Dallas Counseling for Anger, Depression, Anxiety, Couples/Marriage,
and Domestic Violence (Battering Intervention and Prevention Program)

Are You Ready For Health?
My role as a therapist is to help people work through problems that are interfering with their daily lives. I can aid you in assessing your strengths, developing your optimal potential, clarifying your current problems, and assisting you in changing self-defeating behaviors and in making positive choices. Counseling treatment is unique for each patient and depends on your needs and goals. The philosophy that guides my practice is the unwavering belief that people have a limitless potential to heal and grow. It is my goal to help you recognize and realize your abilities. Positive change occurs through the collaborative relationship between counselor and patient. image

Are You Ready For A Caring Experience?
My Dallas Fort Worth area office environment is client-centered, warm, accepting, and encouraging. I believe this climate provides the opportunity for clients to be creative, intelligent, and able to explore personal issues that are sometimes difficult to face. Counseling is a reciprocal relationship that promotes empathy, investigation, questions, education, and insight.

Counseling
The reasons for seeking a therapist vary widely. The most common are depression and anxiety. The decision to participate in counseling is an important one. Having a better understanding of what to expect from counseling can increase your comfort levels. Counseling may help you with a variety of concerns, including personal issues (e.g. anxiety, depression, or relationship problems). The beginning stages of counseling focuses on identifying the concerns that led you to counseling and then coming together to decide which services are appropriate. Some active options for dealing with the presenting problem range from educational reading, referrals to workshops, psychiatric consultation, and evaluating cognitive distortions. Individuals benefit more from counseling when the following areas are covered:

  • Attending scheduled sessions.
  • Being specific about the concerns that led to your decision to seek counseling.
  • Establishing with your counselor desired goals and outcomes to be achieved in counseling.
  • Discussing your progress and modifing your goals if necessary.
  • Participating actively and being as open and honest as possible.
  • Preparing for your sessions.
  • Telling your counselor if you don't think you're being helped.

Please call my office and speak with me directly about counseling and the benefits and value it can add to your life. I look forward to exploring this journey called life with each individual.
