Therapists in McKinney, TX

Are you feeling dissatisfied, overwhelmed, and disgusting? You work hard and you are stressed and exhausted. You feel overwhelmed, anxious, angry, and sad. You work so hard to do what is right but something still feels off. The things you have tried to feel better just don't seem to be working. You are seeking help, support, guidance, and you want answers. You probably have it together, most of the time, and most people would say your life is not that bad. But what people don't know is you feel dissatisfied, overwhelmed, and not yourself. You are discontent and you are searching for a way to feel "good enough". It's not that you're unmotivated to make things better. Maybe you've done therapy in the past, or have tried yoga, dieting, and prayer. But you're not getting enough of what you need on your own, and you sense something better is possible.

If you have been struggling with anxiety, feeling triggered, or generally feeling stuck in life, let's work together to develop the tools necessary to help you get on a happier and healthier life path. With my background in Marriage and Family Therapy, I have extensive experience in working with couples, families, and relationship dynamics including coparenting. I have successfully counseled many couples and have helped them improve the quality of their relationship. Conflict resolution, communication, coping skills, mindfulness, and de-escalation are all skills that I teach my clients in their journey towards health.

I have a passion for working with others to improve their quality of life. I have spent over twenty years working with children of all ages, adolescents and adults, whom have had emotional, behavioral, medical and learning challenges. I have experience providing family and marital counseling. My experience also includes working with individuals whom have dual diagnosis using different forms of psychotherapy. I meet my clients where they are to partner with them in making a positive impact in their lives. I choose to live my life by the words of Mahatma Gandhi “You must be the Change you wish to see in the World".

Children often do not have the words to express what they are thinking or feeling. Traditional talk therapy alone is rarely successful in helping children process difficult life situations. I help children overcome anxiety, depression, and other challenges. I also assist parents in building strong, open relationships with their children. If your child is going through anxiety, sadness, behavior problems, social issues, or life changes (divorce, loss of a loved one, etc.) I am happy to walk along side them in their journey. In addition to working with children, I also see teens and adults.

I believe that our past experiences shape how we think, behave, and react to new experiences. However, some of our beliefs, fears, and habits hinder us in the present and negatively affect our behaviors. I view my role as helping clients develop alternative ways of thinking in order for clients to reach their desired goals.

Therapy can be very helpful in addressing problems you may be having in your life. If you struggle with relationship problems, decision making, depression, anxiety, self esteem, impluse control, trauma, substance abuse, grief, addiction or life transitions; I can provide a neutral non-judgmental space to explore and resolve these issues. Many people believe they should be able to solve problems on their own and seek help often waiting until the situation has grown unmanageable. However, early interventions and proactive actions tend to lesson the impact of painful experiences, allowing you to move past problems more easily and quickly.

I believe that we sometimes need additional support as we navigate our unique journey in life. As a young adult in my early twenties, I met with my first counselor who introduced me to a group counseling experience that brought life-changing spiritual and emotional transformation. Although I had come to counseling for one problem in my life, the therapeutic process illuminated so much more than what I could articulate or even knew I needed. This initial encounter is what drew me toward the counseling profession and deepened my passion and motivation for helping others in the same way that I have been helped.
