I’ve worked in a variety of mental health fields, including inpatient & outpatient psychiatric programs, residential treatment facilities, & a handful of private practices. These experiences have given me a multi-faceted view of the spectrum of care for mental health. I believe it has allowed me to truly understand every side of mental health treatment.
I work with adults, couples, and teens, helping people untangle challenges that often feel overwhelming, interconnected, or hard to name. I believe most struggles don’t exist in isolation—they affect our relationships, our emotions, and how we move through the world. My role is to truly get to know you, understand your story, and support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.
My background is both clinical and academic. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, along with graduate degrees in Philosophy and Sociology, and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Communications. I’m also a doctoral candidate in Educational Psychology. This combination allows me to look at your concerns through emotional, relational, and systemic lenses—not just symptom-focused ones.
I specialize in trauma work, relationship therapy, and working with preteens and teens—who are often misunderstood but incredibly important to support early. I’ve trained in EMDR, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), CBT, Art Therapy, and Conflict & Dispute Resolution. Above all, I value creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and genuinely supported.

Hello! I'm an LPC offering individual counseling to adolescents, college students, and adults experiencing difficulties such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, among other areas. I received my BS in Psychology from Texas Christian University in 2016 and my MS in Counseling from East Texas A&M in 2018. Growing up, I loved helping others and felt that listening and empathy came naturally to me. It's a privilege now to bring these same aspects into my role as a counselor.
Solutions and progress are key therapy. Processing in a safe environment. Marriage, pre marriage, abusive power, pornography and sex dependencies, and Christian issues are specialties allowing growth without judgement or shame.
I believe that healing happens when people feel truly seen, heard, and accepted. As a fun-loving person who is still a child at heart, I strive to create a welcoming, authentic, and nonjudgmental space where clients of all ages can feel comfortable being themselves. My goal is to meet you where you are, honor your unique experiences, and walk alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges.
I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults who are experiencing the effects of trauma, anxiety, and other challenges that impact daily functioning, relationships, and overall well-being. I am also passionate about providing affirming and supportive care to members of the LGBTQIA+ community, ensuring that every client feels respected, valued, and empowered throughout the therapeutic process. Additionally, I am proficient in American Sign Language (ASL) and am committed to fostering accessible and inclusive care for members of the Deaf and hard-of-hearing communities.
My approach combines compassion with evidence-based practices. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused counseling, and the SYMBIS Premarital Assessment. Whether you are seeking support for personal growth, healing from past experiences, strengthening relationships, or managing life's stressors, I am committed to helping you build resilience, discover your strengths, and create meaningful change.
I believe that every person deserves a space where they can feel safe, understood, and empowered to grow. My hope is to help you build on your strengths, overcome obstacles, and move toward a life that feels more connected, balanced, and fulfilling.
Life is hard and sometimes scary. We all need a safe place to get support and help. I am here to walk alongside you and navigate the uncertainty.
I have a BA in sociology from The Ohio State University and a MA in Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University. I am an inclusive counselor, an LPC, in the state of Texas and a National Certified Counselor through the NBCC. I see see adolescents and adults specializing in trauma and addiction.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Frisco, TX
Searching for therapists in Frisco starts with finding the right fit for what you want to work on. Some people look for support with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, grief, or major life changes. As you compare Frisco therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and therapy approach match your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand how they structure sessions, what concerns they often support, and what working together may look like.
In a mid-sized area like Frisco, your best match may be close to home, near nearby communities like Plano, McKinney, or The Colony, or available through virtual sessions. In-person therapy in Frisco may work well if you prefer a set office visit, while virtual therapy can offer more flexibility around work, school, caregiving, or commuting. Beyond specialty, compare appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you spot communication style, clinical focus, and practical details that matter for day-to-day fit.
Therapy in Frisco can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
