Christian Therapists in McKinney, TX

Se habla español. Struggling individuals need to know that someone cares, that a new day will come, and that there are principles available to help them recover and rebuild. As a Christian Counselor (Pastoral), I utilize a conservative biblical foundation through Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. Whether you're a pastor who needs counseling for yourself, the whole family, a single mother, a widowed father, a divorcee, etc. there is hope!. No one has to bear life’s difficulties alone, even if you have had a moral, spiritual, or emotional collapse.

I have experience in counseling those that are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, stress management, and self-esteem. I work to help clients take back control of their own feelings, and to know that they can reach the goal of becoming their best self. I aim to help adolescents and adults build healthy boundaries and change negative thinking patterns in order to live a more fulfilling life. My hope is to help clients see all the positive qualities that they hold in an effort to promote genuine self-love.

You can get your life back! You don't have to stay stuck! We can use eye movements and voluntary image replacement to keep the facts but erase the negative feelings using ART!

I help people who are Christian and non- Christian alike find hope and healing!

As a bi-racial black clinician, I predominately help Christian women of color to heal from family wounds and social trauma by creating a safe space that allows you to be your genuine self while feeling heard and validated.

Each person has the ability to experience growth and change during the counseling process. My focus is from a Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach.
