Therapists in Richardson, TX

I am currently accepting new clients. I’m a firm believer that therapy can’t be ‘one size fits all.’ While there are some tried and true practices that I utilize, none of my clients’ therapy journeys will look alike because no two people are exactly alike! I am dedicated to helping my clients explore what’s not working for them, and identify the right tools for making impactful change.

Change can be difficult for people but wanting to feel better is a start. I believe that change is possible and that people can adjust and live up to their fullest potential. As a licensed professional counselor-supervisor (LPC-S), I believe that providing a non-judgmental, supportive environment for clients to fully express and explore their feelings, thoughts, and struggles is essential. Typically, I use a range of counseling approaches, including trying new coping skills, such as emotion regulation, to identifying and processing your thoughts to see how they may affect your feelings to exploring acceptance and how that may fit into your life.

Our trauma is not merely an event; it's a deeply felt wound narrating stories of harm, neglect, and betrayal, deeply embedded in the fabric of our being. It interrupts our narrative, demanding to be acknowledged and engaged with. I believe sharing our story and mourning our wounds serves to both honor and restore dignity to the parts of ourselves that have faced shame and harm. My passion lies in assisting clients by helping them tell their stories and gently uncovering the pain, thereby revealing paths to healing and growth, leading to thriving life patterns, enriching relationships, and building a resilient, secure sense of self
