I have been in private practice for over 26 years. I am privileged to counsel with adolescents age 12 and above, individuals and couples. Through counseling, I provide increased awareness and understanding of one's thoughts, feelings and behaviors and how one can develop more positive experiences in many areas of life. My therapy approach is interactive and solution focused utilizing various counseling methods to help you learn new skills and gain new insights. I collaborate with you to achieve healing and growth, emotionally, intellectually, behaviorally and spiritually.

MY GOAL: to promote mental, physical, & spiritual health for people at each developmental phase of life. Your struggles might include mood disorder or inefficient brain function. My broad-range experience: studied at Ohio State University under top-ranked professors in Counseling Psychology and brain injury. RESIDENCIES: Minneapolis VA hospital; Ohio State's brain injury rehab unit. 17+ years inpatient rehab neuropsychology experience at Baylor Rehab Dallas, Pate Rehab. 1990-95: Christian counseling & neuropsychology at Minirth-Meier Clinic.

As a mental health professional, I approach counseling in a way in which the client feels they are being listened to and validated, and I enjoy working with individuals and families. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over twelve years of experience. I have counseled families in areas including foster care and adoption, medical hospitals, inner-city communities, private school, and psychiatric facilities. I presently work at a private practice in Plano and specialize in anxiety, anger, depression, and struggles with mood, also providing pre-marital and marital counseling as well.

Are you depressed, anxious, feeling numb, or having difficulty staying focused? Do you feel trapped by your emotions and reactions? As a therapist, I aim to help you connect with all parts of yourself to cultivate growth and wholeness. We will work to identify patterns that are no longer working for you and build new ones to improve your quality of life.

Are you looking for a therapist that is culturally sensitive to your own unique story and journey in life? Have you been told or heard that therapy is for the weak or for "crazy" people? Are you looking for therapist that will provide a space that you can feel safe and comfortable to share your worries, concerns and anxiety about life?

I believe counseling is a way for everyone to process the events that have happened or are happening in their lives, and work alongside them to develop positive coping skills. Clients can expect for me to meet them where they are in life and approach our counseling relationship with empathy, interest, and intuition. I enjoy working with individuals from adolescents to adults and providing couples' counseling, including pre-marital, marriage counseling, infertility, and adoption. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, men's issues, and sex addiction.

Suffering from depression, anxiety, or the stress build up of daily life? I understand you unconditionally at the point you are at. I will work with you to ensure you have the skills with the use of CBT, modeling, and self efficacy training to conquer life's challenges. My approach is always directed with compassion and genuine empathy. I practice with appropriate conscientiousness to areas of cultural diversity and religious practices. My passion for helping you will serve to strengthen your resolve to meet your goals. Therapy should emphasize hope and a meaningful pathway to managing life as you journey on.

I am an empathic individual who is passionate about assisting others to achieve their fullest potential. I believe that every person has the power to change and to heal. I am open and receptive to working with people of all genders, faiths, ethnic groups and sexual orientations. I am confident that together we will work to resolve any issues you bring. I specialize in treating trauma using EMDR and have seen many clients heal from traumatic events using this modality. I also love working with people impacted by depression, anxiety and family issues surrounding addictions.

My counseling approach is collaborative in nature, with the goal of providing a comfortable, warm environment for my clients. I incorporate different counseling techniques from a wide range of theories, but tend to work most heavily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This type of therapy helps people overcome irrational, dysfunctional, and unhealthy thought processes that tend to add to and prolong emotional strain, trauma, and tension. I combine aspects such as EMDR, expressive arts, fitness, nutrition and nervous system regulation strategies into sessions.

My goal is to provide you with a safe and caring environment to evaluate your life and help you develop the skills to cope with daily living regardless of the events that have shaped your life.

Do you feel like you are carrying the weight of your past or that you can’t get a grip on intense emotions that overcome you at times? I've dedicated my practice to providing a supportive and understanding environment where healing and growth are not just goals but achievable realities. My approach is centered on the belief that everyone deserves to experience their own "aha" moments – those pivotal points of insight and clarity where understanding blossoms and the pathway forward becomes illuminated.

I am a professional counselor licensed in the state of Texas with over 10 years of experience working as a therapist and life coach. I have worked with clients with co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, disordered eating, personality disorders, and adjustment disorders, relationship issues, parenting problems, financial challenges, mental health issues, and addictions as well as many people who have experienced physical trauma and emotional abuse.

My primary specialty is romantic conflict. Many persons I counsel are either "stuck" or at an impasse. They just cannot seem to resolve their conflict. They often see their issues worsen despite efforts. I address the root causes, matters that often go unaddressed. These root issues are often why couples continue to fight. These matters are so strong that they can take the best of romances and turn them into near hatred and disgust. My secondary specialty is emotional management, including with children. I primarily address regret, fear, anger, and anxiety, helping you understand and manage emotions that hold you back.

With over 8 years of experience, I am a dedicated and compassionate Counselling Professional who is committed to helping individuals overcome their challenges and find inner peace. I believe that everyone has the strength and resilience to navigate through life's difficulties, and I am here to provide the guidance and support you need. I will work with you to develop effective coping strategies and empower you to make positive changes. My approach combines evidence-based techniques with a warm and empathetic demeanor, creating a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions.

Change is a part of life. Sometimes it can be easy to navigate, but sometimes change can knock you off your feet. I’m here to help you get back up, find direction, and move towards your goals.

The ideal client that I like to meet with is someone who desires help and wisdom for their situation. They are also someone who needs encouragement, direction and prayer. No matter what type of situation they are going through I am here to help and come along side of them. I understand that life can be very difficult and sometimes we find ourselves in situations that we never believed we would be in. It is this client whom I like to meet with so that we can work toward a better path for them.
