Family Therapy in Plano, TX

My goal is to walk alongside individuals, couples and families to see how to best help in their time of need. I work hard to help provide hope to those who are hurting, and believe the only way to experience true change, is for God, to ultimately change a person's heart.

Welcome and thank you for exploring my profile! The process of therapy begins with hearing your story and the things you are struggling with. I hope to provide a non-judgmental, safe place where counseling care is contextualized to meet your needs. I believe that what we do flows from who we are. And when we experience various traumas/stressors in our life, there is a chance we can internalize them and believe unhealthy narratives about ourself and the world. While learning coping skills/practical tools are important, I have learned that working through the core/root issues are where long-lasting healing takes place.

Deciding to begin therapy takes courage as it shows a desire and a hope for change. I am dedicated to inspire growth and hope back into your life. I provide a safe and nonjudgmental environment to address your concerns and work to meet your personal needs. I provide individual, couple, and family therapy to clients of all ages: children, teens, and adults. My areas of expertise are depression, anxiety, struggles with life changes, behavioral challenges, communication issues and conflict resolution.

Are you having problems with your spouse or partner? Are you feeling sad or anxious? Are you going through a divorce? Are you trying to stay away from addiction? Control anger? I can help with couple's issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, relapse prevention, and much more. You've taken the first step today. Let's talk! (through Telehealth or in person). In addition, I do return to school evaluations (Risk assessments), provide Anger Management classes, parenting/co-parenting skills, alcohol awareness, Social skills for Autism, Child abuse and neglect trainings, and I do Immigration Evaluations. I am also an LPC-Supervisor.

I strive to combine a warm, engaging, relational style of counseling along with an ability to challenge clients about the issues they face. I am passionate about working with individuals and families as we navigate through the mountains and valleys of life together. As a faith-based counselor, and an ordained minister, I have been privileged to help many people deal with their emotional needs by being sensitivity to core issues, recognizing how crisis and trauma affect their mental state, and by relating to individuals, couples, and families where they are. Together, we will find the right therapeutic interventions to help you.

Do you have difficulty understanding and managing emotions and physiological reactions to life stressors? Do you experience guilt and anxiety about religious issues, or feel lost in the current political, cultural, and/or economic climate? Are you experiencing conflict in your marriage? I have worked with people experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, overwhelming levels of stress, and PTSD. I have also worked with clients recovering from physical, sexual, religious, psychological abuse and trauma. I seek to bring relief to my clients as they process past experiences, current stressors, and develop positive ways of coping.

You know it’s time for change, but don’t know where to start. You've had some type of adversity or trauma and can't figure out how to move on or feel better. Maybe you're feeling depressed, anxious, or having problems at work or home. Whether it’s trauma, adversity or stress you just want to get past it and stop feeling stuck. I can help - sometimes you just need someone to confide in that “gets it.” Not only can I help you move past it, I can help you thrive because of it. No matter what the root of the issue is, trauma, relationships or life challenges, I've helped many other people find themselves again and can help you too!

God never intended for us to face the problems in our lives apart from Him. He desires to be involved in the process of bringing about healthy and holy change in our lives. Jesus said that "Man shall not live on bread alone but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." I strive to base my counseling approach firmly on Scripture. The Bible is God's perfect, powerful, life transforming and saving word. God has spoken, definitively, regarding all areas of our lives. He indeed has the answer for whatever your problem(s) may be.

I specialize in addictions, mood disorders and relationship psychotherapy. I believe in helping the client focus on action as quickly as possible to aid them in relieving their pain.

I know that it is tough navigating this life of uncertainty, especially when life is not going "according to plan". Life is messy, human relationships are rarely just black and white. Sometimes we need help understanding ourselves and the people we love. If you deal with individual internal conflicts (anxiety or depression) or external conflicts (stressors with family ADHD-Strong Willed-Children, or family partnerships) and seeking to empower yourself and live a more fulfilling life, I am ready to journey alongside of you.

Welcome to the first and most courageous step of therapy - looking for help and support. I consider myself a compass helping adolescents, adults, families and parents by guiding them in the direction of health and well-being. People are already whole and complete. Sometimes life experiences, circumstances, illness and relationships can impose clouded judgment, maladaptive behavior, poor self esteem and obstacles from achieving what we truly desire and deserve. My approach is educative, supportive, trusting, safe, evidenced based and healing. Most importantly, I customize treatment plans unique to each client and at their pace..
