LGBT therapists in Grand Prairie, TX

I believe therapy should feel less like performing and more like finally being able to exhale. My approach is warm, collaborative, insight-oriented, and rooted in genuine human connection. I specialize in psychoanalytic and narrative therapy, helping clients explore the deeper patterns, relationships, experiences, and stories that shape how they move through the world. Together, we work to uncover the “why” beneath recurring emotions, behaviors, relationship dynamics, and internal conflicts while also rewriting narratives that no longer serve you.

Maybe your brain will not slow down long enough to finish what you started. Maybe the worry arrives before you are even out of bed. Maybe something happened years ago that you have never really put down. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors carrying ADHD, anxiety, depression, and trauma, and I have spent over six years doing it across private practice, schools, and clinics. I work with people of all ages and abilities, in English or Spanish. It would be my honor to be a part of your journey.

Licensed Private Counselor, MS, MEd., LPC, EMDR Trained

I am a Licensed Private Counselor serving clients in Texas. I believe all experiences in our lives whether good or bad can help a person grow by equipping themselves with knowledge and skills to better understand who they are as a person. All information about a person is important and can be used as a steppingstone toward wholeness and healing. I have worked with children, teens, adults, and people with special needs.

Professionally, I have spent a decade in education (five years as a classroom teacher and five years as a school counselor). This is my third year as a therapist outside of the school setting.

For my masters degree, I attended Texas State University in San Marcos, TX (Eat 'em up cats!). At Texas State, I completed my MA in Professional Counseling with two focuses: school counseling and clinical mental health.

As a former educator, the populations I support include adolescents, young adults, educators, parents/guardians, and caretakers.

You’re not broken—you’re just carrying too much alone.

I work with high-achieving adults, athletes, and parents who are navigating anxiety, stress, perfectionism, relationship challenges, performance pressure or life transitions. Many of my clients are used to being the strong one, meeting high expectations, and taking care of everyone else—while quietly struggling to make space for themselves.

I have a particular passion for working with athletes and high performers who are navigating the challenge of figuring out who they are beyond what they achieve. I also work with parents and adults navigating changing roles, relationships, parenting, and the transitions that come when life doesn't look the way you expected - especially raising teenagers.

My approach is warm, practical, and real. I use compassion, humor, and insight from my own world to help you work through what's keeping you stuck, build confidence, and find tools that actually make things better. As a coach's wife, mom of 6, grandma, and professional who has navigated many of these same pressures, I understand how easy it is to lose yourself in the roles and responsibilities you carry.

You don't have to have the right words or have everything figured out before you come to therapy. We'll create a space where you feel seen, understood, and supported as you work toward greater confidence, balance, and a life that feels more manageable.
