Cognitive Processing (CPT) Therapists in McKinney, TX

Licensed in Texas and Illinois. As we navigate our unique journey in life, sometimes additional support is needed along the way. My interactions with clients are grounded in compassion, respect, empathy, and an understanding of cultural impacts. My role as a therapist is to help educate and empower clients so that they develop the insight and skills necessary to overcome their own personal and situational challenges. Examining the core of your presenting symptoms can be challenging but you are worth the life changing experience. I work with couples, families, & individuals including adults and adolescents ages 14+.

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".

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 have a passion for helping divorced clients, military personnel along with their families, and couples struggling in their marriage. I help people who are Christian and non-Christian alike find hope and healing!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I obtained my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from The University of Houston – Clear Lake, and my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Texas A&M University. Whoop! Much of my experience has included treating adults struggling with complex PTSD, OCD, phobias, social anxiety, addiction, adult ADHD, and depression. Additionally, I have a passion for providing treatment to other helpers, such as first responders, veterans, social workers, counselors, nurses, doctors, teachers, and those who endlessly serve our communities.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate supervised by Heidi Johanson, LPC-S. I am passionate about working with adults who are seeking help for trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, LGBTQIA affirming care, mood disorders, and trauma informed parenting. I also work with veterans who are struggling to transition back to civilian life. I served in the U.S. Navy as a Hospital Corpsman and trained as a behavioral health technician which was an invaluable experience that solidified my journey to working in mental health. I enjoy fostering a healing environment for my clients and watching them grow into finding self-discovery.

Recognizing that something is off is the first step to mental wellness. We could not do our jobs of restoring mental well-being without the acceptance, cooperation and work our clients give. We treat a number of disorders, and provide a neutral ground of counseling to individuals, families, and couples. We want you to know our goals are the same: to energize you with therapeutic support that enables you to live a more joyful and fulfilling life — because that is what you deserve.

Are you tired of putting effort into people and problems that require more energy than you have and it's still NEVER enough! Does your involvement lead to the loss of your identity and often leads to a bad situation getting worse?! Now it's you who goes to bed depressed, wake up anxious, and feel lost because you've given everything you got! Living, loving, and supporting yourself or others is not suppose to be exhausting or one-sided. One-way streets have to end somewhere. I can help reroute you to Restoration Ave. where you will find the Recovery Inn and Suites! Our mission is Changing Hearts and Restoring Hearts Trust (CHART).

One of the hardest decisions in life is to seek help. We all encounter challenges and/or disadvantages at some point, and it is easy to feel discouraged and criticize yourself in this process. Although these difficulties can affect you in profound ways, I believe that they are also opportunities to learn about your inner world and reflect upon what is working and what is not. This journey is quite exhausting for one person, so I aim to become a part of your support system. I hope to empower each individual to make personal choices that will allow them to discover confidence, direction, happiness, peace, and healing.

I identify as a cis female identifying as non-binary that prefers the pronouns she/they born in the United States. I approach therapy as a partnership with my clients in which you are the ultimate decision-maker and I work with you to clear away obstacles and identify opportunities. My clients have successfully overcome or depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma, marital stress, parent-child difficulties, domestic violence, substance abuse, bipolar disorder, and anger issues. My specialties include working with the lgbtqia2s+ community and working with teens!

Have you ever felt like you were in a situation that you have not realized was so bad until recently, but now do not know what to do about it after having lived with it for so long? Maybe it is a situation or a person you have been living with that has been causing you grief? Perhaps a recent trauma has affected you in ways that others have suggested might be unhealthy, even? Perhaps also you struggle with an addiction, and need help breaking free?

I help clients struggling with sexual issues and how those affect their relationships. Pornography use, affairs, emotional affairs, and online affairs can have a devastating effect on our primary relationship. How do you stop the behavior that is doing the damage? How can you repair the damage that has been done? Is the relationship salvageable at all? I can help. If you are not in a primary relationship, I can show you how the above behaviors may be keeping you from the successful intimate relationship that you desire.

I have been found to be very effective in conducting mental health/substance abuse interventions and therapy. I treat individuals that present with persistent mental illness to impaired professionals including lawyers, pilots, entrepreneurs and other high-achieving individuals who are experiencing difficulty managing their careers and relationships due to dual diagnosis, psychiatric disorder, demands of stress and all types of addictions. With several years of inpatient, outpatient, and clinic experience, I become known for being able to identify and treat the real problem. Let's work together, you truly can feel better!

Children and adults have many stressors and concerns in their lives that may be difficult to talk about or share with close friends and family. Many having the fear of being judged hesitate sharing their true fears and anxieties and small children may not even have the words to properly describe what they are feeling. I provide a safe environment where people can come and talk about (through talk therapy, activity therapy, or play therapy) their experiences in their day to day lives and how it effects them. I further assist parents to build on their parenting skills and open the lines of communication.

We all hit a point in our lives where we could use a little support. I am honored to assist as one makes those life transitions. We can take a team approach to finding solutions to obstacles in your way. I have a passion for helping those with addictions. Those can be substance abuse or process addictions such as gambling or sex or love. This experience has allowed me to work with co-morbidities with depression and anxiety. We can evaluate the reality of where you are and where you would like to be. I am also trained in complex trauma. I am currently accepting new patients via telehealth only.

It has been a pleasure to serve both Texas and New York communities both in private practice and public school settings for almost 20 years. A client centered approach to the therapeutic process is what drives my eclectic technique. Meeting each client where they are and collaborating with children, adolescents, individuals, families and couples to set achievable goals is the foundation of my multifaceted/multidimensional method.
