Best therapists near Dallas, Texas

As a licensed therapist associate, I specialize in working with adolescents and adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and identity development. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems, and Client-Centered techniques to create a supportive and collaborative space for healing and growth. I believe that therapy should be a place where clients feel truly seen, heard, and empowered. Drawing from a client-centered foundation, I focus on building strong therapeutic relationships rooted in empathy, trust, and authenticity. Using CBT, I help clients develop practical tools to challenge unhelpful thought patterns and build healthier coping strategies. Incorporating Family Systems theory, I also explore how family dynamics and relational patterns influence present-day struggles and strengths. I strive to meet each client where they are and tailor therapy to fit your unique needs and goals. My goal is to help clients gain insight, build resilience, and make meaningful changes that lead to a more fulfilling life.
