Making the choice to enter into the therapy world isn't always easy. For some, the idea of becoming vulnerable and opening up to a stranger is scary and anxiety provoking. However, the long-term benefits of self-exploration, self-understanding, and self-acceptance are invaluable. Some clients enter therapy with a specific goal in mind or issue to address. Perhaps you have been referred by another clinician or identified a particular problem that needs attention. Therapy is a great place to target those issues and carefully evaluate them in a safe place. Other clients may enter therapy without a specific goal. That's fine too! I work to create a safe and comfortable environment that promotes openness and healing. Individual Therapy - Individual therapy provides you with the opportunity to meet with me on a one on one basis and explore the complexities of your life in a safe space. I work diligently to identify your strengths, and explore ways to capitalize on these and create a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Family and Couples Therapy - Family and couples therapy works to identify patterns in the family system that may be preventing its members from reaching their full potential. We are all creatures of habit, but at times our habits can become mildly dysfunctional or flat out destructive. I work with each family to help develop more effective patterns and create a sense of balance within the system. Eating Disorder Specialty - I have garnered a unique expertise in the field of eating disorders, working in two of the nation's leading treatment facilities - The Renfrew Center and The Center for Pediatric Eating Disorders at Children's Medical Center in Texas. I have experience in residential, inpatient, and outpatient settings where I was able to refine my skills and develop a wide array of tools to use in my own treatment of eating disorders. In addition, my work has traveled across all ages - as I have conducted therapy with adolescents, young adults, and adults alike. I work to identify how patients use their relationship with food to control life chaos, relationships, and seemingly difficult feelings. Pre and Post-Partum Speciality - Beginning a family or adding a new member can be both exciting and nerve racking. All women have different experiences before, during, and after pregnancy. Sometimes there is a need for a little extra support during these intense times. I work with each woman to cultivate on her inner strength and wisdom to help her through whatever may be standing in the way of pure bliss.

I specialize in and have a true passion in COUNSELING CHILDREN & TEENS and understand that bumps along the road can come at any age. Helping our youth brings me sincere joy as they grow into happy, healthy individuals. I believe in the ability of others to succeed & overcome all that life brings. I have been inspired by the strong family traditions & values instilled by my own family & life experience. Backed by a well-rounded education & guiding philosophy of marriage as societies cornerstone, I seek to develop & celebrate the strength of others. I offer an opportunity to face your difficulties constructively & confidently. At New Horizon, we will focus on your needs in a gentle, empathetic, and non-judgmental manner. It is understandable that for some, seeking counseling is a major decision. At times we may all need additional support or help with our daily struggles, life events, crises, or unknown emotional difficulties.

Relationship conflict? Has trust been broken? Are you considering ending your relationship? Do you feel that your partner is no longer the person you fell in love with? Are you both caught in a vicious cycle repeating the same negative interactions over and over and over. Let me help you heal your relationship and move forward. Let me help you find answers to the questions you have about your relationship. Let me help you increase respect, trust, friendship, passion and intimacy with your partner. Did you know that techniques used 15 years ago (and sadly by some therapists today) have actually been shown in research to be more likely to split couples apart than unite them??? When you make the decision to spend your time and money on counseling, you want it to work!!! That's why I use approaches by Dr. Gottman and Sue Johnson created from over 20 years of research with real couples. It allows me to provide counseling in a way than most couples find refreshingly different and more interactive than they imagined.

Work with a skilled, dedicated, experienced professional who can assist you in dealing with divorce, trauma, and life changes. Therapy focuses on developing relationships within the family through individual therapy for the child, parenting assistance, and family interventions. Life is complicated! Learning to navigate parenting issues, marital troubles, issues from our past, and integrating our world view into our lifestyle can be difficult--especially when we feel so disconnected from others. Counseling From A Christian Perspective Using the Bible in counseling is crucial for a Christian's growth. Learning from the timeless truths of the Bible with someone else can give a perspective and a power missing from other forms of therapy. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from unrighteousness. This type of therapy incorporates both evidenced based therapeutic interventions and Bible verses to facilitate change. 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-Breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. For parents, the only difference in the Christian therapy and typical play therapy is the interventions at home--Bible memory and reading stories from the Bible that touch on specific issues in the child's life. Deuteronomy 6:6-7 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Helping parents incorporate their world view into their parenting is the goal.

I have a small private practice in Dallas, just off of the tollway and Trinity Mills. I deliberately keep it small so that I can truly devote myself to the clients that I have. I am selective about who I take as therapy patients and coaching clients. I only work with people who are really committed to the process of their work. You can go at your own pace and in your own direction when you work with me. However, I have found that clients who attend therapy regularly and who commit to doing between-session work are the onces who are most successful. In our initial meeting, we will get to know each other and see if this is the right type of therapy for you. You can assess whether you think I would be the right therapist for you, and I will tell you honestly whether I think I am the right one to help you. If it is a match, I will be delighted to be a part of your journey. The type of therapies that I'm specialized in doing are called Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy and Cogntive Behavioral Therapy. You can visit my Dallas REBT CBT Meetup Group, which is a low cost psycho-educational group that I run monthly, during which I talk about REBT and CBT topics. You can also visit my other group: The Dallas Club Fearless Meetup Group, which is another low cost monthly group. I am also always gathering names of people who are interested in participating in a psychotherapy group at my office. Psychotherapy groups focus on your specific psychological needs, whereas the meetup groups are focused on topics and are not therapy groups. **Please note: at this time, I don't accept insurance. I can provide you with an insurance receipt for you to file upon payment. Please check with your provider to see if you have benefits to include out of network reimbursement directly to you.
