Dallas Counseling for Anger, Depression, Anxiety and Domestic Violence

My role as a psychotherapist 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 client 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, and it is my goal to help you recognize and realize your abilities. Positive change occurs through the collaborative relationship between counselor and client.

My Dallas counseling 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.

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.


Dallas Counseling Information

The reasons for seeking a therapist vary widely and 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. 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.

I have discovered that many individuals dropout of counseling because they do not feel a connection with the counselor or the client feels like no progress is being made. We will work as a team to avoid these pitfalls by developing a treatment plan that will be measured every week, testing the client and therapist connection with the Working Alliance Inventory, and evaluating the impact of each out of session assignment.
