Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Carrollton, TX

With more than 20 years of experience, I've had the opportunity to support individuals and families through many different seasons of life. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling to find balance, or simply ready for something in your life to change, my goal is to provide a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood.

As a mother of four, I also understand firsthand how demanding different stages of parenting and family life can be. My experience has strengthened my passion for supporting parents, women, young adults, and teens as they navigate life's challenges. Together, we'll build on your strengths, improve communication and coping skills, and develop practical strategies that can help you feel more confident and equipped moving forward.

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”

― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

I am a firm believer that life–even the best of lives– has moments of pain and suffering; however great or small. Some come to pass quickly and float away from our consciousness, while others stay with us, shape us, change our relationships and the way we see the world. The rest of our life is filled with moments dependent on how we cope with, process and accept those moments of pain or suffering.

I specialize in therapy for the women everyone relies on who feel like if they stop, everything falls apart, helping them quiet anxiety, let go of perfectionism, and finally believe they are enough.

Example: "I have always wanted a job where I was of service to others, but I didn't know how to channel that into a career until I took an introduction to psychology course in college. We learned a lot about mental illness, what causes it and different ways to treat it, which inspired me to pursue my degree. I loved the idea of helping others overcome mental illness and helping them achieve their life goals."

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who welcomes clients ages 14 and older. I am a mother and retired Army veteran who served in military intelligence as a Chinese Cryptologic Linguist.

My work as a forensic interviewer for children who experienced abuse and neglect strengthened my ability to sit with difficult stories and provide safe, trauma-informed care. My lived experiences with trauma, abuse, and autoimmune illness have also shaped my understanding of the mind-body connection.

For more than twenty years, I have had the privilege of walking alongside adolescents, adults, and couples during some of the most difficult and meaningful seasons of their lives. I believe that sometimes it can be difficult to see beyond the darkness in front of us. My role is to listen without judgement while helping you find your way toward the light again.
