Therapists in McKinney, TX

Have you had transitions in your life lately that it just feels overwhelming? Are you unsure what to do anymore as life is getting harder and harder? Are you tired of feeling like this and are ready to not just exist, but thrive? I congratulate you on taking this step, because I know there can be many hurdles to receiving therapy and finding the right therapist. As you are considering the right fit, I’ll tell you a little about myself and my approach to therapy. I love helping others with life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma to get to a more promising place holistically (not just mentally).

I specialize in men’s issues. I've always felt pushed to be a "lone-wolf" and culture told me to "be a man" or "get over it" when it came to my emotions. As men, when we have a problem we deal with it on our own, often by using pornography, drinking, playing video games, or searching elsewhere for affection. We lie, we defend, we run. We constantly look for peace and acceptance, even if it’s temporary or fake. It can feel hard to trust those closest to us and we may think, “No one cares about my needs but me” or "if they really knew me, they wouldn't love me."

I work with children as young as 3, teens, adults, couples, and families. I hope to help you work through any issues related to depression, anxiety, and even relationship concerns in premarital and marriage counseling. I have also worked in crisis counseling and shelters, as a crisis counseling and trauma informed trained professional. Working with youth that have lived through trauma, I have extensive knowledge and skill helping adolescents work through issues such as depression, anxiety, school stress, self esteem, self harm, and bullying.

I'm dedicated to supporting individuals of all ages, from children discovering their voices to adults navigating life transitions. My down-to-earth style is known for building a therapeutic atmosphere where you feel accepted, supported, and safe. Remember, you can be a masterpiece and still be a work in progress. I've completed the coursework for Child Centered Play Therapy and am working towards my credentials in CCPT as well as Registered Play Therapy (RPT).

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in the state of Texas under the supervision of Laurie Todd, MS, LPC-S. I graduated with a Masters of Arts in Professional Counseling and hold a Master of Divinity Degree. I strive to create a safe, caring, and compassionate therapeutic environment where clients are able to explore life issues and struggles. I desire to help teens, adults, and couples work through and find freedom from issues that they have been dealing with for days, decades, or anywhere in between. I've also enjoyed working with clients from numerous backgrounds and cultures to help them reach their goals.

My therapeutic philosophy involves utilizing a holistic approach incorporating Gestalt and Adlerian therapies. As a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in athletes, children, adolescents, and young adults, I frequently work with clients experiencing issues related to poor sport or school performance, life changes during adolescence, life transitioning from college to career, parenting issues, sibling relationships, and divorce family transitioning. Topical issues may include low self-esteem , ADHD, transitioning from athletic identity, peer relationships, anger management, self-mutilation, eating disorders, and self-empowerment. A fundamental element in my approach is establishing the therapeutic relationship through rapport and building trust between the client and the therapist.

I have been in education for 35 years and served adolescents as a counselor for the past 20 years.

I also believe it is important to instill confidence in them. These days it seems the relationship between client and therapist is more important than ever and I hope to build such bonds.
