I work with clients who are willing to invest in themselves and their personal growth and healing. I believe that all of us have been wounded in various ways and to differing degrees by the vicissitudes of life and events of our past. I do not pathologize our natural responses to such painful events but rather help people to heal from them. This frees people to live fully in the present.

I offer in-person therapy in Plano, TX and virtually.
Each one of us has a story—one that begins long before we fully understand its impact. Life’s experiences, especially those we carry quietly, can begin to shape our relationships, marriages, and families in ways we don’t always recognize. Over time, these unspoken burdens can affect our peace, joy, and connection—often impacting our children and the family systems we care deeply about.

In my work, I prefer to focus on what is happening right now to help you keep what is working and change what isn't... There are times we must remove some roots to help us move forward and we can do that in a safe environment. Working with a counselor who respects your values and life experience provides the potential for creating an atmosphere for growth further propelling the process of change.

I've worked with adolescence and families for around 25 years in a variety of settings. These settings include being a youth / children's pastor prior to starting my counseling journey. Much of my experience involves working with those that struggle with abuse, depression, relationship conflict, self harming behaviors, legal issues, and behavior problems. Although I am licensed to practice counseling through the State of Texas, I am a Christian and the fundamentals of my practice are in line with traditional Christian faith.

Now seeing clients virtually and in person.
People often come to counseling feeling exhausted from carrying something that hasn’t
gone away—anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship struggles, or ongoing life stress.
Sometimes people begin to wonder if they should be coping better than they are. I work
with adults and teens who want to reconnect with hope, resilience, and the parts of
themselves that may have become buried beneath the struggle. Together, we can build
practical skills and create a path forward that feels meaningful and sustainable.

LIFE be LIFING… From the outside, you’re holding it together—but inside, you’re exhausted and running on empty. Your mind won’t slow down, your emotions feel heavy, and you’re just trying to get through the day.

New clients have an opportunity to join me in-person or in virtual sessions Monday-Friday, with flexible scheduling.
As a woman therapist, I bring cultural awareness, lived understanding, and advocacy into the therapy space. Many of my clients are women who carry a lot—emotionally, relationally, and socially. They often wear many hats, feel unseen or misunderstood, and are navigating stressors that others may minimize. I am intentional about creating a space where clients feel seen, validated, and not alone.
I value culturally responsive and contemporary psychological frameworks and don't rely on outdated models of care. My work prioritizes relevance, emotional safety, and real-life application.

I am currently doing telehealth sessions, but ask me about home therapy as well if you would like a face to face session and are in Ellis County, TX!
One of my beliefs is that people cannot truly love, or allow themselves to be loved in return, if we do not first find a way to love ourselves. Fundamentally, we can become wounded because of relationships, which in-turn, adversely affect how we interpret our own meaning and attachment to the world and others. However, as we grow in awareness and care for self, we can begin to heal in relationships just the same. This is accomplished by working through those past wounds which tend to manifest in and become the present behaviors and intentions that harm us and others.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
