Attachment Lab Counseling: Individual and Couples Therapy in Dallas, TX
Trauma Therapy for Adults and Couples Wounded by Relationships.
Your relationship with yourself is full of self-doubt, criticism, overthinking, and guilt. The abuse you survived growing up or the loss you’ve experienced as an adult are hard to put words to, but you know deep down that you’re fake smile can only cover it for so long. Your relationship with your partner is a pattern of recycled hurt, blame, and loneliness as you both recreate the same conflict over and over and feel further apart each time. Your worst fear is looking at each other asking" “when did we become like the people who hurt us?”
You’re stuck in a pattern that prevents a safe, trusting connection with yourself or the one you love the most.

My practice was built from the desire to address forms of trauma that aren’t addressed in both the broader culture and mental health culture specifically. Grief from divorce and loss of important relationships, abuse within families and homeschool settings, and trauma in romantic relationships are so often shrouded by silence and that makes recovery more lonely than it needs to be. At Attachment Lab, the mission is to give you the space to feel heard in a story that often gets misunderstood and to get real, practical help in processing your experiences. As an attachment clinician, I focus my training and education on these areas and have honed my excellence as a specialist.
I am also a survivor of much of what I treat and my lived empathy puts me in a unique position as a therapist to truly understood where you’re coming from rather than relying solely on theory. A client of therapy myself, my hope is to empower you in the same way I would want.

I am an out-of-network provider, so payment for sessions is direct and due at the time of service. This allows you more confidentiality and freedom of choice in your sessions. Specifically, it avoids both a mental health diagnosis going on your permanent record AND insurance companies having access to your confidential records.
However, this doesn’t mean that you can’t use your benefits. Some insurance plans reimburse out-of-network mental health appointment between 50% - 80% of the session cost - the rate of repayment is unique to your plan. I utilize a benefits calculator during our consult call to help you instantly determine your out-of-network coverage. If you have benefits, I will automatically provide you with a superbill which is essentially a detailed receipt for services that contains all the information your insurance needs to reimburse you for appointments.
-
You can access my calendar directly by clicking the “book a free consult” button below and scheduling yourself a free 15 minute phone call. This is a time to help you determine if I am a good fit for your needs, ask any questions you have, and make sure you feel comfortable moving forward in scheduling. At the end of the consult, if we both feel that it’s a good fit, we will schedule your first session, and I will provide you with a link to your client portal where you can see your schedule and access your intake paperwork.
