Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Frisco, TX

For over a decade my aim is to make your counseling experience as fulfilling and meaningful as possible by creating a customized treatment plan that leads to real, tangible results. I am passionate about the impact of addiction and trauma on individuals and families, and specialize in helping those struggling with chronic relapse, especially when the traditional treatment models (30 days in residential rehab, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient) haven't helped in the past. The goal of therapy is to achieve sobriety, but more importantly to heal the relationships of the harms caused by years of addictive behavior.

Whether you are working through past trauma , recent trauma , getting through rough patches, seeking greater self-satisfaction, or looking for encouragement on a spiritual awakening, I can provide support. Exploring these life issues begins with a relationship built on trust, respect, warmth, and humor. Therapy, at its core, is an exchange of energy between therapist and client, an energetic reciprocation to begin the healing process, which is paramount to guiding a client to embrace their authentic self. This is my approach to assisting others to move through and into a better version of themselves.

Life gets difficult sometimes, and I believe we weren’t created to navigate it alone. I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey towards overcoming life’s challenges.

Moving forward requires change, and I believe we all have the capacity for change. My aim is to empower you to make the necessary decisions and changes to achieve your goals. That is what our time together is all about – helping you work towards your goals. I believe change and growth are always possible, but never easy.

Each person is unique and so is what they come in with. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process. In fact, I pull from different treatment protocols to find what best fits you. This isn't a place where I tell you what to do or give advice, but a place where I join in with you in your process and we collaborate together to meet your needs. My goal is for therapy to be as efficient as possible, working through what we need to each session and maximizing a felt connection by undoing aloneness.

I have been working with clients of all ages including adolescents, the young adult population, children, and parents throughout my career through clinical interventions for challenging mental health issues, or coaching for the parents to go through the tough time for their teens.

Emotional regulation is the key while rebuilding the new neurological pathway for our brain to process difficult life experiences.
