In Person Therapists in Plano, TX

None of us should have to face life’s journey alone. As we grow and enter new stages of life, things that worked for us in the past may no longer serve us well. Sometimes the challenges of life call for new responses. Counseling can be an opportunity to explore the rules, boundaries, and expectations that we have acquired over time and consider new possibilities.

Whether in person or online, I see you.
You feel stuck—like no matter what you do, the weight of stress, past experiences, or relationship struggles won’t let up. You’re exhausted from trying so hard but still feel unheard, unseen, or disconnected. Maybe you’re the one holding everything together, yet inside, you feel like you’re falling apart. The constant pressure, guilt, and burnout are overwhelming. You’re tired of the same arguments, the loneliness, the tension in your body that never fully goes away. You push forward, but deep down, you wonder… Does it ever get easier?

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor providing individual, couples, and marital therapy. Clinically I am interested in unconscious motivations and how they influence our daily lives and relationships. I believe as we begin to process and understand how our past impacts our present, we can work to cultivate awareness, find acceptance, and create meaning in our struggle.

As a somatic therapist with over 20 years of experience, I help clients move beyond insight into real change by including the body in the healing process. Many people understand what's wrong intellectually, but still feel stuck. When we work with emotions in the body, healing can occur naturally and sustainably. My approach blends Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness with somatic practices for regulation, emotional release, and integration.

I offer individual therapy sessions, in-person or virtually.
Therapy is the sacred space where we realize our innermost desires and contend with our greatest fears, all in the company of someone trained in undoing the aloneness of our suffering. My intention is to bring clarity to where you feel stuck, helping us understand the root cause of your dis-ease or inner conflict, rather than temporarily managing symptoms. I will make note of the parts of you that often go unnoticed. As I listen deeply enough to feel and see the world through your perspective, I can begin to expand your understanding of how your past experiences silently influence how you perceive and respond to your environment.
