Sandplay Therapists in Irving, TX

For many people, walking through a therapist's door for the first time can be intimidating. It doesn't have to be. My practice offers professional and confidential services in a safe, comfortable and home-like environment. We provide individual, family and couple therapy; children 3 years and older.

I am at my best when working with individuals and couples that want balance; balance between others and themselves but also within themselves. Folks that want to explore their values and enhance their sense of self and I work well together. People that want to work with me do so because I am an alternative friendly and knowledgeable therapist with a strong background in mental health ethics. Clients that identify as "straight but alternative", "LGBTQA" as well as those choosing non traditional relationship structures such as Polyamory, ENM, blended families, and "swingers" all will find me informed by my experiences so I can help.

As a psychotherapist and registered play therapist, my goal is to help you and your family uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges.

At Grief Recovery Center, our vision is a world where no one is afraid to seek mental health help, regardless of background. We believe that everyone deserves healing, hope, and compassionate mental health care. Our diverse group of mental health counselors and psychologists can help you navigate various life transitions and challenges through compassionate counseling and therapy in a cohesive and supportive environment.

As one who has experienced complex trauma myself, I believe I can relate to my clients’ experiences and needs. My philosophy is no one should have to live under the shadow of trauma and how it affects the body. Trauma can be tough on survivors, but there is help and hope for healing. Most trauma victims exhibit some signs and symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This can lead to Anxiety, Depression, Disassociation, and a myriad of other mental illnesses. These are the areas I specialize in by offering healing and hope to my clients allowing them to be in control of their trauma and not their trauma being in control of them. Strong mental health is so important and can change the trajectory of your life by helping you go from debilitating disorders to manageable and healthy mental health. https://compassionworks.com/a-mothers-story-september-suicide-awareness-month/

Irving sits at the heart of the Las Colinas corporate corridor — home to the headquarters of ExxonMobil, Celanese, and dozens of other major companies — creating consistent demand for therapists experienced with executive stress, workplace culture, and the psychological cost of high-stakes corporate careers. The city's large South Asian and Korean professional communities generate significant demand for culturally competent therapists who understand bicultural identity, immigration stress, and the intersection of professional ambition with family expectations. Baylor Scott & White Medical Center Irving provides institutional mental health resources, with the broader Dallas-Fort Worth metro therapy ecosystem accessible to residents across the city. Irving's role as a corporate suburb rather than a city with strong neighborhood identity means social isolation and community-building are recurring therapy themes.
