I work with adults who feel stuck in patterns they understand intellectually but have difficulty changing, often related to early trauma, complex family dynamics, or relationships. You may find yourself disconnected from yourself or others, struggling with shame, boundaries, people-pleasing, or a sense of who you are. Together, we can slow down, get curious about what’s happening, and explore what might be possible.
Life can get heavy—whether you’re juggling family dynamics, relationship stress, parenting challenges, or just trying to stay afloat. Maybe you’ve always been the dependable one, the person everyone else leans on, but you’re starting to realize it’s time to focus on yourself. You want less tension, more connection, and practical tools that actually make a difference. You’re not after a quick fix—you just want someone real to help you sort things out and walk with you through the hard parts.

I strive for creating the conditions were humans can regain their curiosity, hope, and a new interactional perspective of themselves. Having also also known love, generosity, tolerance, respect and solidarity. I reject the need for cynicism: under the right conditions one can comfortably adhere to the unconditional confidence in the human potential for self-understanding, tolerance and positive change.

Hello, I’m David. I work with individuals dealing with stress, anxiety, and major life changes, as well as those adjusting to injuries or ongoing health issues. Life can feel overwhelming when physical or emotional challenges start affecting your daily routine. In our work together, we focus on practical strategies that help you regain balance, improve coping, and move forward with confidence.
Life can shift unexpectedly-and when it does, the stress, trauma, or emotional pain can leave you feeling lost,
isolated, or overwhelmed. Whether you're healing from abuse, facing a major transition, navigating
relationship stress, or coping with anxiety or depression, therapy can offer a path toward clarity, peace, and
renewal. You're not alone.
Hello, I'm Alexis, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Texas, with 4 years of experience in social work, specifically in pediatrics.

I obtained a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Texas at Arlington and a Bachelor degree in Psychology from Capella University.

I earned my Clinical Social Work License in the winter of 2025 and consider myself to be a dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have been practicing child-centered play therapy for one year under supervision and have seen the transformative power of play.
