I specialize in helping men and couples heal from relationship trauma, whether that trauma stems from challenges within a marriage or past experiences that have been brought into the relationship. Together, we can work to uncover the root causes of your struggles, whether it’s unaddressed emotional pain, unhealthy coping mechanisms, or the underlying beliefs that continue to drive your actions. While my specialty includes relationship trauma and men struggling with unwanted sexual behaviors, my clinical experience includes treatment of a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, and compulsive/addictive behaviors.

I understand what it feels like to be stuck in cycles of shame and frustration, especially when it comes to struggling with sexual integrity. From the outside looking in, I had it all. A loving wife, beautiful family, successful career, I was living the dream…it seemed. However, what no one saw was the secret life I was living and the sin and shame that had me trapped. If you find yourself in a similar place—feeling trapped by behaviors that undermine your sense of self-worth, your relationships, or your life goals—I want you to know that there is hope. I have seen God’s redeeming work in the lives of countless men and couples that I have had the privilege to walk alongside.

Through a personalized approach rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), we will work to heal the deeper issues at the heart of your struggles. CBT helps identify and realign faulty beliefs that are holding you back, while EFT focuses on the primary emotions driving unhealthy behaviors and sabotaging your connection with others. My goal is to walk with you through this difficult journey of self-discovery, healing, and transformation. It’s not just about overcoming specific behaviors—it’s about reclaiming your identity and restoring your sense of purpose.

Healing, redemption, and freedom are possible, but it takes commitment, hard work, and a willingness to face the challenges ahead. Together, we will work toward rebuilding trust, growing in empathy, and restoring intimacy in your relationships. Whether you are seeking to rebuild your marriage, restore your sexual integrity, heal from past trauma, or address other concerns in your life, I am here to meet you where you are and help you move forward with confidence.

In addition to running a counseling practice, Healing Journey Counseling, with my wife Leah, I am currently on staff at Cottonwood Creek Church, where I lead the Sexual Integrity Ministry. My educational background includes a BS in Psychology from Texas A&M University and a MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. We have 2 beautiful children and love being anywhere outdoors.

An Exhausting and Impossible Path

-The perfect daughter who does not make trouble, the perfect student who excels in grades, and the perfect sister who selflessly cared for others. That’s who Lydia was trying to be, and that’s how she grew up, with the weight of expectations on her shoulders, striving to be perfect.

However, within a culture where emotions were seldom discussed, Lydia sensed that something crucial was missing from her life. Unspoken rules dictated that she must project an image of having everything under control, leading her to tirelessly pursue perfection in an attempt to make everything seem “okay.”

Breaking Free from Expectations

Living this way proved to be devoid of joy and ultimately unsustainable. The demands of maintaining an impeccable facade took a toll on Lydia, and she realized that the pursuit of perfection was not only exhausting but also impossible. Recognizing the need for change, she courageously decided to give up the charade and embrace who she truly is. Finding her voice for her emotions became the pivotal starting point for Lydia to regain the freedom to be her authentic self.

A Path Redefined: From Beijing to Dallas

After completing her master’s degree in Cognitive Neuroscience, Lydia made a life-altering decision as a single adult, leaving her life in Beijing to start anew in Dallas. Despite being on the cusp of entering a Ph.D. program in her field, Lydia’s path took an unexpected turn. Choosing to enroll in the biblical counseling program at Dallas Theological Seminary, she quickly discovered her deep passion for counseling. The joy she experienced while working with people surpassed anything she had previously found in lab work or data analysis. Lydia knew that she had found her true calling.

Love, Family, and Hobbies

Lydia has been happily married to her wonderful husband, Ang, for over a decade. Together, they are blessed with three adorable and energetic boys who bring boundless joy to their lives.

Beyond her counseling work, Lydia finds fulfillment in various activities. You may catch her on a refreshing run, gracefully swimming in the water, or indulging in the freedom of horse riding. Heartfelt conversations over coffee or tea with friends nourish her soul, while exploring different hiking and biking trails with her family creates cherished moments. Lydia also finds solace and inspiration by immersing herself in the beauty of nature.

A Journey of Healing and Self-Discovery

Through Lydia’s own journey of embracing authenticity and healing, she has not only found personal fulfillment but also discovered her true purpose in helping others on their own paths of self-discovery and acceptance. With her unwavering dedication and passion for counseling, Lydia is committed to walking alongside her clients, supporting them through their challenges, and guiding them toward personal growth and transformation.

I spent the first 5 years of my career devoted to the stabilization and treatment of eating disorders. I have been a therapist and in leadership at all levels of care in multiple treatment settings. I work with adolescents and adults who experience body image distress and minor to extreme eating disorder behaviors.My experience is that the more you lean into establishing your values and buildinging your relationships the less hyper-focused on your physical appearance you will become.

Over the past 4 years of having my private practice I have increasingly worked more with women and teens who are struggling with anxiety, depression, past trauma and the troubles of everyday modern life. From teens hurting from being left off the group chat to women struggling to make real connections in the throes of parenting, I am here to walk alongside you.

Finally, I have several teens and adults on my caseload who are neurodiverse (specifically ADHD and Autism). For these folks the goals are often different. The work I do with them can look a lot more like life coaching including improving school or work attendance, taking small steps to make connections and staying on track with medication management or daily living skills. My approach is working with the individual in session and collaboratively with the parents as appropriate behind the scenes.

I have my Masters of Science in Counseling from Oklahoma State University and am licensed in the state of Texas. We have clinicians in my practice who are in network with most insurances.
