Therapists in Frisco, TX

In addition to providing individual counseling for teen depression, teen anxiety, ASD, teen self-harm, and other teen-related issues, I also provide teen support groups. Group is one of the most powerful tools in helping teens grow and get better alongside other teens. When teens realize they are no longer alone they begin to see there is help and there is hope and want to be a part of a small community with those who understand. Each teen support group is led by a trained therapist with a small group of 4-7 members and ensures positive productive conversation as well as the development of new coping skills. ​​

I am experienced in EMDR and regularly integrate Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) techniques into the challenge of understanding and healing the self.
