Grief counselors and therapists in Mckinney, TX

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Counseling and Development, specializing in Marriage, Couples, and Family Counseling, I offer a culturally responsive, integrative, and systems-oriented approach to therapy and coaching. I work with teens 12+, adults, couples, and families who are ready to better understand what is happening in their lives and relationships—and begin creating meaningful change. Together, we explore the patterns influencing emotional well-being, communication, relationships, and personal growth while developing practical strategies that fit your unique needs.

I also support clients navigating sexual concerns, including sexual dysfunction, intimacy, and sexual well-being and pleasure, as well as the psychological and relational aspects of fertility challenges. My goal is to provide a safe, respectful, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood, gain clarity about what may be keeping you stuck, and become more confident in moving forward. Through our work together, we can turn challenges into opportunities for growth, strengthen relationships and family systems, and build practical skills that you can continue using beyond the therapy room.

I am a mom of 3 little ones and I've been a professional counselor for over 15 years. I love working with clients of all ages and stages of life. I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology (with focus on Experimental Psychology) from UT-RGV. I am a somatic experiencing (SE) practitioner.

Looking for someone who will truly listen? I believe everyone needs support, and I strive to be that steady presence in therapy. Clients often describe me as warm, open-minded, and easy to talk to. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself.

I worked in education for 10 years, teaching at-risk youth and special education. I received my M.Ed. in Counseling from Tarleton State University in 2015 and have been working in the mental health field since that time. I specialize in trauma and working with women and young adults experiencing life stage changes. I am trained in EMDR and Trauma Focused CBT, and use an eclectic approach which allows me to modify my approach based on client need.

When life feels overwhelming, it's easy to lose sight of yourself while trying to keep everything else together. Anxiety, depression, family conflict, grief, or difficult life experiences can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. You don't have to keep carrying those burdens alone. I work alongside individuals experiencing anxiety, family issues, stress management, grief and loss, and relationship issues so they can build healthier relationships, regain emotional balance, and reconnect with the life they want to live. Working with adolescents, adults, and seniors, I strive to create a compassionate, supportive environment where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and empowered to create meaningful, lasting change.

When anxiety, depression, mood changes, or emotional stress begin to interfere with your daily life, it can feel like you're carrying more than you were ever meant to carry alone. You may be tired of simply getting through the day and ready for a clearer path forward. My goal is to provide a supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and understood. Together, we'll uncover what's contributing to your struggles and create a plan that helps you regain balance, build confidence, and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
