Counseling in Dallas, Texas

Life Coaching

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Doctorate in Psychology, I work therapeutically with clients who wish to work towards their personal goals.  

My areas of specialization include:

  • Marriage and family
  • Interpersonal relationships
  • Life transitions
  • Self-esteem and self-image
  • Spirituality
  • Life vocations/careers
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Stress and coping skills
  • Other related concerns

As a Life Coach, I work more from a problem-solving and goal-setting perspective, helping clients reach their personal life goals. I’ve worked with many clients over the years on non-therapeutic concerns such as family (parenting, blended families, raising children in divorced families, aging parents, death and dying, etc.) and business (interpersonal relations on the job, returning to work in later life, career choices and uncertainties, juggling family and career, etc.).

Sometimes our life struggles demand a spiritual response. As a Spiritual Director (trained through the HeartPaths Spirituality program), I add a spiritual dimension to my work upon the client’s request, either separately or in conjunction with my counseling or life coaching.

As a Life Coach and former Licensed Professional Counselor with a Doctorate in Psychology, I work with adult clients who wish to identify, clarify, and work towards their personal goals. I’ve worked with hundreds of clients over the years on non-therapeutic concerns such as family (parenting, blended families, raising children in divorced families, aging parents, death and dying, etc.) and business (interpersonal relations on the job, returning to work in later life, career choices and uncertainties, juggling family and career, etc.). 

Sometimes our life struggles demand a spiritual response. As one trained through the HeartPaths Spirituality program and educated through the Graduate Theological Foundation, I am confident addressing spiritual questions and concerns in conjunction with my life coaching.

My personal philosophy is simple.

I believe we are created with a divine plan, a purpose that is unique to each of us.

I believe that divine plan or purpose is related to what we call the soul.

I believe that our life challenge is to grow in understanding of that divine plan and become the person each of us is called to be.

My personal philosophy is simple and universal, best articulated perhaps by the English poet John Donne four centuries ago. Translating his timeless words into contemporary parlance, Donne reminds us that none of us are solitary islands in this vast and interconnected world in which we live.  We are, every one of us, a part of the whole, and if the least among us is lost, or hurting, or in need, we all suffer. The sufferings of one are the sufferings of all, and every death portends our own. Therefore–and reverting now to his original words–“send not to know for whom the [funeral] bell tolls. It tolls for thee.”

 

 

I am available for counseling during the week (typically 8:00-4:00) and on Saturdays (typically 8:00-2:30).
