Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Mesquite, TX

Recognizing the need for growth and change can feel intimidating, but taking that first step toward therapy shows courage and a willingness to invest in yourself. I create a warm, supportive space where clients can safely explore past and present experiences. Together, we work to understand patterns, emotions, and challenges that may be holding you back. I view therapy as a collaborative journey where we move at your pace while building insight, self-acceptance, and meaningful change. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.

LIFE be LIFING...You’ve been carrying a lot for a long time. Maybe anxiety, depression, past experiences, or high-stress situations are starting to catch up with you, and it’s getting harder to manage on your own. You might feel stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand or unsure how to move forward. If you’re ready to feel more in control, break unhealthy cycles, and finally have space to focus on yourself, we can work together to help you create clarity, stability, and real, lasting change.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with fifteen years of experience helping women, couples, and teens navigate life's most meaningful transitions with greater clarity, resilience, and connection. My practice focuses on women ages 35 and older experiencing perimenopause, hormonal changes, infertility, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, anxiety, grief, caregiving, career transitions, and shifting identity.

I also work with couples who want to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen emotional intimacy, as well as teens (ages 14+) facing anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, family conflict, and major life changes.

I earned a PhD from B.H. Carroll Theological Seminary and hold master's degrees in counseling and theology. My approach integrates evidence-based therapy with compassionate, personalized care. For clients who desire it, I thoughtfully incorporate Christian faith perspectives, welcoming both Catholic and Protestant traditions while honoring each person's values and beliefs.

I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in treating childhood attachment wounds, complex trauma, anxiety, and depression. I also enjoy parent coaching.

As a therapist, I strive to create a space that feels safe, supportive, and full of hope. I believe that everyone has the ability to create change in their life — sometimes we just need the right tools and someone to walk beside us. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths and move forward with confidence and self-compassion
