity, authenticity, and happiness. Establishing a healthy and trusting therapeutic relationship where my clients feel secure, respected, heard and understood is important to me.
If you are hurting and in pain, feeling stuck and alone, desire to reach emotional connection and security with your partner and/or loved ones, or simply inspired to learn and promote personal growth, please do not hesitate to contact me. You don't have to be alone in your struggle, I am here to help! I look forward to speaking with you.
