Chronic Illness Therapists in Frisco, TX
Have you/your loved one experienced a medical event or new diagnosis? Are you having a difficult time adjusting? It is common to experience both physical and emotional struggles following stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, cancer diagnoses, dementia, and other illness onset. Often our roles within our family transition from caregiver to the one who needs to be cared for. Decreased independence and being more dependent on others often makes us feel like a burden. Fears related to these diagnoses can cause anxiety and depression. Role change may place stress on relationships and family dynamics.

I use an affirming approach to find new ways to access strength, creativity and collaboration within your home. My hope is that you feel empowered to act on your core values to be the best version of yourself.

It is hard to see your child going through a tough time, even harder when you feel unable to help. Growing up can have many challenges (bullying, break ups, social media, big feelings, and school). This doesn’t include the challenges that you and your child may have experienced as a family: death/illness of a loved one, divorce, or a big move. I have been working with children/adolescents for over 10 years and have 3 children of my own. I am a licensed psychologist with both a clinical child and school psychology background which uniquely qualifies me to support you and your child during especially tough times.

I bring over five years of experience in working in social services with children who are refugees, asylees, and trafficking survivors in foster care, followed by my 10 years of experience as a private practice therapist working with adults and teens. There are losses and hurts in life that you can’t just get off your chest, talk to a friend, walk off and get over. These kids knew that. I knew that. I have therapies in my toolkit that have been shown to get those chronic conditions and stuck problems moving.

ADHD, Anxiety, Burnout, Trauma, Chronic Illness, Relationship & Interpersonal Issues, LGBTQ plus Affirming Care.
I work best with adults who often feel like they are carrying a lot internally, even if things appear “fine” on the outside. Many are caring, responsible, and emotionally thoughtful individuals who are used to holding things together for others while quietly experiencing anxiety, burnout, overwhelm, or self-doubt. They may be navigating relationship stress, ADHD, trauma, or life transitions and are looking for a space to slow down, feel understood, and reconnect with themselves in a more grounded and supported way.
