UnitedHealthcare UHC | UBH Therapists in McKinney, TX

Are you tired of going down "Memory Lane" only to come back to "Stuck Avenue"? We've all heard "just let it go" or "get over it" and "the past is the past". If only it was that simple! The truth is, letting go and moving forward often requires a lot of mental and physical energy that sometimes we just don't have. It means waking up and pretending that you are living your best life when in reality you feel defeated. If this is you, I am here to help get rid of the excess baggage that causes pain, trauma, and fears in your day to day life. Let's stop existing and live! Together, let's Create Happiness and Restore Trust (CHART).

My goals are to help people feel heard and understood and to feel comfortable being their true self. Some of the values I carry with being a therapist are honesty, kindness, humor, being genuine and keeping things. I love that every day I have the opportunity to meet someone seeking help where they are and walk with them through their journey.

Do you ever ask yourself any of the following: Why do I feel frustrated or powerless when dealing with others behavior? Why does this problem/issue keep coming up for me? Why does life feel overwhelming and daunting at times? How do I get more out of life and where do I start? How do I break from old patterns and create a more rewarding way of life? These are some of the topics that my clients work through in our sessions. Facing life and all the relationships within it can be extremely challenging, and at times feel impossible, yet it is unavoidable.
