ADHD Therapists in Van Alstyne, TX

My therapeutic philosophy involves utilizing a holistic approach incorporating Gestalt and Adlerian therapies. As a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in athletes, children, adolescents, and young adults, I frequently work with clients experiencing issues related to poor sport or school performance, life changes during adolescence, life transitioning from college to career, parenting issues, sibling relationships, and divorce family transitioning. Topical issues may include low self-esteem , ADHD, transitioning from athletic identity, peer relationships, anger management, self-mutilation, eating disorders, and self-empowerment. A fundamental element in my approach is establishing the therapeutic relationship through rapport and building trust between the client and the therapist.

Our focus is to help individuals and families heal, energize, and move forward by providing a neutral safe space with customized treatment plans. We promise to be there for you every step of your journey.

My ideal client wants change. Although they may be struggling, they are trying to hold on to hope. There is hope. If you are struggling with depression and anxiety, trying to cope with past trauma or just navigating life's challenges, there is hope. I work from a cognitive behavioral model to understand the connection of our thoughts, feelings, and actions and how one may be stuck in a cycle with these thoughts and feelings dragging them down. I am an active counselor, so I don't just sit back, we work together with you developing the skills you need to move forward with your life. I also provide EMDR services.

I approach therapy as a partnership with my clients in which you are the ultimate decision-maker and I work with you to clear away obstacles and identify opportunities. My clients have successfully overcome or depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma, marital stress, parent-child difficulties, domestic violence, substance abuse, bipolar disorder, and anger issues. My specialties include working with the lgbtqia2s+ community and working with teens!

When your children are experiencing problems, it impacts the whole family! I have a passion for helping children and parents work through their problems to come to a happier and healthier place. I can help with a wide range of behavioral and emotional concerns that you may have for your child or teen. Each child is unique, and I use a variety of techniques that are modified to fit your child’s needs including play therapy, expressive arts, games, activities, and talk therapy. I will also work with you as a parent in learning how to respond to your child’s feelings and behaviors in the most effective and healthy ways.

Having experience as a teacher and counselor, both in schools and in a private setting, I have an understanding and appreciation for the struggles that children face as they try to navigate their worlds. Now more than ever, people need the space to process hardship and uncertainty while learning news skills to help them adjust and thrive. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified School Counselor who has worked with elementary students and teachers for the past ten years. I earned my MS in Counseling from Texas A&M University-Commerce after receiving my BA in Psychology from the University of North Texas.

Imagine a life free from the barrage of doubt, uncertainty, & anxiety. A life where you confidently make decisions that align with your true self, without being overly influenced by the opinions of others. Can you imagine how fulfilling life could be if worries about your health, the constant stream of “what if’s”, & the worst-case scenarios no longer dominated your thoughts?
