Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Allen, TX

As your counselor, I want you to know that you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, relationship struggles, or questions of self-worth, I’m here to walk alongside you with encouragement and support. My passion is helping people find their voice, discover new ways to express emotions, and build healthier patterns in their lives. Together, we’ll work on quieting negative self-talk, setting boundaries that honor your needs, and creating space for healing and self-discovery. My hope is that our time together will leave you feeling more empowered and hopeful.

Hi, I’m glad you’re here. I’m an EMDR certified, licensed professional counselor who believes real growth starts with curiosity, compassion, and a little bit of courage. Therapy with me is more than just managing symptoms—it’s about uncovering your strengths, celebrating progress, and building a life that feels balanced, resilient, and truly yours.

I take a warm, collaborative approach that gives you a safe space to explore patterns, process challenges, and build on what’s already working. Together, we’ll blend practical tools with deeper reflection to help you move through life’s struggles, find your balance, and create a life that feels good to live. My hope is that you leave each session feeling grounded, encouraged, and connected to what matters most.

Finding the right mental health provider can feel overwhelming, especially if you've tried therapy or medications in the past without getting the relief you were hoping for. My goal is to help you move beyond simply managing symptoms and toward feeling like yourself again.

I am a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) with over 16 years of healthcare experience. I specialize in treating adults with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, insomnia, OCD, and treatment-resistant mood disorders. My advanced psychiatric training was completed through Monmouth University and Wilkes University, where I focused on Evidence-based psychiatric care.

I believe that effective treatment starts with understanding the whole person not just the diagnosis. Together, we'll explore the biological, psychological, and lifestyle factors contributing to your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan that fits your goals. My approach combines thoughtful medication management with practical therapeutic strategies that you can apply in everyday life.

For individuals whose depression has not improved after trying multiple antidepressants, I also evaluate and provide treatment options such as Spravato (esketamine) when clinically appropriate. My focus is always on finding the safest, most effective treatment based on your unique needs.

Patients often describe me as warm, approachable, honest, and solution focused. I strive to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in your treatment decisions. Whether you're seeking help for the first time or looking for a new approach after previous treatments haven't worked, I'm committed to helping you build lasting emotional wellness and improve your quality of life.

I strive for creating the conditions were humans can regain their curiosity, hope, and a new interactional perspective of themselves. Having also also known love, generosity, tolerance, respect and solidarity. I reject the need for cynicism: under the right conditions one can comfortably adhere to the unconditional confidence in the human potential for self-understanding, tolerance and positive change.
