Feeling a certain level of anxiety over big stressors or certain life events is totally normal. However, if you find that your fear or worry does not go away and, in fact, gets worse over time, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Mild anxiety is vague and unsettling and often passes quickly, while severe anxiety can seriously affect your day-to-day life. If you are finding your anxiety unmanageable, can’t identify the cause of your anxious feelings or if you are suffering from physical symptoms (such as heart palpations, fatigue, sweaty hands, upset stomach, or insomnia), it may be time to get help. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s anxiety specialists today.

My style is warm and empathic, yet I can be challenging when it is needed in order to achieve growth. I have an eclectic approach to treatment, but tend to draw from relational and cognitive behavioral approaches in order to design a specialized treatment plan based on your unique needs.

My clients battle with a range of issues: identity, depression, anxiety, life transitions, communication, self-esteem, trauma, shame/guilt, personality. Clients describe me as a "direct" therapist, meaning, I am able to empathically tell them the truth or assist them in holding themselves accountable for what they are trying to change. A strong therapeutic relationship is the basis for treatment success; therefore, I strive to be my authentic self in forming therapeutic relationships.

My clients are usually involved in court cases, e.g. sex offense or child abuse allegations (true or false allegations), child custody evaluations (social studies), family law cases, immigration cases, including need for domestic violence or extreme hardship evaluations or Adam Walsh evaluations. I also do a limited amount of treatment of sex offenders and others with mental health needs in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Our character is not defined by bad decisions made in our worst moments.
