Wholistic Counseling in Fort Worth, Texas
Mind - Body - Spirit
At Authentically Rooted Counseling, I provide an integrated & wholistic counseling experience for Adults and Couples.
Counseling is like physical therapy, but for your emotions and your brain.
You can Google healthy coping strategies, but we all have trouble remembering what we read during a marital fight or wave of OCD. This is normal.
We can’t logically read and unlearn trauma or emotional patterns simply through insight. The emotional side of our brain has to be slightly activated while we experience the new pattern with our partner or our self so the brain learns the new pattern is safe or desired.
Wholistic therapy is designed to gently guide you through such experiences so you can heal the root.
Over the past 5 years have intentionally sought out dynamic therapeutic trainings to lead you through integrated, deep, & lasting healing, spanning the entire body, mind, & soul connection.
I am passionate about helping people find their authentic balance, which feels good so staying there becomes second nature. I want to help you get out of the cycle of “knowing what you need to do differently then beating yourself up when you don’t do it.”
To my knowledge, I am the only Marriage Therapist in Fort Worth who treats Obsessive Compulsive Disorder with both couples and individual therapy.
I also specialize in Anxiety, Family of Origin Healing, Infidelity, Divorce Discernment, Communication Coaching & Attachment Healing.
Many of my clients are simply seeking a balanced life and self actualization.
My view of Therapy

Specialties
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Have you tried Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) before and still feel like you are “white knuckling it”?
I see individuals and couples struggling with OCD. I combine evidence based ACT Exposures and Internal Family Systems to get to the root of OCD and release you from the cycle. You do not have to keep playing compulsion “whack-a-mole”.
Anxiety
Whether it is generalized or social anxiety, I can help. Between ACT and IFS, I can guide you through external changes and internal exploration to get to the root of the problem.
Attachment
How is your attachment style impacting your life? Your relationships? Your communication? I can help you and your partner find out which of the four attachment styles you have developed with each other. I will form a treatment plan to help you heal from past and current attachment wounds.
Communication
Do you feel like everything you say gets dismissed? Or do you feel like you are constantly dodging crticisim and don’t know to stop the conflict anymore?
Learn how to communicate in a way your partner can hear with a Satir Model trained communication specialist.
Family of Origin
What you learned while growing up with your parents may have helped you get to adulthood, but it also may be what is tripping you up in your current relationships. Get to know yourself and your patterns more deeply and expand your skills.
Couples
By combining attachment science with Emotional Focused Therapy and Communication science supported by the Satir Model, I have learned how to help couples reconnect after many forms of hurt. Infidelity, lying, money mismanagement, and mental health struggles, are some of the obstacles couples have overcome by learning how to communicate differently in couples counseling.
